By and large, though, the banks never went to great lengths to advertise the availability and value of the research to customers-like, say, Charles Schwab does. That's partly because most customers at firms such as Merrill Lynch deal with intermediaries like brokers. Still, "while the retail investor may not have been accessing that research directly, investment professionals were consuming it and then presenting it to their clients," says...
