The latest edition of S&P's The Outlook highlights several global bond funds at a time when I am rebalancing some equity fund assets to bond funds.
Top no-load 3-year funds in this category: PGYCX, SHYOX, PDVDX, OIBCX, and TEGBX. Top 5-year funds are OIBCX, TEGBX, SHYOX, BEGBX, and LSGlX.
My question is whether one really needs any global bond fund? I have seen BEGBX mentioned here. I also see that Vanguard doesn't have a fund in this asset class or do they?
Furthermore, I would have to reduce Vanguard S&P500, PrimeCap and/or WindowsII to increase fixed income assets, so which would you choose to cut back on and why? And if you had to pick a Vanguard bond fund for a tax-deferred account, which one would you go for? Short-term? Intermediate term? GNMA?
Maybe this is a little too much of "pimp my portfolio", but all responses are welcome. Thanks!
