What Are Institutional Investors?

Institutional investors are typically considered professional investors.
Run by investment professionals, they will often have members, clients, or beneficiaries relying on them to make sound investment choices with their money.
Hedge funds, municipalities, pension funds, charitable organizations, private equities, retirement plans, endowment funds, insurance companies, corporations, commercial banks, union funds, foundation, and commercial trusts are examples of institutional investors.
Regarded as sophisticated investors, institutional investors are allowed to invest in unregulated or risky products.

If Institutional Investors Are Sophisticated Investors, Why Do They Need To Hire A Broker?

Even professional investors may need expert investment advice.
Broker-dealers can help institutional investors make large-volume trades and give them access to investment opportunities they may not know about or be able to otherwise avail.
They can provide research and market intelligence, record-keeping, risk management, compliance, and other services.
