Location is EXTREMELY important.
There are major investment firms in almost every large (and most mid-sized) urban areas.
Boston is traditionally the center of the buyside, though there are more firms in New York.
LA, San Francisco, and Chicago all have numerous firms. However, none of these cities have anywhere near the numbers of firms that NY or Boston have.
Minneapolis has a very large number of firms for a smaller city.
After that, the only cities with major buyside activity are Atlanta and Denver. There are however, excellent firms in such diverse places as Anchorage (McKinley), Pittsburg (Federated), Baltimore (T. Rowe Price), Houston (Van Kampen / Fayez Sarofim), and basically every other large-to-mid sized city will have at least one well-regarded buyside shop. However, many cities will have only one or two really good shops.

people normally mention AIM and Invesco when they talk about Houston - about 15 times size Van Kampen!
