Content marketing is a critical element of not only investor relations but is good strategic advice for any company looking to expand their audience, establish authority and consistently set the bar high for your competitors.

Buy-Side & Sell-Side Analyst Relations

Analysts that cover public companies can be divided into two groups: buy-side and sell-side. The vast majority of analysts are employed by banks and other financial institutions that make markets in stocks (the “sell side”), but there is a growing number of independent firms (“buy side”) that manage money on behalf of pension funds, endowments, and other large investors.

The sell-side is further subdivided into two investing groups: the institutional sales force, whose responsibility includes marketing the firm’s research to big investment firms; and the retail sales force, which sells to smaller investors through brokerages. There is a lot of overlap between these two groups, but they tend to have different perspectives on the market.

The buy-side is also subdivided into two groups: the “active” money managers who trade frequently and try to beat the market; and the “passive” managers who invest in index funds or other strategies that track the market. There is a lot of overlap between these two groups, but each person tends to have different perspectives on the market.

Futurist Society has significant experience working with the sell-side and buy-side analyst community. We work with clients to develop relationships with key analysts, and we provide ongoing support for your company to ensure that these relationships are maintained.
