  7. Public equity • The transferability of shares • Separation between investment horizons

  8. What we should expect from stock markets • Serve as venue where growth companies effectively can access equity capital. • Produce information from many independent sources so that capital is allocated effectively among competing ends. • Engage shareholders in the monitoring of corporate performance.
