Investopedia explains 'Institutional Shares'

Institutions, such as large money managers, often buy a significant number of shares in mutual funds at any one time. Buyers of big blocks of mutual fund shares expect, and often receive, a break on commission charges. Because of the large investments required to receive these breaks, individual investors typically cannot afford these shares.
