I have accounts at Vanguard and Fidelity. To implement Rick Ferri's recommended bond portfolio, I have shortlisted the following funds at Vanguard (with expense ratios):
60% Total Bond - VBTLX (0.05%) - Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund
20% TIPS -VIPSX (0.20%) - Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Investor Shares
20% High Yield Corporate - VWEHX (0.23%) - Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund Investor Shares
Could someone please recommend equivalent funds at Fidelity?
Thanks!

Re: Rick Ferri's Bond Portfolio at Fidelity
The wiki has a fidelity page
https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Fidelity But they don't list an equivalent junk bond fund as bogleheads prefer their risk on the equity side. I suppose an equivalent would be sphix.

You might look at a high yield bond etf but some don't like bond ETFs. Hyg or shyg.
https://www.fidelity.com/etfs/Ishares
This fidelity article has some junk bond recs.
https://www.fidelity.com/insights/inves ... sider?ah=1
Or better yet take your risk on the equity side.
PS, Your post gives the symbol for high yield but you call it short term tips fund.

Re: Rick Ferri's Bond Portfolio at Fidelity
Use 80% IUSB (which is a total bond market fund that includes high yield at market weight) and 20% in either TIP or FSIYX.
I think IUSB is most in the spirit of Ferri's views on holding high-yield bonds. He would be even happier if something like IUSB was available in traditional mutual fund form.
