Institutional investor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Roman law ignored the concept of juristic person, yet at the time the practice of private evergetism (which dates to, at least, the 4th century BC in Greece) sometimes led to the creation of revenues- producing capital which may be interpreted as an early form of charitable institution. In some African colonies in particular, part of the city's entertainment was financed by the revenue generated by shops and baking- ovens originally offered by a wealthy benefactor.[1] In the South of Gaul, aqueducts were sometimes financed in a similar fashion.[2]The legal principle of juristic person might have appeared with the rise of monasteries in the early centuries of Christianity.

AD are amongst the longest standing charities in the world (see for instance the Imam Reza shrine). Pre- industrial Europe[edit]Following the spread of monasteries, almhouses and other hospitals, donating sometimes large sums of money to institutions became a common practice in medieval Western Europe.

Their greater ability to influence corporate behaviour as well to select investors profiles may help diminish agency costs.

Unlike individuals, they do not have a phase of accumulation (active work life) followed by one of consumption (retirement), and they do not die.
