NW: I'm not sure I understand your question - especially the term "institutional investment funds". In the UK the equivalent of a US Mutual Fund is a Unit Trust. In the UK they have notoriously high fees for entering and leaving and ongoing management. These Unit Trusts define their own objectives - just as in the US. They can go for growth or income in whatever way they want. A better alternative in the UK are what are called Investment Trusts. These have lower fees. I used to know what the legal difference was between them, but I cannot even remember where I put my cup of tea this morning. It may be that they are not governed by the same regulations.

In addition to these vehicles, there are very large pension funds and insurance companies and other types of funds. Their bias is towards "blue chips" and most blue chips, by definiton, pay a dividend.
