09/08/2011 0 comments

Two defensive investment strategies useful in current stressful times are compared. The first is based on selecting the best bond fund every month or every quarter from a list of bond funds managed by Morningstar's 'Manager of the Year' P Bond Funds Momentum Based on Upgrading Fixed Income Managers of the Year`s Funds Monthly. These funds include PTTRX, TGLMX, WATFX, MWTRX, LSBDX, DODIX, FPNIX.

The second is Retirement Income ETFs that consists of a list of candidate dividend stock and bond ETFs including DVY, EMB, HYG, ICF, IDV, TIP, VIG, VWO.
