Glossary - Private Placement
Private placement refers to the offering and sale of stock shares or bonds to pre-selected investors and institutions rather than on the open market. It is a way for companies to raise investment capital through the sale of securities without the need for a public offering, which can be costly and time-consuming. Private placements are considered a less public, faster, and sometimes more cost-effective way for companies to raise capital.
