I'm using a traditional lazy 3 fund portfolio. I have the following:
- Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund Investor Shares (VWUSX)
- Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares (VTIAX)
- VANGUARD TOTAL BOND MARKET ETF (BND)
I am considering moving some of the money in the 2 index mutual funds into the bond ETF. I am thinking that this will help serve to keep my account's balance more stable during the downturn in the market expected to come in 2019. Here are my questions:
- First, is this even a good idea, in your opinion?
- Is this a good way to protect investment capital during a time like this?
- Is there some better way to "invest in bonds" than a mutual fund or ETF that holds bonds?
