I work on buyside (family office, allocator) and i can honestly say i dont read the majority of research I am sent by our coverage at those asset managers.

HOWEVER, PGIM (prudential) fixed income is top notch. Blackrock is solid too. 

Reading PGIM's weekly note from their fixed income desk pretty much covers everything + hedgeye/darius' new shop for macro.
