  ABSTRACT: This study investigates the impact of Institutional Ownership on Cost of Capital. A panel data of 200 companies fromFORBES Global 2000 Leading Companies between 2010 and 2019 were used. The ordinary least square multiple regression analysis technique is used to examine the relationships. The findings are robust to alternative measures and endogeneities. The results show that institutional ownership is statistically positively related to cost of capital. This study extends, as well as contributes to the extant corporate governance literature by offering new evidence on the effect of institutional ownership on cost of capital. The findings will help regulators and policy-makers in evaluating the adequacy of the current corporate governance reforms to prevent management misconduct and scandals.
