nstitutions hold a significant majority of KKR Real Estate Finance Trust's shares, with 62% ownership. This gives them substantial influence over the company's share price and potential for upside or downside risk. Institutional investors often invest in larger companies included in benchmark indexes, but KKR Real Estate Finance Trust already has institutions on its registry, indicating credibility in the investment community.

    However, relying solely on institutional validation can be risky, as they too make mistakes. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's a chance of a 'crowded trade,' which can lead to a rapid sell-off if the trade goes wrong. KKR Real Estate Finance Trust has no history of growth, increasing this risk.
