Business Issues Forums

Capital Markets

A capital market is a market for securities, where companies and governments can raise long-term funds. Capital markets include the stock market and the bond market. Financial regulators, such as the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital markets in their designated jurisdictions to ensure that investors are protected against fraud, among other responsibilities.

This Forum covers the most current, most topical dialogue on capital markets, conducted in group discussions with fellow Counselors. This topic is regularly scheduled at each of The Counselors conferences. The sessions demonstrate how Counselors can assist in this process.

Past topics have included:

• the availability of capital in today’s market: who is lending, what are the terms, where is the market going…
• practical applications in today’s new real estate frontier, building institutional relationships and the value of the operator
• institutional investment markets
• finding funding – how a major company obtained capital for a large-scale mixed-use development
• learn more about what fellow CREs are encountering in their practices and share practical solutions and strategies

The next Capital Markets Business Issues Forum will be held at the 2012 Chicago Midyear Meeting:
