Buy side
All > Business > Finance > Personal Finance
Institutional money managers, such as mutual funds, pension funds, and endowments, are the buy side of Wall Street.
Buy-side institutions use proprietary research to make investments for the portfolios they manage and don't interact with or make recommendations to individual investors.
In contrast, sell-side institutions such as brokerage firms act as agents for individual investors when they buy and sell securities, and make their research available to their clients.
