The usual practice is for one or more investment bankers to buy outright from a corporation a new issue of stocks or bonds. The group forms a syndicate to sell the securities to individuals and institutions. Investment bankers also distribute very large blocks of stocks or bonds - perhaps held by an estate. Thereafter the market in the security may be over-the-counter, on a regional stock exchange, the American Exchange or the N.Y. Stock Exchange. 5, record 2, English, - firm%20underwriter

The insurance company or the individual who has agreed to supply the indemnity to an insured against loss by certain perils. 4, record 6, English, - insurer
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is desirable to use the word insurer in preference to carrier or company since it is a functional word, applicable without ambiguity to all types of individuals or organizations performing the insurance function. Carrier or company is confusing, the former because of the use of the term in transportation and in insurance concerned with transportation, the latter because of its broad use to designate organizations who are often insureds. 5, record 6, English, - insurer
