Wellington's Jacobson: 'We like equities better than bonds now'
Nanette Abuhoff Jacobson, multi-asset strategist at Wellington Management -- the global investment strategist for the Hartford Funds -- says that she prefers equities to bonds right now, despite fixed income delivering its best returns in years, noting that she particularly likes dividend paying stocks, both in the U.S. and in Europe. Jacobson also likes Japan, but she dislikes emerging markets and is particularly wary of China right now. Todd Rosenbluth at VettaFi likes the looks of a relatively new actively managed ETF from T. Rowe Price that invests in small and mid-cap companies as his "ETF of the Week." Greg McBride discusses a new study from Bankrate.com showing that 36% of Americans have more credit-card debt than emergency savings and, in the Market Call, Tobias Carlisle of the Acquirers Funds talks about his brand of deep-value investing.
