FYI: Want to earn more without taking on more risk? Though I generally tell clients they can’t, when it comes to fixed income, they actually can.
First, I’m an advocate of bonds needing to be high quality. My advice to clients is to take their risk with equities and let their bonds be boring. I caution them against repeating the same mistake as in 2008 of trying to earn an extra 0.50% annually by taking on a ton of default risk. That’s why I like these high-quality low-cost intermediate-term ETFs:
