Institutional Investor

An institutional investor is an organization that professionally invests large sums of money on behalf of its members or clients. Institutional investors include pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, mutual funds, and hedge funds. In private equity and venture capital, institutional investors provide the bulk of capital in funds managed by investment firms, investing in early stage companies or more mature private companies. Institutional investors bring large amounts of capital and enable private equity and venture capital firms to make bigger investments.
