Two posts that bring up oft-discussed topics (by FAs)

American Century – Indexes that are not cap-weighted seem to be gaining traction (unfortunately often under the terrible term – smart beta). This post is a short introduction to the topic; easily sharable.
BlackRock – Bonds – en vogue or not?

After two consecutive one-post weeks, best blogs found a large set to share.

Municipal Bonds

No denying the importance of municipal bonds. I attended a media relations lunch event for one of our clients last week and multiple reporters touched on muni bonds. Here are three solid and slightly different views on the topic:

No rest for industry blog authors – posts are coming as frequently as they were in May. Two posts in this week’s review.

American Century – This post provides a clear asset allocation evaluation as Q3 finishes.
Franklin Templeton – This post shares a little history (slightly corny) but then gets into an interesting opportunity: investing in European equities.

Not a large swath of great posts this week.

AllianceBernstein – The pendulum has swung to equities and this is a helpful, concise view into equities and where to search.
American Century – Volatility. Equities. In a chart. Not new but useful nevertheless.
Putnam – This is a bit of a detour but still a useful post for FAs. Because politics come up so frequently, this post is helpful in clarifying the differences between the Senate and House budget plans.

This week’s posts include a great graphic related to the sequester along with two valuable posts

American Century – This post provides helpful insight into the investment process. We often hear FAs discuss the need/desire to understand how different PMs decide to buy/sell before selecting their fund for a specific investment style. This post answers the sell part of that question effectively.
Putnam – Step back from the ledge! This is a valuable graphic about sequestration.
Russell – I enjoy the conventional myth – contradictory facts paradigm. I’m thinking many FAs do as well and this post effective discusses the facts on taxes related to passive investing.
