Frequently Asked Questions
A primary placement is the process by which an entity issues and tenders a negotiable security for the first time. This is carried out in the primary market and its main purpose is to raise capital to finance different projects.
Bids are specific bids through which investors can purchase various securities that an entity decides to tender. In the primary market every day many bids with different characteristics and bids are recorded.
The competitive tranche is the segment of the bids in which the final price of the instrument being traded is sought to be influenced. Investors who wish to participate in this tranche must indicate in their bid the maximum price (or minimum rate) they are willing to pay for the instrument being offered. In the non-competitive tranche, on the other hand, no price or required rate is indicated because investors are willing to pay the price (or receive the rate) that is defined in the placement, regardless of what it is.
No, they cannot do it at any time. For each placement, the issuer and the underwriter agree to define a start date and time and a closing date and time for the placement, which is known as the auction period. For the auction period of a placement, please refer to the prospectus of the placement.
In the primary market, the issuer is the entity that issues and offers new securities in order to raise funds. On the other hand, the underwriter is the financial intermediary that assists the issuer in the issuance and bidding of these securities by attracting bids, evaluating the offers and setting the final price.
On the one hand, bidding in a primary placement offers the issuing entity the possibility of raising capital to finance its projects. On the other hand, it gives investors the opportunity to place capital in a company to obtain financial returns, usually by acquiring the marketable securities at more attractive prices than in the secondary market.
Issuers may issue negotiable securities in PESOS or USD through our system. The offers that investors submit must be in the same currency in which the security was issued. This means that investors may invest in PESOS or USD, depending on the currency in which the security was issued.
Generally, minimum bidding quantities are defined for each placement in the competitive and non-competitive tranches.
These are securities issues designed to finance projects that promote environmental, social and economic sustainability, attracting investments towards initiatives that generate a positive impact in certain areas to foster a more sustainable economy.
