Targeted bond funds?

Post by scylla »

I've been reading more and more about "targeted bond funds," which, ostensibly, combine the best of bond mutual funds and bond ladders. I was wondering if people have any opinion of, or experience with, the subject. Are they worth considering, assuming the cost is low?

Doesn't seem very diversified... you only hold bonds expected to hit maturity the same year. Best to buy TBM or Intermediate/short-term bond index funds that hold a vast collection of bonds.
