Institutional Investors in Global Market provides you with a comprehensive overview about what institutional investors do, how they do it, and when and where they do it; it is about the production of investment returns in the global economy. Being a book about the production process, you learn about key issues found in the academic literature on the theory of the firm. In this case, the focus is on the global financial services industry, where the building blocks underpinning the study of industrial corporations are less relevant. You gain an understanding of how and why the production of investment returns differs from that of manufactured goods. You are provided with an analytical framework that situates financial institutions within the complex web of the intermediaries that dominate developed financial markets. In summary, you gain further insights into analysis of the organization and management of institutional investors; as well as an analysis of the global financial services industry.

The demand pressure and the plethora of evidences observed in the form of increasing infrastructure financing gap, ageing infrastructure, environmental factors, such as climate change and rising quality standards are factors attracting institutional and private sector participation in infrastructure investment. Therefore, the search for innovative means of financing infrastructure has become incessant. Also, the features of the financial landscape, especially in a financial crisis has further underpinned the significance of looking beyond the present infrastructure need, to a more sustained infrastructure financing scheme anticipated from institutional investors. A well established capital market has therefore been identified as a viable option for long term and steady global capital flows to financing infrastructure projects; else, the burden will remain on governments to offer direct or indirect support to private investors in attracting financing for infrastructure development. This book therefore conceptually investigates the potentials of the capital market and institutional investors’ capital flows in bridging the global infrastructure funding gap. A fundamental conclusion from the book revealed that institutional investors particularly pension funds have the capacity to pool enormous resources into the infrastructure market, thus emphatically projecting them as a force to be reckoned with in the global infrastructure investments.

Since the 1990s, one of the major forces changing the face and structure of international capital markets has been the flow of cross-border portfolio investments, especially by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) from developed countries to the developing economies. Portfolio investors provide institutional character to the capital markets, flavored by highly intensive research and diversified investments. FIIs are specialized financial intermediaries managing savings collectively on behalf of investors, especially small investors, towards specific objectives in terms of risks, returns, and maturity of claims. FIIs make investments in various countries to provide a measure of portfolio diversification and hedging to their assets. The forces driving the recent change in the investment portfolio of FIIs - as reflected in the growing emphasis on equities of emerging market economies - include, inter alia: (a) increased accessibility of these markets after liberalization, (b) improved marketability, (c) fewer problems relating to thin trading, and (d) improved macroeconomic fundamentals of recipient countries. This book provides a detailed account and examination of various dimensions, determinants, deterrents, and other aspects of investment flows into India through FIIs.
