Five outstanding posts covering vastly different topics.

  • Loomis Sayles – (Welcome to the Best Blogs) Six opinions related to global asset allocation that are clear and succinct
  • Principal – POV on the Bill Gross move from PIMCO to Janus that has a lot to do with investing trends and nothing on gossip (favorite post of the week)
  • Russell – Discussing Active Share. I think within a few years this will be a widely discussed metric that may even find itself on ’40 act fund fact sheets.
  • Russell – Helpful description on pension risk transfer; this is a topic gaining broader marketplace interest, so the post is timely
  • Wells Fargo – Equity investing analysis complete with data on high and low-quality companies

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.

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

We’re a week behind and looked at the last two weeks. And in reviewing all the posts, we found two excellent posts.

  • Oppenheimer – A straightforward post with an optimistic view of the global economy and the related net impacts.
  • Wells Fargo – A helpful post reiterating (more effectively than most) the impact from volatility on the equity markets.
