"Head of Equity Capital Markets Advisory, North America"

Equity capital markets are the channels and activities through which companies sell ownership stakes (shares) to investors, including initial public offerings, follow-on share sales, and block trades. Think of it as a marketplace or storefront where firms raise money by offering pieces of the business; the size, timing and price of those offerings can change a stock’s supply, dilute existing ownership, and influence valuation and future growth prospects, so investors watch it closely.

secondary offerings financial

"including initial public offerings, follow-on and secondary offerings, and block trades"

A secondary offering is a sale of a company’s stock that happens after the initial public offering, either when the company issues more new shares or when existing shareholders sell their shares. It matters to investors because it can change the number of shares available and dilute the ownership stake of current shareholders when new shares are created, or signal that big holders are cashing out if existing shares are sold; think of it like adding more slices to a pizza or current owners selling their slices.

block trades financial

"including initial public offerings, follow-on and secondary offerings, and block trades"

A block trade is a single, large buy or sell of shares or bonds arranged privately between big traders rather than piecemeal on the public market. Think of it like buying a whole shipment at once instead of many small shopping trips; it lets large holders move big positions with less immediate disruption but can signal strong buying or selling pressure and cause price swings once the trade is known, so investors watch block trades for clues about market sentiment and liquidity.
