Secondary Sale
A secondary sale refers to the sale of existing securities or assets, such as shares of stock, from one investor to another within the secondary market. Unlike primary sales, where funds raised from issuing new securities go directly to the issuing company (such as in an IPO or initial public offering), in a secondary sale, the funds go to the selling shareholder, not to the company whose shares are being traded.
