Best Blogs of the Week

Five outstanding posts covering vastly different topics.

  • Loomis Sayles – (Welcome to the Best Blogs) Six opinions related to global asset allocation that are clear and succinct
  • PrincipalPOV on the Bill Gross move from PIMCO to Janus that has a lot to do with investing trends and nothing on gossip (favorite post of the week)
  • Russell – Discussing Active Share. I think within a few years this will be a widely discussed metric that may even find itself on ’40 act fund fact sheets.
  • Russell – Helpful description on pension risk transfer; this is a topic gaining broader marketplace interest, so the post is timely
  • Wells Fargo – Equity investing analysis complete with data on high and low-quality companies

BlackRock – Volatility is as important as any investment topic (to FAs). This is a succinct refresher on the topic that is easily shared with clients.

Vanguard – TIPS! Seems like a maligned fixed income choice, but here’s a practioner’s personal guide to holding TIPS.

Wells Farg0 – Favorite of the week discusses the spread between 10-year Treasury and the 10-year Bund.

We’ll be resuming regular Monday morning posts as summer ends this Sunday.

Three interesting posts over the final two weeks of August.

  • AllianceBernstein – Enjoyable and straightforward opinion (with supporting data) on the US equity markets.
