About This Episode

What if you could target more consistent income — in any bond market? By looking beyond the bond benchmark and broadening your fixed-income allocation, you enhance your potential to achieve your clients’ financial goals. That is the premise behind the concept of strategic beta ETFs, which my guest today, Gene Tannuzzo, will discuss.
