Weekend reading: A slight tweak to your regular link smorgasbord

Good reads from around the Web.

Next week my co-writer The Accumulator is back from his month-long blogging holiday (as opposed to a real holiday – we know he only enjoys short breaks [1] to abandoned seaside towns in the North).

To celebrate his return, I’ve decided to reformat these regular Saturday links in order to separate the passive and active articles.

While The Accumulator tells me he enjoys reading (and presumably chuckling over) the active stuff – in fact, he thought I shouldn’t turn the blog into a passive-only site when I mooted it earlier this year – I do worry the active links are noise for sensible index investors focusing on the really important stuff like asset allocation, cutting costs, and counter-party risk. And getting out more.

So for a while at least, I’ll try splitting these out, for both the blog links and the mainstream media links, to facilitate easier scanning.

Doing so does remind me how few passive articles there are for UK investors. No wonder our passive investing HQ [2] is so popular!

Come back on Tuesday for an update on our Slow & Steady Passive Portfolio [3].
