Buy-Side

Buy-Side

The buy side contains all the money management firms - - mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds, and so forth - - which profit from buying and selling stocks. The buy side firms have their own stock and sector analysts, too, yet they are undeniably less public. They don't distribute reports or put out buy and sell proposals. They basically research for the portfolio managers inside their organizations.

Features

  • Common buy-side institutions incorporate hedge funds, pension funds, and mutual funds.
  • The sell-side is something contrary to the buy-side, giving just investment proposals and services to work with the purchasing of securities by the buy-side.
