A Bond ETF Portfolio from Kiplinger
Kiplinger’s Laura Cohn recently wrote about the rising popularity of Bond ETFs and shared a diversified portfolio of five of her favorite exchange traded funds.
The portfolio includes:
25% iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Bond (CSJ)

20% iShares iBoxx $ High-Yield Corporate Bond (HYG)
15% iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond (SHY)

According to Cohn, high income investors should scale the allocation to HYG back to 10% and add:
