The Rise of Buy-Side Research in Modern Investing

The Rise of Buy-Side Research in Modern Investing By: Dhanita Arora  August 27, 2026 Share:        Investment decisions today rest on more than gut instinct or a broker’s tip sheet. Asset managers, hedge funds, and institutional investors are increasingly building their own research capabilities rather than relying solely on external providers. This shift has a name: buy-side research. Unlike research produced to sell trading ideas, it is built for one purpose, to support the decisions of the very firm producing it. Regulatory changes such as MiFID II, tighter cost scrutiny, and a growing demand for differentiated insight have all pushed investors toward this model. As markets grow more complex, the practice is no longer a back-office function. It has become a competitive necessity for firms that want conviction, not consensus.

How Venture Capital Due Diligence Is Adapting to a Faster, AI-Heavy Deal Market By: Aman Agrawal  August 24, 2026 Share:        Global venture funding climbed to $425 billion in 2025, roughly 30 percent higher than 2024 and the third-largest year on record, even as the number of completed deals fell by close to 15 percent. Capital is concentrating in fewer, larger, faster-moving rounds, and AI-focused companies alone captured well over half of that total. Ten funding rounds attracted more than $2 billion each in just the first quarter of 2026. For a due diligence team, that combination is uncomfortable: less time per deal, bigger checks at stake, and a wave of fast-scaling companies that don’t fit the diligence playbooks built for slower-moving markets.

Investment Management Services That Grow Smarter with You By: Prabhash Choudhary  August 20, 2026 Share:        Money left untouched rarely grows on its own. It needs direction, discipline, and a strategy that evolves as markets shift and life circumstances change. That is precisely where Investment Management Services come in. They combine research, risk assessment, and ongoing portfolio oversight to help individuals and institutions build wealth with intention rather than guesswork. Global assets under management crossed $147 trillion in 2025, a sign that more investors than ever are choosing professional guidance over a do-it-yourself approach. However, not all services are built the same way. Some providers still rely on static, one-size-fits-all models, while others are moving toward strategies that respond in real time to changing conditions.
