Guggenheim Investments Recognized for Best Fixed-Income Initiatives at WealthManagement.com Industry Awards

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2017 -- Guggenheim Investments, the global asset management and investment advisory business of Guggenheim Partners, recently was recognized for its fixed-income thought leadership at the third annual WealthManagement.com Industry Awards. The firm was awarded Outstanding Achievement in Fixed Income in the category of asset managers.

Guggenheim received the award for such thought leadership materials as its quarterly Fixed-Income Outlook and High Yield and Bank Loan Outlook, its white papers on asset-backed securities (ABS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), its video production program, and its CIO Outlooks by Global Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of Investments Scott Minerd.

“We’re greatly appreciative of the tremendous ongoing recognition financial advisors place upon our macroeconomic perspectives and research and this strong endorsement of the world-class work from our macroeconomic, editorial, and branding teams,” Minerd said. “They work very hard to provide advisors and clients with proprietary thinking that helps them better understand the issues impacting global markets and make informed investment decisions.”

The award was the second major recognition Guggenheim Investments has recently received for outstanding thought leadership materials. Earlier this month, a Cogent Reports survey of more than 1,000 financial advisors across all channels placed Guggenheim among the top five asset management firms when it comes to the reading and sharing of investment thought leadership.

“Guggenheim Investments continues to provide advisors and their clients with timely and relevant investment insights highlighting the depth and rigor of our fundamental research,” said Jerry W. Miller, President of Guggenheim Investments. “We are pleased that advisors recognize and value the quality of the firm’s work, which is also reflected in our investment process and across our innovative products and strategies.”

The WealthManagement.com Industry Awards program recognizes the companies and organizations that support financial advisor success. This specific award is presented to the firm that improves advisors’ understanding, usage, and portfolio management of fixed income
