Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I'm looking for recommendations for a good bond index fund or etf that is broadly-based, has an extremely low expense ratio, but de-emphasizes (or even eliminates) the lowest-yielding categories (such as US treasuries) so they don't dilute the yield. (Is that the general strategy of "core" bond funds?) I'd prefer to stay away from high-yield funds though. Thx!
I've used VCSH VCIT and VTC in the past. Not sure if they're the best, but I wanted a brand-name etf with an adequate trading volume, as well as low expense ratios.
