What you referred to may have been "the Chinese wall" - a term used for a separation between research and advisory divisions inside an investment bank. It's to prevent a conflict of interest
Chinese Wall

As for the experience or PhD requirement, I don't work there so I can't be certain but I imagine you gotta start somewhere in that field. I have a friend who works as researcher at Moore Capital and he got a bachelor from Baruch and working on CFA Level 2.
