"When the President proposed ending the double tax on dividends, many critics charged that such a policy would not increase corporate investment.[1] These critics argued that since large institutional investors, such as tax-exempt pension and mutual fund companies, hold large percentages of corporate stock, dividend tax relief would be unlikely to increase corporate investment.[2] However, these arguments ignore the fact that even institutional investors pass on corporate profits to individual investors. Furthermore, a close examination of the data strongly suggests that most corporate equity is not held by large tax-exempt investors, leaving the critics to search for another reason to oppose the President's plan. Institutional investors do own about 66 percent of the outstanding shares of the S&P 500 companies.[3] This high percentage of institutional ownership, however, obscures several important facts. To begin, all shares held by institutions are held with the purpose of earning a profit for the institutions' individual investors, individuals who are likely to pay taxes. Additionally, focusing only on the S&P 500, rather than all publicly traded companies, makes the overall percentage of institutional ownership seem much higher than it really is."
