Are buy-side client and institutional clients same?

Well?

I wouldnt make this comparison. A buy side client could be an insitution. What section are you referring to?

Buy side research in equity?

ok I think I was not sure what I was thinking… Its in Ethics…

Sell-side analysts can be pressured by buy-side analysts. then it goes on talking about institutional clients and I got confused…

Thanks you cleared it up…
