A capital market is a financial market in which long-term debt or equity-backed securities are bought and sold.

Capital markets are defined as markets in which money is provided for periods longer than a year.

Capital markets channel the wealth of savers to those who can put it to long-term productive use, such as companies or governments making long-term investments.

In finance, market data is price and trade-related data for a financial instrument reported by a trading venue such as a stock exchange.

Market data allows traders and investors to know the latest price and see historical trends for instruments such as equities, fixed-income products, derivatives and currencies.

In finance, leverage (sometimes referred to as gearing in the United Kingdom and Australia) is any technique involving the use of borrowed funds in the purchase of an asset, with the expectation that the after tax income from the asset and asset price appreciation will exceed the borrowing cost.

Normally, the finance provider would set a limit on how much risk it is prepared to take and will set a limit on how much leverage it will permit, and would require the acquired asset to be provided as collateral security for the loan.

For example, for a residential property the finance provider may lend up to, say, 80% of the property's market value, for a commercial property it may be 70%, while on shares it may lend up to, say, 60% or none at all on some shares.

Efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) is a theory in financial economics that states that an asset's prices fully reflect all available information.

A direct implication is that it is impossible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information or changes in discount rates (the latter may be predictable or unpredictable).
