## Definition

In the financial markets - transactions in financial products and, in particular, securities, - offered by providers not supervised by the supervisory authorities - usually within certain social groups. - The pre-market trading of institutional investors after the announcement of the subscription range and before the first listing of a security. This is made possible by the fact that, as a rule, permanent large investors and, above all, fund managers are already committed to a certain number of units before the allocation to small investors, and they may then already sell these papers - usually shares - at a profit (the period between the setting of the price and the effective delivery of papers; these papers are traded on the grey market even though they do not technically exist. Transactions on the grey market are unwound [are settled] after settlement, delivery and the first official quotations). - See Agiotage, blue-sky laws, daimonion, representation currency, dingo values, domicile concealment, financial vultures, ghetto banking, foundation fraud, hawala, high-risk countries, Internet forums, capital market, gray, credit ceiling, offshore financial centers, parallel banking, avenging angels, shadow banking, late trading, underground banking, comprehensibility, angle brokers, secondary placement. - Cf.
