Roleset id: herd.01 , put into a group, vncls: 47.5.2, framnet:

herd.01: I think that sentence is misparsed, too; it's not that the institutions are causing some animals to group together, but that institutions are animals that cause something else (customers? investors?) to group together.

Roles:

        Arg0: agent, entity causing some grouping (vnrole: 47.5.2-Agent)
        Arg1: theme, thing being included in some group (vnrole: 47.5.2-Theme)
        Arg2: group

Example: uninteresting transitive

        person: ns,  tense: present,  aspect: progressive,  voice: active,  form: participle
