nstitutional investors hold a commanding 60% stake in Axis Real Estate Investment Trust, making them the most influential group. This concentration of ownership can either amplify their gains or losses, as they have significant resources and liquidity at their disposal. As such, institutional decisions often carry considerable weight among individual investors.

    A closer look at the company's shareholder composition reveals a diverse range of owners, with Employees Provident Fund of Malaysia being the largest shareholder, holding 18% of outstanding shares. Hedge funds, on the other hand, have limited exposure to Axis Real Estate Investment Trust.

    The presence of multiple institutional investors can sometimes lead to a 'crowded trade', where a collective sell-off can exacerbate losses if the stock performs poorly. This risk is particularly pronounced in companies without a history of growth, such as Axis Real Estate Investment Trust.
