When I look at filings, I sometimes see a major institution buying or selling 1mil shares on a single company in one day. However, when I analyze the minute-by-minute order fulfilment, it's clear that these 1mil shares are not bought/sold at once. Doing so would have bid the prices up/down considerably. They buy/sell little by little throughout the day.
My question then becomes...do institutions handle this buying/selling themselves? Or they get a broker to do it? Would it require some special skill to offload a large amount of shares without tanking the price?
Would appreciate some clarity as to how these large institutions go about doing their buying and selling.
