Institutional Investors

Japanese: 機関投資家 - きかんとうしか

An organization that invests in securities other than individual investors. Specifically, it refers to a company that manages funds entrusted to it by others, such as life insurance, pensions, and investment trusts. They have greater influence than individual investors in terms of the amount of funds, information, and methods they use, and they invest in bonds, foreign exchange, and other things in addition to securities. Their investment periods are also relatively longer than those of individual investors. Institutional investors often engage in similar investment behavior in a given situation, which often makes it easier for the market to veer in one direction or fall into a stalemate.

Japanese:

個人投資家以外の証券投資を行っている団体。具体的には、生命保険や年金、投資信託など、他人から委託された資金を運用している企業を指す。個人投資家よりも資金量や情報量、手法などの点で大きな力を持ち、証券以外にも債券や外国為替などにも投資する。運用期間も個人投資家よりも相対的に長い。機関投資家は、ある局面で同じような投資行動をすることが多いために、市場が一方向に触れやすくなったり、こう着状態に陥りやすくなることが多い。
