With the financial landscape changes and the threat of inflation I am curious what others are doing to diversify their bond allocation. I keep a check on my Financial Engines account which I usually agree with but it is still suggesting heavy weight in Treasuries (makes me wonder about their formulas).
My initial thoughts were to have 15% TIPS, 20 % US Corp Bond Funds, and 15% International Bond Funds - or just going heavier in Wellesly. Any suggestions or thoughts on the right mix? I'm about 50% bonds @55 with 4% SWR.
My fido rep suggests a combination of PIMCO Total Return, Fidelity Total Bond Fund, and Fidelity Short-Term Bond Fund.
Is there a low cost managed bond fund that fills your needs?
