Best Blogs of the Week vol. 175
on Feb 09, 2015
4 interesting posts to share this week with three built around the philosophy of investing.
- Active Opportunities in a Passive World -Franklin Templeton (Highly thorough post useful for any financial advisor dispelling a client’s inclination towards passive-only investing.)
- Emerging Markets Winners and Losers: Q4 2014 -Loomis Sayles (Helpful and simple post to reveal the emerging markets’ investment struggles.)
- Goodbye Beta, Hello Alpha: The Great Exaggeration of the Death of Actively Managed Fixed Income -Principal (Love any post that dispels myths and while the 4th quarter (of 2014) was tough for many managers, the year was quite positive.)
- Why smart beta can’t win the indexing race -Vanguard (Wow, this post takes aim directly at the term ‘smart beta’ and providers using that term. The argument is somewhat compelling and worth a quick review by any FA.)
