Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most of the buying and selling in primary markets involve an investment bank. This is because companies looking to raise capital through initial public offerings (IPOs) or issuing new securities generally employ investment banks as underwriters to manage the sale and distribution of these securities to investors. While the SEC does monitor and regulate primary market activities, it is not necessarily true that it is highly transparent or in the public view. The Federal Reserve is not typically involved in these transactions.
