Best Blogs of the Week

Three quick-reading blog posts this week covering three, highly different topics

  • BlackRock – A post from a millennial that references Robo-Advisors!
  • OppenheimerPost with 6 current Q&As. Question 3 seems to receive a lot of attention in the financial news. This answers reads more clearly than most articles I’ve seen.
  • Russell – Really just a valuable (yet amateur-looking) chart for FAs to utilize with clients frustrated with overall portfolio yield.

 

Best Blogs of the Week

We thought to bring the first two weeks of January together in a single post. You’ll find four posts, two relatively technical. Each can materially help financial advisors (and increasingly institutional investors) understand critical investment topics more thoroughly and/or clearly.

  • BlackRock – When a firm posts five predictions about smart beta, we know it’s no longer a fringe topic.
  • Oppenheimer -Believe this approach to discussing (changing) interest rates will be highly valuable to many FAs.
  • Russell – Good time of the year to remind clients to remain disciplined.
  • WisdomTree – Fascinating real-life situation related to liquidity (me too, liquidity and fascinating?)

Best Blogs of the Week

Four interesting posts this week

  • BlackRock – Interesting quick-hit on the impact of lower, global oil prices
  • Russell – New (to me) approach to thinking about LDI
  • Russell – Easy-to-digest data on diversifying through commodities
  • Vanguard – These posts grow a little tiresome; the authors points related to active nature of factor selection in smart beta resonates with me

Apologies for the two-day delay.

Three posts this week with a first in the asset management blog!

  • BlackRock – A post that includes interactivity to compare emerging markets. Impressive!
