Three posts of note this week.

  • Columbia – Helpful post on the implications related to a stronger dollar.
  • M&G – For FAs that look at key market indicators, this is a helpful post (and chart really) on US consumer confidence.
  • Putnam – The blog is definitely a place to share innovative concepts and theories. I can’t recall a single thought leadership piece calling for this diversifier.

Three interesting posts over the final two weeks of August.

  • AllianceBernstein – Enjoyable and straightforward opinion (with supporting data) on the US equity markets.
  • Columbia – Strangely surprising that only this firm wrote a piece about Detroit, one year after bankruptcy.
  • MFS – nice post on the linkage between actual private-sector investing and the broad economy

Tremendous amount of discussion this week related to fixed income and thus that topic dominates. Overall, a good week for industry posts.

  • Columbia – Thought-out analysis on muni bonds
  • MFS – Only post relating economic issues to the current situation in Iraq
  • Natixis – Great introduction to bank loan products; worthy for any FA to consider (or reconsider) a product group
  • Russell – You know I enjoy myth busting and this post takes volatility head-on.
  • Wells Fargo –  A framework to analyze if high yield is overvalue
