Any investor bullish on fixed income will want to allocate funds across diverse sources that also offer price appreciation.

Strategists reccomend a portfolio overweight in U.S. corporate, high-yield and mortgage-backed securities , as well as emerging-market debt to take advantage of higher-yielding bonds at the most attractive prices.

The Ishares Iboxx $ Inv Grade Corporate Bond Fundand WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fundare popular choices among financial advisers who employ ETFs to build bond portfolios.

Also included in our portfolio are ETFsthat offer the most liquid and affordable targeting of the recommended sectors.
