regarding prices, products and market conditions. Brokers may represent either the seller (90 percent of the time) or the buyer (10 percent) but not both at the same time. An example would be a stockbroker, who makes the sale or purchase of securities on behalf of his client. Brokers play a huge role in the sale of stocks, bonds and other financial services. There are advantages to using a broker. First, they know their market and have already established relations with prospective accounts. Brokers have the tools and resources to reach the largest possible base of buyers. They then screen these potential buyers for revenue that would support the potential acquisition. An individual producer, on the other hand, especially one new in the market, probably will not have the same access to customers as a broker.

CONSULTANT
An advisor who helps investors with their longterm investment planning. An investment consultant, unlike a broker, does more in-depth work on formulating clients' investment strategies, helping them fulfil their needs and goals. The idea behind an investment consultant is that

PORTFOLIO MANAGER
A portfolio manager can be a single individual, but is more
likely, especially at larger companies, to be a team of leaders that meets regularly to monitor ongoing projects and programs, and vet new ones. As the relatively new concept of portfolio management gains interest, companies may bring in consultants to help set up and train individuals on the art and science of portfolio management. As with a financial portfolio, one goal of portfolio management is balance : riskier projects or programs can be offset with more sure-to-succeed programs undertaken at the same time, so that the company's overall risk remains manageable.
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS
Institutional investors are organizations which pool large sums of
money and invest those sums in securities, real property and other investment assets. They can also include operating companies which decide to invest their profits to some degree in these types of assets. Types of typical investors include banks, insurance companies, retirement or pension funds, hedge funds, investment advisors and mutual funds. Their role in the economy is to act as highly specialized investors on behalf of others. For instance, an ordinary person will have a pension from his employer. The employer gives that person's pension contributions to a fund. The fund will buy shares in a company, or some other financial product. Funds are useful because they will hold a broad portfolio of investments in many companies. This spreads risk, so if one company fails, it will be only a small part of the whole fund's investment
