Goldman has produced 50% more buyside analysts than the runner-up, JPMorgan. It's also notable that Goldman has a much smaller overall employee headcount than JPMorgan.
To recap, hedge fund analysts typically research companies or trade ideas and hand on their research to hedge fund portfolio managers, who ultimately decide whether to make a trade.

Just last month, Barclays put out a big report detailing a shift taking place with more talent being drawn to Silicon Valley and banks decreasing the size of their capital markets and sales and trading classes.
