Stock market investors are very different. For listed SMEs the retail segment is very important as they both bring some of the needed growth capital to the table, but also a large part of the liquidity in the stock. The institutional investors are also very important in this segment. As the company grows the need for raising increasing amounts of capital quite often increases as well - here the institutional investors play an important part. But what do they look for? and what do they look up for?
