Types of Investors

Investors are broadly devided into two types :--

a) Retail Investors or Individual Investors - Individual investors who buy and sell securities for their personal account, and not for another company or organization

b) Instutional investors : A non-bank person or organization that trades securities in large enough share quantities or dollar amounts that they qualify for preferential treatment and lower commissions. Institutional investors face fewer protective regulations because it is assumed that they are more knowledgeable and better able to protect themselves.
