What Is An Institutional Investor?

Many institutional investors are entities that make investment decisions for its individual members or shareholders. They often trade in huge volumes involving substantial transactions and a lot of money. There are also institutional investors that are businesses that utilize securities to raise money. Certain government entities may also be institutional investors.

Examples of Institutional investors:

Endowment funds
Hedge Funds
Commercial trusts
Corporations
Businesses
Retirement funds
Charitable organizations
Private equity funds
Pension funds
Municipalities
Private companies
Public companies
Asset managers
Public investment funds
Private investment funds
And more.

Institutional investors, including those that manage pools of money for others, may decide to hire a broker or investment advisor.

Over the years, our Portland, OR institutional investor recovery lawyers have represented many clients who have suffered serious losses because of unsuitable investment recommendations, overconcentration, misrepresentations and omissions, unauthorized trading, churning, Regulation Best Interest violations, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence, gross negligence, vicarious liability, a failure to supervise, fraud, and more.

Even if the fraud wasn’t perpetuated by the brokerage firm, if it failed to protect an institutional investor or its members from falling victim to a hedge fund scam, a Ponzi scheme, bond fraud, self-dealing, conflicts of interest, or more, there could be grounds for suing for damages.

When an institutional investor that manages money for others becomes the victim of fraud, those who entrusted their funds to this entity also can end up sustaining losses. Not only that, but the institutional investor may be subject to legal action for failing to protect everyone’s assets.
