Feminine noun. In Business Spanish a bolsa is a facility where stockbrokers and traders can buy and sell securities, such as shares of stock, bonds, and other financial instruments. E.g.: Los inversores vendieron las acciones en la bolsa: Investors traded the shares on the stock exchange.
We have a lexical combination here: cotizar en bolsa. E.g.: Las acciones de YPF cotizan en la bolsa de Buenos Aires: YPF shares are listed on the Buenos Aires stock exchange. If we want to express the moment the company is listed for the first time, the expression we use is salir a bolsa or, curiously, entrar en bolsa.
The word bolsa has its origin in a place where trade meetings were held back in the 13th and 14th centuries, the ‘Huis ter Buërse’, belonged to a Flemish family from Bruges, surnamed Van Der Buërse. The coat of arms of this family displayed three leather bags (bolsas), the purses of the time. dc

Masculine noun. Capital inversión is a type of financial activity that consists of the acquisition, by a specialized entity, of the majority package of shares of a company. The investment capital entity thus becomes the majority owner of the company, usually temporarily, since after a while the sale of the purchased shares is usually carried out. E.g.: El sector incluye los fondos de inversión libre y los fondos de capital inversión, así como los fondos inmobiliarios, los fondos de materias… The sector includes hedge funds and private equity, as well as real estate funds, commodity funds, infrastructure fund. As you can see, in Spanish capital inversion refers to the activity and not to the entity, in this case we say fondo de capital inversion.
A grammar point: This is a new term and it breaks the Spanish grammar rule that two nouns cannot be together. I would use capital de inversión or capital-inversión but I must admit that capital inversion is the expression generally used in the field. dc
