Abstract

In this paper, we examine the impact of ownership level of different institutional investors on the dividend policy of the Indian firms, publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange of India from 2010 to 2019. We focus on the heterogeneous characteristics of various institutional investors and examine the way they impact the dividend policy of the firms. Further, we also examine how the affiliation to a group impacts the relationship between different shareholders and dividend payout and provide evidence for the moderation effect of group-affiliation status of firms such that the monitoring role of the institutional investors is subsided in the member firms of a group. We provide empirical justification for the association between different categories of institutional shareholders and dividend policy, while highlighting the role of group affiliation on the hypothesised relation.
