00:00:03.770 --> 00:00:05.990 align:middle line:84%
What's the difference
between institutional and

00:00:05.990 --> 00:00:08.330 align:middle line:90%
non-institutional investors?

00:00:08.330 --> 00:00:11.030 align:middle line:84%
Institutional investors are
the big guys on the block.

00:00:11.030 --> 00:00:13.790 align:middle line:84%
They are the elephants, they're
the pension funds, hedge funds,

00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:16.280 align:middle line:84%
investment banks, and
other large institutions

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.110 align:middle line:84%
that account for half
of the trading volume

00:00:18.110 --> 00:00:19.850 align:middle line:90%
on the New York Stock Exchange.

00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:21.602 align:middle line:84%
They buy and sell
large blocks of shares

00:00:21.602 --> 00:00:23.810 align:middle line:84%
and have a tremendous
influence on the stock market's

00:00:23.810 --> 00:00:25.040 align:middle line:90%
movements.

00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.660 align:middle line:84%
Since institutional
investors are

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:28.310 align:middle line:84%
supposed to be
more savvy and less

00:00:28.310 --> 00:00:30.500 align:middle line:84%
likely to make
uneducated investments,

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:32.930 align:middle line:84%
they're subject to
fewer SEC regulations

00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:34.640 align:middle line:90%
than the everyday investor.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.290 align:middle line:84%
The money they invest
usually belongs

00:00:36.290 --> 00:00:39.080 align:middle line:84%
to someone or something
else, such as a pension

00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:40.940 align:middle line:90%
plan or a mutual fund.

00:00:40.940 --> 00:00:43.590 align:middle line:84%
Non-institutional investors
are everyone else.

00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:45.380 align:middle line:84%
They're your everyday
typical investors

00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:48.080 align:middle line:84%
who buy and sell debt and
equity through a broker.

00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:49.580 align:middle line:84%
They manage their
own investments

00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:53.800 align:middle line:84%
usually to plan for retirement
or to make a large purchase.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:59.000 align:middle line:90%
