    I have been noticing GNMA and MBS funds holding up quite well. A historical chart Junkster would love to love.

    For example, M* considers USGNX high quality/low interest rate risk using their bond style box shown here:

    US government securities are a flight to safety holding as well.

    Conversely, I still put my trust into multi-asset bond fund manager's who can have access to many more bond opportunities and often times more responsive to bond market trends.
