Three posts from the previous two weeks

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.

  • Principal – Nice counter to the current conventional wisdom that small cap stocks (A hearty welcome for Principal to the Best Blogs.)
  • Vanguard –Helpful post on why fixed income managers are overweight in corporate bonds with related commentary.
