Abstract

In the domain of company law within emerging markets, the roles and regulatory considerations for domestic and foreign institutional investors present dynamic challenges and opportunities. Domestic institutional investors, comprising entities like pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies, navigate the regulatory frameworks of their home countries. These regulations often emphasize investor protection, market integrity, and financial stability. In contrast, foreign institutional investors operate across borders and must navigate the legal intricacies of emerging markets. Their involvement is subject to host-country regulations, encompassing compliance with local company laws, disclosure requirements, and corporate governance standards. Striking a balance between attracting foreign investment and safeguarding domestic interests remains a focal point in emerging market company law. The legal landscape shapes the dynamics of corporate governance, decision-making processes, and the protection of investor rights. As emerging markets evolve, the interplay between domestic and foreign institutional investors within the framework of company law plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of these markets and fostering a regulatory environment conducive to sustainable economic growth.
