...We have THOPX (Thompson Bond Fund) for 32 months of withdrawals. This is down 9% since January and I am not happy. ...
I don't blame you... that is down almost as much as stocks.
Looking at what that fund owns - a lot of corporate and a large chunk in BBB rated issues plus more even lower rated, yeah its credit quality wasn’t that high, and those funds often get beat up during bear markets.I was thinking the same thing.....and that performance doesn't come cheap...the expense ratio is 0.7% on that fund.
