Best Blogs of the Week

This week’s posts cover a fairly wide range of topics and include a video post (from Wells Fargo).

  1. AllianceBernstein – This post shows the struggle between seeking a specific return versus controlling variability. I liked the focus on a specific institutional segment here.
  2. BlackRock – This post focuses on a commonly stated investment process: accessing fixed income directly is difficult and better done via active management. The analysis is interesting.
  3. Wells Fargo – This video provides “7 key principles” that are pretty good. All FAs will use some combination of these and perhaps this post helps sell working with an FA for a prospective client. At 8 minutes, the video is a little long. But once you get to volatility and standard deviation, the idea of working with an advisor will become more appealing to an on-the-fence investor.
