Best Blogs of the Week

Two blogs made this week’s round-up – one for instruction and the other for helpful information.

  • AllianceBernstein – This post ends with four ideas for portfolio management (at the end-investor level) in a low-interest environment.
  • Russell – This post recaps summary survey data from a Russell survey of investment managers. The results include a few gems.

Three posts this week that do not touch on QE3 since Mike addressed the topic nicely on Friday.

  • Columbia – Award for the best blog title of the week. I won’t give it away: post.
  • Putnam – This post provides a rare non-investing post. The author reminds FAs of difference succession planning options available to them. For any FA with entrepreneurial clients, this is a critical topic.
  • Russell – This post provides advisors with survey data about advisors and their opinions on global investing.

Another week and another newcomer to the best blogs of the week. This week it is Oppenheimer. With the first presidential convention under way, this week included numerous blog posts linked to the November elections. I’m sure we’ll continue to see more posts up to the election (and probably afterwards). In this review, we included two posts with links to government.

  • AllianceBernstein – This post describes the differences between an Obama and Ryan budget plan. As advisors receive greater inbound questions, similar posts will help shape those advisors’ answers.
  • BlackRock – Simply a fantastic infographic.
  • Franklin Templeton – The driest of the four, this post provides practical input on risk management when overseeing a portfolio.
  • Oppenheimer – This post discusses the impact of Chairman Bernake’s reappointment by President Obama’s in 2010 and the importance to consider the effect of a change.
