These results indicate that there are different agency problems in different ownership level of foreign investors. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides a new perspective and empirical evidence that the relationship between agency problems and foreign share ownership is not static. Practitioner/Policy implication: This study analyzes the effect of the composition of foreign investors on the allocation of corporate funds by investigating capital asset investment and current asset investment interactions. This research contributes to the firm's ability to control its own goals. Research limitation/Implication: This research has not considered the company's risk characteristics related to the type of industry. For further research development, it is necessary to consider the company's risk characteristics to enhance the analysis.
