Buy Side (Suppliers)
A buy-side component of a free-market economy's financial institutions comprises enterprises that acquire investment securities. Insurance companies, mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension funds are examples of companies that develop securities for their accounts or investors to profit. A corporation that engages in buy-side activities will acquire stocks, bonds, and other financial goods based on their company's or client's portfolio's needs and strategy. The buy-side activity occurs in various locations, not just the financial firms listed above. Trusts, equity funds, and high-net-worth people are also included. Buy-side investing aims to add value to a company's clients.
