Retail Investors

Retail investors are individual investors who purchase securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, for their personal accounts, rather than on behalf of an institution or organization. These investors typically trade in smaller amounts compared to institutional investors, such as hedge funds or pension funds. Retail investors often have less access to advanced trading tools and financial information than professional traders, and they generally make investment decisions based on personal research, advice from financial advisors, or recommendations from friends and family. Retail investors play a significant role in the financial markets, as their collective buying and selling activities can influence market trends and prices.
