This study investigates whether institutional investors increase or decrease the volatility of stock returns in the Thai stock market. For the purpose we used the data from SETSMART, a database provided by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). Our sample is a balanced panel data covering 3,160 firm-year observations from 316 nonfinancial firms listed on the SET from 2011 to 2020. We analyze the link between institutional holdings and the volatility of stock returns by the pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, the fixed effects model, and the random-effects model. In particular, we regress the stock return volatility on institutional ownership while controlling for firm size, financial leverage, growth opportunities, and stock turnover and accounting for industry effects and year effects. Our results indicate institutional investors' positive and significant influence on the volatility of the stock returns. Additionally, we performed the dynamic Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator to alleviate concerns of possible endogeneity. The result still shows a positive impact of institutional investors on the volatility in stock returns. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that an increase in the volatility of stock returns in the Thai stock market may stem from a higher proportion of equity held by the institutional investors.

This study examines the relationship between institutional investors' shareholder activism and their performance, focusing particularly on the adoption of stewardship codes. The stewardship code includes guidelines for institutional investors to effectively fulfill the role of trustees and strengthen relationships with investee companies, with core elements such as enhancing shareholder rights. By analyzing the performance of institutional investors following the introduction of stewardship codes, this study aims increase understanding of the motivations behind institutional investors' active shareholder activism and the importance of stewardship codes. The study analyzes the relationship between the introduction of stewardship codes and the fidelity of voting rights exercised by asset management companies. According to the analysis, asset management companies that have adopted stewardship codes demonstrate higher performance compared to those that have not, particularly in terms of ROA performance. The result suggests a positive effect of stewardship adoption.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of foreign and institutional investors in the pharmaceutical industry on R&D investments. Methods : The empirical analysis was done for the years 2009 to 2013 which examined the period after the influence of the financial crisis. Financial statements and comments in general and internal transactions were extracted from the TS-2000 of the Korea Listed Company Association. STATA 12.0 was used as the statistical package for the panel analysis. Results : The results show that the shareholding ratio of foreigner investors turned out to have a statistically significant influence on R&D investment. No statistical significance was found in the shareholding ratio of institutional investors. Conclusions : The findings of this study, which indicate that a higher shareholding ratio of foreigner investors leads to greater R&D investment, indicate that foreign investors directly or indirectly impose pressure on a manager to make R&D investments for the long-term.

In this paper, we analyze the information asymmetry among investors in online trading environment using rumors which are collected in the Korean stock market for the eleven-year period between January 2004 and December 2014. We find that cumulative abnormal return of sample firms is negative and statistically significant, indicating that a significant fall of the stock price starts before the online disclosure, suggesting that the rumors were reflected in the stock price to a significant extent. Furthermore, individual investors show net purchases on firms prior to disclosure while institutional investors show net sales, showing that individual investors trade unfavorably vis-$\grave{a}$-vis institutional investors. This phenomenon is more evident for the KOSDAQ. This result confirms that the information asymmetry exists between individual and institutional investors in online trading environment.

기관투자자들의 군집행동에 대해서는 다양한 연구들이 이루어져 왔으나 기관투자자를 구성하는 여러 투자자들 간의 거래행태의 관계에 대하여는 그 연구가 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2009년 한국거래소의 일중거래자료를 바탕으로 기관투자자를 구성하는 은행, 보험, 증권, 연기금 등과 같은 세부 투자자 유형의 거래행태에 있어서 어떠한 관계가 있는지 살펴보았다. 그 결과 외국인, 개인, 그리고 증권 투자자의 경우 대체로 연기금을 비롯한 나머지 투자자 유형과는 주로 반대거래를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 연기금, 보험, 자산운용, 사모펀드, 기타법인 및 국가, 은행 등은 서로간 교차추종을 하고 있어 군집행동의 증거가 관찰되었다. 특히 연기금과 보험은 오랜 기간 서로 교차추종거래를 하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 2009년의 경우 증권을 제외한 기관투자자들은 짧은 추종시차에서 군집행동을, 보험과 자산운용, 연기금 및 기타법인의 경우 군집행동과 자기추종의 가능성이 추종시차에 관계없이 높게 나타났으며, 외국인에 대한 추종 및 군집행동의 증거는 확인할 수 없었다.

본 연구에서는 2001년 1월부터 2010년 3월까지 한국증권시장에 상장된 365개 표본기업을 대상으로 기업의 소유구조가 주식수익률에 미치는 영향을 패널자료 분석방법을 이용하여 종합적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석결과, 주가수익률에 유의한 영향을 미치는 기업의 소유구조 변수는 기관투자자 지분율, 외국인 지분율인 것으로 나타났다. 기관투자자 지분율은 주식수익률과 양(+)의 유의한 영향을, 외국인지분율은 음(-)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 기관투자자들이 경영자를 효율적으로 감시 통제함으로써 대리인비용을 감소시켜 주식수익률을 높인 것으로 볼 수 있다. 한편 외국인투자자들은 기관투자자들과 달리 효율적 감시 통제를 하지 못하는 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서 제시된 통제변수와 관련하여 기업규모가 커질수록, 장부가치/시장가치비율이 낮을수록, 순이익/주가비율이 높을수록 주식수익률이 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다.

Feedback herding strategy in stock market means considering other investor's strategy as a basis of market forecasting of next term. Generally, individual investors use that strategy which mimics the strategy of institutional investors. When it is used in stock market, both kind of investors, preceders and followers, can take the higher average of rate of return to normal market in which no feedback herding strategy is not use, the more investors take part in. And variance of return, the risk of investment, are same to both group.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to find out the impact of ownership structure on firm performance in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry of Bangladesh. Research design, data and methodology: The study has been conducted on 28 listed pharmaceutical and chemical companies from 2012 to 2020. Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q are selected as indicators of internal and market performance of the firms respectively whereas institutional ownership, directors' ownership and foreign ownership are selected as proxies of ownership structure. Panel analysis using random effects, lag method and time dummy method is used to analyse the relationship. Results: The study has found the existence of highly concentrated directors' ownership, a low percentage of institutional ownership and a very insignificant proportion of foreign ownership in the industry. The regression results show that directors' ownership has a positive and significant impact on firm performance, supporting the concept of agency theory. The study has also found a positive and significant impact of foreign ownership on firm performance. Unfortunately, the impact of institutional ownership is found to be insignificant. Conclusions: Directors' ownership and foreign ownership decreases agency cost that ultimately increases firm performance. However, the role of institutional investors is not significant enough to improve firm performance. It is suggested that institutional investors should be more active and involved in monitoring the activities of the organisations to improve performance.
