Bonds and Fixed Income

[bar1080]

In the last year or two, I've mainly bought Invesco BulletShare ETFs which have just been around for several years. Those are taxable bond ETFs available in almost any maturity out to 2033. Recently they yielded (YTM) about 6.2% in maturities of a few years out. For instance BSCP matures in 2025. Each Bulletshare contains about 300-500 issues. Each is available in either Investment Grade, High Yield or Muni flavors. I've only bought the IG ones. They trade actively on the NASDAQ just like stocks. Clean and simple. At maturity, the proceeds are dumped into my brokerage account and the issue disappears from my account.

I've used them for several years and have yet to encounter any unexpected drawbacks. Expense ratios are around 0.10%
