Understanding the Role of Institutional Investors

Chapter Chapter 8 in Investor Relations and ESG Reporting in a Regulatory Perspective, 2022, pp 49-55 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, our focus is on the buy-side as institutional investors. These are primarily professional institutions and individuals with significant capital under management. We discuss the role and motivation of portfolio managers (PMs) in tier 1 and tier 2 functions, buy-side equity analysts and other investor groups, including private equity and proprietary (prop) trading. PMs are defined as professional investors who typically represent a particular investment fund with assets under management (AUM) backed by the significant means of capital handled by pension funds, banks and independent funds. In any function, higher performance results in an increased level of responsibility. PMs use a combination of equity analysts, buy-side analysts and industry experts to support their daily work.
