Best Blogs of the Week

Asset managers posted frequently about the Fed tapering announcement. We selected our favorite post in that topic and then two other interesting pieces.

  • BlackRock – This post relates the Fed’s decision to 4 implications.
  • BlackRock – This post provides 4 reasons (What’s with 4? Perhaps Russ is reminiscing on Jahvid Best’s career at Cal.) to have emerging markets in your portfolio.
  • Russell – Nice post on small caps and why active makes sense for small caps.

This edition captures some excellent blog posts related to the bond market. All these posts are highly pertinent. This summer we spent time with dozens of FAs heard many advisors express concerns with fixed income and they are coming up with many different techniques to handle the concern. Below are four fixed income posts.

  • AllianceBernsteinPost related to searching for yield
  • MFS – Post providing direction on what to do related to bond portfolios
  • PioneerPost related to potential yield scenarios
  • RussellPost relating bonds in contextual history

Best Blogs of the Week

Three posts this week.

  • Oppenheimer – Asset managers were very inclined to write about “the Fed” last week. They came fast and furiously. Related to the topic, I found this single chart the most valuable.
  • Russell – For any advisor with a potential client on the fence, this data can be helpful.
  • Wells Fargo – A plain-speak, straightforward post on bond investing? Yes indeed.
