In so doing\, it provides new evidence about the d rivers of institutional investor growth in equity ownership over the past two decades. Contrary to conventional narrative\, we find that equity capi tal flows into the “Big Three” investment managers have slowed in recent y ears\, with substantial differences between each institution. We also pres ent a framework to understand how fund characteristics and corporate actio ns such as stock buybacks and equity issuances combine to shape the evolut ion of institutional ownership\, including that of the Big Three. Our evid ence reveals why certain institutions win and lose in the contest for flow s and implicates important legal conversations including the impact of sto ck buybacks\, mergers between investment managers\, and the governance ris ks presented by the rise of index investing.\n DTSTART:20240412T143000Z DTEND:20240412T154500Z LOCATION:Room 340\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Desmarais Global Finance Research Centre (DGFRC) Seminar URL:/desautels/channels/event/desmarais-global-finance -research-centre-dgfrc-seminar-356662 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
