Diversification and beyond! This week’s best considers diversification, preferred funds, and Greece.

  • BlackRock -In our recent marketing and product work, there’s been a recent uptick in discussing preferred stock as an attractive position in the capital structure. I imagine FAs are hearing a bit about it and this post provides some of the counter-argument.
  • Columbia – This post explains the cause of and effect of a diversifying asset class and significant inflows (to said asset class). This is great fodder for an FA to consider when re-balancing clients’ portfolios.
  • MFS – Greece? Don’t worry, but worry about precedent re: Italy, Spain, & Portugal. That’s a helpful nugget for FAs getting anxious client phone calls.
