Fixed Income Research

Anybody have an opinion on fixed income research( in particularly high yield research) versus equity sell-side research? Similar skillset I am assuming is involved perhaps with more of an analysis focused on spreads, ratio coverage, etc in fixed income.

Do you cover more or a similar amount of companies compared to equity research analyst and how in-depth is the analysis? Exit ops I am assuming would be distressed debt funds?

Any input would be appreciated.

I haven’t worked in this exact field, but I’m pretty sure you coverage is more focused on the equity side.
