He said despite being ultimately owned by pension fund members, who have a long-term investment horizon, companies feel under constant and immediate pressure to perform.
1/ What is the meaning of horizon in this context?
2/ Is feel under constant an expression? If yes, what does it mean?
If not, what is the nature of under? (adverb or sth else?)
If not, what is the meaning of under?
It is sure that constant is an adjective. So, what does it mean here?
3/ What is the meaning of perform here?
4/ Does immediate here mean instant or existing now and needing urgent attetion ?
5/ Does pressure here mean urgency (as in he works well under pressure) or harassment (as in the pressures of daily life)?
