Howdy,
A little different flavor with this post, which includes a Morningstar Portfolio view of the holdings listed. This will allow a better look at the overall mix. RNCOX was added last week. The dividend will offset the high expense and hopefully the managers will provide a decent profit using the tools available to this unique fund. At the very worst, if this fund/market goes puff for a period; one could sell down to the $1000 minimum holding without doing severe damage to an overall portfolio. Several of our bond funds had welcome distributions at the end of June. Still looking ahead to the D.C. folks and what becomes of debt issues laying upon their laps; and how the markets may react to the outcome. We will likely hold our cash position into late August. Okay, this is all for now. Back outside to enjoy a most lovely summer evening in our part of MI.
Take care of you and yours,
Catch

Not pure science numbers with this; but we hold 15 bond funds and equity funds with bond holdings; some being a much larger % of total holdings than others...but here are some rough numbers for combined yields:

---5 HY/HI funds avg. yield = 7.4%

---10 mixed/multi sector funds avg. yield = 4.5%

---All 15 bond funds avg. yield = 5.5%

The immediate below % of holdings are only determined by a "fund" name, the M* breaddown is at the end of this write; and a bit more realtistic, although with flaws, too.

CASH = 14.6%
Mixed bond funds = 78%
Equity funds = 7.4%

-Investment grade bond funds 12.2%
-Diversified bond funds 18.5%
-HY/HI bond funds 28.4%
-Total bond funds 14.6%
-Foreign EM/debt bond funds 4.3%
-U.S./Int'l equity/speciality funds 7.4%
