Definition:
Research individuals provide high-quality analysis for the financial and business community. The analyses available covers companies, sectors, financial markets, asset allocation services, and macroeconomic research. Research professionals are known most generally as "analysts", "research analysts", or "securities analysts"; all the foregoing terms are synonymous. Securities analysts are commonly divided between the two basic kinds of securities: equity analysts (researching stocks and their issuers) and fixed income analysts (researching bond issuers). However, there are some analysts who cover all of the securities of a particular issuer, stocks and bonds alike.
