Abstract

[fre] Cet article traite du comportement des investisseurs américains. Il montre que les environnements institutionnels et légaux ont une influence certaine sur les comportements de placement. Quand les investisseurs ne font face qu’à une obligation de moyens, ils ont une politique de placement active caractérisée par : -un «turn over» rapide des titres en portefeuille ; -une politique d’investissement qui varie selon le potentiel de croissance attendue du secteur d’activité considéré. En particulier, nous avons pu noter que, dans les secteurs présentant de faibles perspectives de croissance, ces investisseurs institutionnels possèdent des parts de capital élevées et concentrées qui leur permettent, par action sur les équipes dirigeantes, de s’accaparer une part de la valeur présente par le biais de politiques de relution et de dividendes élevés. . Classification JEL : G32 [eng] International institutional investors : An analysis of US institutional investor behaviour . This article deals with the institutional investor behaviour. It demonstrates that institutional and legal environment has a strong influence on investors’ practices. When investors face to a mean’s obligation, they have an active investment policy characterised by : -a fast turn over of their stock’s portfolio -an investment policy which depends of sector’s future growth value. In particular we notice that, in sector which presents low future growth value, these institutional investors have important and concentrated blocks of stocks which allows them the possibility to pressure top firms management in order to capture present value by important flow of dividends and by repurchases stocks programs. . JEL classifications : G32 . .
