IB Research vs Wealth Management Research

What is the difference between Research in the Investment Bank and Research in the Wealth Management Division. I know that they serve different clients, but are the valuations and the content within the report generally the same, or really similar? (BB-wise)

Having done Wealth Management Research- I can tell you that your coverage universe is gonna be a lot larger on the buy-side. That'll give you a lot more flexibility as to who you're going to cover.

 

I'd always been told that buy-side research is the goal. Thoughts?
