# financial markets — Financial Advisor

For a Financial Advisor, 'Financial Markets' competence isn’t about being a trader; it's about *understanding the engine* that drives your clients' investments. Daily work involves interpreting market data (like bond yields, equity indices, and economic indicators) to inform asset allocation recommendations. You need to know how different securities – stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, etc. – function, their risk/return profiles, and *why* prices move. This means regularly reviewing market commentary from reputable sources (Bloomberg, Reuters, Morningstar), understanding the impact of macroeconomic events (inflation reports, Fed policy changes) on portfolios, and being able to explain these concepts clearly to clients.
