Hi @Old_Joe and @hank
I did read the linked article and don't know why Fidelity even chose to publish such a survey; as no meaningful data was presented.

Hi @VintageFreak
I didn't state, but my first thought was also that the "advisors" were pissed on loosing asset base to manage and cutting into their take home pay and not so much about parents helping their children. :)
Hi @Tarwheel
Hats off to you and yours!
As you have stated, and I agree; that especially when the monetary ability exists, to give a child a boost along into adult life is fully acceptable, IMHO. This is part of being a responsible parent.

Agree. One choice could be Latin America, yes; more so, Brazil. The area is a traders paradise, if one is very good at that. The swings have been pretty wide for that market.

I'd start to believe and settle for a nice ten year chart related to what the author is jabbering.
About 10 tickers on a nice chart would be nice, eh?

@davidrmoran
Agree about active vs etf for most bond areas. This was a quick and dirty broad view after the short term rate hike. YTD for these choices is only 2 weeks shorter than the 6 month period of the chart.

Short term bond funds are not going to get one much of anything in total return, as this is where the rate hikes are landing. Higher rate = lower price.....at least for an initial period, until the traders and others sort out what they want…

Never invested with any Research Affiliates/Rob Arnott advised funds, as I still can't agree with his assessment of the investing world and thus investment choices being made by him/them.
