The objective is to explain the role of the financial markets and their structures which facilitate wealth maximization.

We have learned that financial institutions act as intermediaries to make connections between savers and those seeking financing.

Financial markets are broken into a variety of classifications: primary market, secondary market, money market, capital market, broker market, and dealer market.

This creates incentives for companies to go global; thereby, increasing international trade. This requires a network of financial markets worldwide to facilitate the exchange of money which crosses borders requiring business owners to understand the role these markets play to help them maximize wealth.
