Two weeks in one post with only two posts to review

So I Was Wrong About the Dollar… -Oppenheimer Funds (The Best Blogs loves self-reflection and contrition. Great post on one of the two most timely investment topics: the USD global ascension)
Bond ladders—a shaky strategy -Wells Fargo (Excellent post on an investment strategy we’ve heard implemented countless times by many advisors: the bond ladder)

Two compelling posts this week.

China’s Reforms: Will They Work? -AllianceBernstein (Helpful post to reiterate the Chinese capital market reforms coming in the near-future)
What’s Really Driving the Value of the Euro and Yen? –WisdomTree (Developed market rally tied to currency risk? Ok, we’re interested to know the relationship)

Helpful financial advisor content this week all around (tough to narrow the choices down). Four posts we thought were particularly helpful.

Who’s at Default Here? QDIAs Needed in More DC Plans -AB (Helpful post on QDIA across a wider-than-usual swath of DC plan.)
How Rising Interest Rates Affect You -BlockRock (Interest rates will raise and this post clarifies the current and near-future for any advisor to share with concerned clients.)
Never dive for yield -MFS (The hunt for yield is on and this post articulates two concerns with the hunting.)
Are you insulated from the “Uber” equivalents in financial services? -Russell (Interesting parallel between Uber/Medallions and investment advisory/robo-advisors.)

Four posts this week, all covering investing themes.

Exploring for High Yield Energy Opportunities Amid Ailing Oil Prices -Invesco (Single best title for a blog post in 2015.)
Exploring the Quality Factor -Invesco (Not enough writing on quality factors (in my opinion), this post starts the discussion at a very high level.)
The U.S. bond market may be good for a lot of things. Passive investing may not be one of them. -Russell (Cogent argument on the issues related to passive bond investing.)
How Does the Strong Dollar Affect Exporters? -Wisdom Tree (Helpful post for any FA being asked about the impact from a strong US dollar.)

Only two posts this week.

What a Strong Dollar Means for Your Investments -BlackRock (Simplifying the dollar appreciation for FAs to easily share with their clients.)
Alpha Generation for Active Managers -Peritus (Not quite as simple – high yield is intrinsically a bit complex – as the preceding post, this post provides sound reasons to pay attention to high yield.)
