Best Blogs of the Week

Three excellent posts this week spanning very different topics.

  3. Russell – This post evaluates a couple muni bond scenarios very clearly. I envision FAs sharing this directly with their most knowledgeable, bond-oriented clients.

  • Invesco – This post gets to the mechanics of investing in South Korea. That’s a rare treat.
  • Russell – This post describes equity investing with lower volatility succinctly and with data!
