A retail investor is an individual investor who buys and sells securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, for their own personal investment purposes. Retail investors typically invest their personal savings or discretionary income and are not classified as professional or institutional investors. They may make investment decisions independently or seek guidance from financial advisors or brokers. Retail investors generally have smaller investment portfolios compared to institutional investors and play an important role in the financial markets by contributing to liquidity and market participation.
