FINRA regulatory disclosures that are required on company research reports note whether an investment bank has received compensation in the last twelve months from the company that is based upon investment banking transactions. Those companies that have paid investment banking fees are commonly referred to as "investment banking clients" of the investment bank because it would reasonably hope for repeat banking business from these companies. The term "investment banking client," as used on this blog, includes but is not limited to companies that are put on a 'Restricted List' at an investment bank such as Rodman because of an active investment banking transaction.
