Wells Fargo

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.

 

Best Blogs of the Week

This week’s best posts present helpful materials advisors could share directly with clients. It’s that straightforward.

Russell – This post has a helpful chart and shows returns by asset class.

Russell – This post provides intra-month peak-to-trough (some serious hyphenation there) performance of the Russell 1000 in 2012. That’s useful to remember that rising markets don’t do so in a straight line.

Wells Fargo – This Q&A answers questions related to prevalent notion (across news outlets) that equities must be heading downwards. Right?

Best Blogs of the Week

Hopefully everyone (in the Northeast) is settling in with a fine coffee as you read this Monday morning. We have three high-quality posts from last week to share.

  • MFS – Swanson takes a contrary position regarding US corporate profits.
  • Putnam – Nice job providing correlations and (more importantly) implications.
  • Wells Farg0 – It doesn’t hurt to refresh understandings some times. And this post is a nice Q&A related to alternatives with a leading institutional alternatives manufacturer.

 

Best Blogs of the Week

This week’s blogs all take a specific stance within the first three sentences. We think that leads to effective FA support in thought leadership especially when intertwined onto current events/topics.

  • Columbia – This post paints the case for global emerging markets eloquently.
  • Oppenheimer – The author has a clear opinion on one of the world’s most important currency.
  • Wells Fargo – This post is a Q&A related to allocating within a fixed income allocation and then relative to equities.
