Who are institutional investors?

Institutional investors are generally considered to be professional investment firms
with more than $50 million in assets under management. This includes certain banks,
insurance companies, investment advisers, investment companies, mutual fund
companies, foundations and pension funds. Institutional investors have staggering
amounts of capital under their control which allows them, as a group, to dictate the
direction and the pace of the capital markets.

Due to the large volume of shares involved, institutional trading can significantly
affect the price movement of a stock. If traders believe that selling is stemming from
a large institutional investor, they will react differently than if they believe the
selling is coming from a small institution or retail selling. I-Watch commentary often
indicates the size of the institutions participating in trading so retail investors can
anticipate market reactions.
