Institutional Investors vs. Retail Investors: What’s the Difference?
Investing attracts different kinds of investors for different reasons. The two major types of investors are the institutional investor and the retail investor.
An institutional investor is a company or organization with employees who invest on behalf of others (typically, other companies and organizations). The manner in which an institutional investor allocates capital that’s to be invested depends on the goals of the companies or organizations it represents. Some widely known types of institutional investors include pension funds, banks, mutual funds, hedge funds, endowments, and insurance companies.
On the other hand, retail investors are individuals who invest their own money, typically on their own behalf.
Broadly speaking, the main differences between the institutional investor and the retail investor are the rate at which each trades, the volume of money and investments involved in their trades, the costs each pays to invest, their investment knowledge and experience, and the access each has to important investment research.
As with our individual retail clients we understand that each institution has its own investment goals, risk tolerance and regulatory requirements. Our team of institutional investment experts works closely with you to design customized investment strategies tailored to your specific needs. We conduct in-depth analysis, evaluate market opportunities and develop strategies that align with your long-term objectives.
Over the more recent years – an important factor in Blue Rock Capital’s decision to relocate our Head Office to Hong Kong and open our doors to the retail client for the very first time was a number of key restrictions being removed allowing us to provide the equal access to what was previously considered institutional only products.
