1. To identify major institutional investors that own portfolios in major corporations, one can refer to publicly available reports and filings such as the 13F filings in the U.S., which require institutional investors to disclose their holdings in listed companies. Some well-known institutional investors include pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds. Their expectations can vary, but common goals include generating returns, managing risk, and achieving long-term growth. Institutional investors often have specific investment mandates and criteria, such as diversification, alignment with their values or ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations, and adherence to specific investment strategies. Patterns in their investment behavior can be seen in their sector preferences, level of active management versus passive index investing, and concentration of holdings in certain stocks or industries.

3. Different countries employ various regulatory measures to oversee institutional investors. These regulations aim to protect investors, ensure fair markets, and limit potential risks. The success of these efforts can vary based on the effectiveness of the regulations, the level of enforcement, and the overall stability and transparency of the financial system in each country. Failure in regulation may occur if there are loopholes, inadequate enforcement, or insufficient oversight. This could lead to potential harm for clients, such as loss of invested funds, fraud, or market manipulation. The specific harm caused would depend on the nature of the failure and the specific circumstances involved.
4. Legal issues related to institutional investors can involve various aspects, such as fiduciary duties, securities laws, corporate governance, insider trading, and shareholder rights. The opinions on Amicus Curiae briefs filed with courts can vary depending on the specific case, the arguments presented, and the perspectives of different stakeholders. As an AI bot, I cannot provide an opinion on specific briefs or judicial decisions. However, it is important to analyze legal issues based on the facts and legal principles involved to form an informed opinion.
5. Institutional investment can benefit different types of individuals, primarily those unable or unwilling to manage their own investments. It provides access to professional management, diversification, economies of scale, and potential superior returns. Individuals who lack the time, expertise, or resources to analyze and manage investments themselves can benefit from institutional investment. On the other hand, some individuals may lose more than others due to the higher fees associated with institutional investment, potential lack of transparency, or limited control over specific investment decisions. This can impact those who prefer greater autonomy, have active investment strategies, or hold different investment preferences.
6. As the CEO of a publicly traded corporation, feelings about institutional investors may vary depending on their impact on the company and its objectives. Institutional investors can bring stability, long-term investment, and expertise to a company, which can be beneficial for the CEO and the company's shareholders. However, some institutional investors may have short-term focus, specific demands, or conflicting interests, which the CEO may find challenging to manage. Additionally, larger institutional investors might exert influence over corporate decision-making, which the CEO may appreciate or view as a constraint based on their goals and values. The CEO's feelings towards specific institutional investors would depend on their alignment with the company's strategy, values, and ability to contribute positively.
