This study investigates the change of institutional holdings around the seasoned equity offerings. Based on a sample of 139 seasonal equity offerings from 1998 to 2005 in Taiwan, this study examines the relationship between institutional investment and post-issue performance. The empirical results show that especially for larger and high liquidity firms, the SEO issuers with experiencing the greatest increase in institutional investment around the offer date outperformed their benchmark portfolios in the year following the issue by a statistically significant margin relative to those experiencing the greatest decrease in institutional investment. In addition, by reviewing performance of stock foreign investors, investment trust companies and dealer, I find that domestic institutional investors’ performance is better than foreign institutional investors’ performance. Finally, there is non-relationship between institutional investment and analysts’ earning forecast. The reason is that institutional investor have own professional team to provide information and make the best choice.
