Equity Research in LA?

Hi everyone, Do sell-side equity research positions exist in Los Angeles? I've been mainly concerned with looking for a job in HK or NY, but lately I've been contemplating staying in LA.

I've got the impression that the investment banks don't have equity research departments in LA (since I'd imagine not many S&T depts exist here either). Thanks for the input!
