The State of the Buy Side: Innovation Is the Name of the Game in 2007

Product Type: Market Research Report

Product Code: R301-1281
Description
Like a manufacturing industry, the securities industry has raw materials (securities created and sold by broker-dealers), finished goods (investment portfolios designed and managed by investment managers), and distributors (people or organizations that sell the finished goods). Innovation from the middle, where investment managers reside, ripples throughout the industry, forcing broker-dealers to create new securities and services and adding to the complexity of the products that brokers and advisers must sell. This TowerGroup Research Note focuses on the current state of the buy side, the segmentation of buy-side assets, and recent and anticipated product growth trends.
