What exactly is a foreign institutional investor?
Foreign institutional investors are the full version of FII. They are organisations formed or registered outside of India that make investment offers in India. Such offerings are often made on behalf of sub-accounts by overseas institutional investors, which can contain international businesses, individuals, and funds.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has authorised banks to communicate with FII to function as bankers to them. The most popular approach for FIIs to invest in is through the issuance of participatory notes (p- notes), which are also termed offshore derivatives.

Foreign institutional investment is most concentrated in emerging economies. These nations provide investors with higher expansion plans than established economies. To engage in the market, all FIIs must register with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
