PIMCO Drama Helped Create Vident ETF

Ted

FYI: Ronald Blue & Co., the Atlanta-based registered investment advisor that manages $8 billion for its clients—many of them Christians, grew nervous early this year when PIMCO’s senior strategist Mohamed El-Erian left suddenly amid talk that he and star fund manager Bill Gross were feuding.

very disappointing article. While I could do further researchto learn something having read the article I still don't know what the bond ETF invests in and I don't know if its a global bond fund(which it might be based on remarks about investing (for equities) in good guy countries (not North Korea or IRAQ under Hussein

VIDI (the Vident International ETF) looks quite interesting. I'm going to look into it. Thanks from me too, Ted.
