by: Irene Yeh, BISA Staff
Did you know that there have been 40 original content pieces, 13 podcast episodes and 358 news stories shared on Portfolio since January 1, 2021? That is a lot of content at your fingertips.
This holiday, we want to thank all of our contributors, and share five of the top pieces of content from the past year for you to look back upon. Without your participation, we would not be able to create a content hub that contains quite as much valuable information for the ins and outs and current events of the financial services industry.

- Why Are We Focusing on the Mass Affluent?
By the Kehrer Bielan Team
Many banks have prioritized capturing and retaining the banking business of the mass affluent.
