Don’t Get Done In By Unintended Overweight Exposure
A few things from around the interwebs over the weekend. First up is a paper from Research Affiliates titled Building Portfolios: Diversification Without The Heartburn. The paper targets a portfolio with a 10% volatility, a pretty low number and because of current valuations believes the way to get there is to have only 27.5% in equities […]

China’s Big Bang Bombshell: Beijing Opens Financial Sector To Foreign Ownership, But Why Now?
That was quick. Trump leaves China (only to go back on the offensive about unfair trade practices in his APEC speech) and just hours later Trump’s new Beijing friends announce that foreign firms will be permitted to take majority ownership in Chinese financial firms… well capped at 51% for now anyway. We doubt that this occurred […]

U.K. ETFs In Focus On Lower GDP Growth Forecasts

Moreover, the commission expects GDP growth to fall to 1.3% in 2018 and 1.1% in 2019, as mounting concerns related to a hard Brexit weigh on the economic prospects of the region. Economic Scenario In the third […]
Resistance Is Futile, Retailers Must Work With Amazon: DA Davidson
Yes, Amazon is “unstoppable” and “we are living in the decade of Amazon,” but competing retailers are simply looking at the issue from the wrong perspective, says a D.A. Davidson Institutional Equity Report. The strategy retailers are using now will look very different in the future. Some corporations will find the magical formula and will prosper […]
