This morning, I noticed this BlackRock ad (from my home computer no less) on ESPN. Interesting placement. (And no, I don’t normally look into spring training results. This was an extremely quiet morning.)
This week, similar to last week’s post, includes two posts. This time from different firms on very different topics.
Russell – This post provides a quick look back to investment returns from 1970 – 2000. The view is a potentially simple way to temper client investment expectations.
Wells Fargo – This post covers 4 myths of fixed-income investing with the myth – mythbuster paradigm. I find that paradigm punchy and enjoyable to read and imagine many FAs would as well.
In 2007, microsites were all the rage. Manager after manager was rushing to put out some clever vanity URL with select content. Slowly, they faded from the mainstream.
In 2012, they are back and with good reason. I’ll focus on two good reasons microsites are returning.
I visited the At Cost Cafe yesterday afternoon while it was parked west of Union Square in New York. The experience was fantastic. Hats off to Vanguard for trying something interesting and executing it very well.
