I’m thinking about building a ladder using Treasury Notes/Bills. My general thought is to buy a 3, 6, 9 and 12 month duration and then as each matures buying a 12 month to replace it. Basically setting up a ladder that matures quarterly. However, in reading some of the threads on fixed income recently it seems there are those that are buying every week or couple weeks.
My question is, what is your framework for your ladder(s). What kind of rungs do you have and what’s your goal in doing so. Trying to see if I’m missing something before I start my foray into owning actual bond versus a bond fund. At this point, I don’t think I’d want to go any longer than one year for duration.
