Institutional Ownership Concentration and Informational Efficiency 1: University of Hong Kong; 2: University of Toronto; 3: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology This work studies how the concentration of ownership among institutional investors influences price informativeness in financial markets. We find that an increase in institutional ownership concentration — whether measured by investors’ assets under management (AUM) or their firm-level holdings — reduces price informativeness as well as investment-to-price sensitivity. This negative effect is attributed to the learning and trading decisions of active, rather than passive, investors. To establish causality, we utilize a setting involving mergers between active investors, and our results remain consistent across both U.S. and international contexts.
