It's a Great Time for Muni Bonds

It's a Great Time for Muni Bonds

We have long written about the two periods when the municipal bond market organically generates the most cash flow into the market — the January / February period and the June / July period.

Fixed Income as a Service

Companies have been rethinking how they do business across industries, geographies, etc. Remote vs. hybrid vs. in-office, fractional executives, outsourcing, you name it. But we think a huge change is also coming to the world of financial advisors — we’re calling it “Fixed Income as a Service.” We believe subadvisory services like Fixed Income as...

Avoiding The Cash Trap

Avoiding The Cash Trap

5.5% seems like a pretty great investment return for cash-equivalent instruments. Given how low the risk is for a CD or money market funds, taking the 5.5% and running seems like a solid bet right now. But is it actually?

Memorial Day Default Madness

Memorial Day Default Madness

The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Nothing

Diversity and Inclusion in Finance

Sweta Singh admits that she fell into finance by chance: “You do something day in and day out, and then you fall in love with it. I think it is symbiotic — you enjoy your work, and then you pour more of yourself into it..” She discovered something in her found profession that has driven her to reach its pinnacle, though: empowerment.
