Top Performing Bond Funds: Bear Market Ballast

edited February 2015 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. taxable bond mutual funds are still running ahead of the S&P 500 stock market index in 15-year performance, helped by their buoyancy during the 2000-02 and 2007-08 bear markets. But the stock market index is catching up.

During normal market cycles, the stock market and stock mutual funds typically outperform bond funds
