The investment banking market is made up of two sides – the buy-buy-sideside, and the sell-side, both of which are responsible for researching and assessing stocks and other investments. The buy-side refers to advising institutions concerned with buying investment services. These buy-side entities most often include private equity funds, mutual funds, unit trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, hedge funds, and proprietary traders.
