Bond Funds Are Hot. Income Investors Should Be Cautious

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Money has been pouring into bond funds globally this year, but income investors should tread carefully.

Net buying in global bond funds is on pace to reach a “staggering record” of $455 billion in 2019, according to BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. That compares with the $1.7 trillion of inflows over the past 10 years. The accompanying table lists six bond exchange-traded funds with assets totaling about $170 billion.

    Just plucked 57% of my stake in PRSNX and plopped it into RPSIX, a fund of funds, and holding 13% of its portfolio in stocks. The Trumpster is rattling his sabre. (Shit!)
