Who we are

Buy Side Research Club is a collective of former buy-side professionals with deep experience at top asset managers. Our mission is to uncover small-cap stocks that are under-covered and potentially mispriced.

We focus our research on areas where we have historical domain expertise, where we identify unique and under-the-radar opportunities, and where we believe our work can offer differentiated insight. We provide company-sponsored equity research (paid for by the issuer) to support broad-based investor education.

Our goal is to maximize distribution — reaching institutional investors and others who may not have access to professional terminals.

Our process is rooted in over a decade of institutional investing experience at leading alternative asset managers such as Citadel and Millennium, as well as nearly a decade of sell-side experience at firms including FBR, Dahlman Rose & Co., and Johnson Rice & Co.

We’re not chasing headlines — we’re focused on fundamentals. Our goal is to deliver balanced, high-quality research with the same level of rigor you’d expect from a top-tier fund.

Conflicts of Interest:

At BuySideResearch.Club, maintaining integrity and trust in our research process is paramount. We recognize that conflicts of interest are inherent in equity research. We are committed to providing full and fair disclosure. With Company Sponsored Research, you should be aware that the Corporation pays us a fee to provide this service. However, the company does not have the ability to review or dictate our analysis. We do not provide investment banking services or get paid for corporate access services.

To manage these conflicts responsibly:

  • Full Transparency: We disclose any material financial interests related to companies we cover when relevant. We disclose conflicts of interest such as compensation for research or positions in the company.

  • Our Opinion: We do not allow the company to review the research before it is published.

  • Process-Driven: All research follows a structured 10-step framework to ensure consistency, objectivity, and analytical rigor, regardless of contributor bias or market sentiment.

  • Position Disclosure: When contributors hold positions in a stock discussed, we clearly note it in the research or publication.

We believe that rigorous transparency, a disciplined process, and clear communication are the foundation for research that earns trust.
