Key Terms
institutional capital marketsfinancial
The institutional capital markets are the part of finance where large organizations—like pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, hedge funds and banks—buy, sell and lend big amounts of stocks, bonds and other securities. Think of them as the wholesale side of markets: their trades supply most of the money, shape prices and liquidity, and can drive market moves or influence access to large-scale funding, which matters to individual investors and companies alike.
capital raisingfinancial
Capital raising is the process a company uses to get money to run or grow its business, either by selling ownership stakes (shares), borrowing (loans or bonds), or other financing tools. It matters to investors because it changes a company’s cash position and risk: new borrowing can increase debt, and selling new shares can reduce existing owners’ percentage—similar to adding fuel to a car to go farther but changing who owns the car or how it’s financed.
private wealth managementfinancial
A personalized service that helps wealthy individuals manage and grow their money by combining investment advice, tax and estate planning, retirement strategy, and risk management. It matters to investors because it tailors a long-term plan to protect and increase assets—like having a financial concierge who builds a custom roadmap and selects investments and safeguards that fit your goals and life circumstances, rather than using one-size-fits-all advice.
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cushman & Wakefield announced that it has hired Kevin Donner as Vice Chair, based in the firm’s Los Angeles office.
