I retired about a yr ago and have been sitting on about 600k in a money market fund at Vanguard. Just looking for about 4% without too much risk.
Am about to start getting back into things, but slowly.
Plan to start with bonds. Am thinking individual bonds might be better as then can be held to maturity for full value with a set %.
What am I missing? Why is a bond fund as good or preferable to individual bonds / bond ladder?
Also, what are some of your favorites at Vanguard?
Planning about 50% bonds & 50% equities with these funds.
Thanks
