What the fuck is the difference between asset management and equity research at the analyst level?

For example, at GS there is Global Investment Research (equity research .... ?) and within AM there is the "fundamental equity team" that "conducts original, bottom-up research across a broad range of capitalizations and styles, spanning global developed and emerging markets. This team utilizes growth equity, value equity, global equity and real estate securities strategies.
