Resumo
Using 3,057 observations from 2000 to 2012, we found the risk of expropriation of minority
shareholders by controlling shareholders is positively associated with participation of
institutional investors in equity funding. There is no evidence that these investors increase the
likelihood of substituting the chief executive officer or increase the company’s value or its
financial performance. However, the presence of institutional investors is associated with higher
company debt. This study suggests that institutional investors assume a function not fully
explained by agency theory, such as enabling greater access to debt markets, but accentuate the
agency conflict between controlling and minority shareholders. The main results show that the
presence of institutional investors mitigates agency conflicts between shareholders and
creditors, but increases the risk of expropriation of minority shareholders.
