Best Bond Funds Right Now

A few days ago the Fed sent unexpected signals to the markets, saying that the job recovery in America wasn't at the top and that there where concerns over China slowing economy, which today, are truer than never, as the market showed.

When the Fed does not rise rates, the bonds tend to gain attraction, as they are safer. Add China to the situation and you have got one of the few places where investors would put their money.

Bond funds may feel the pain of redemption, but they are nonetheless safer when the market does not know where to head. Therefore, here is a non-exhaustive list of bond funds.

BlackRock CoRI 2015 Fund

 The fund had a great year, returning 4,55% over the past year.

Fidelity Advisor® Total Bond Fund

Even if it has returned only 1,40%, this fund is so big, one can understand. Is has been flying low since June but after a re-calibration over the Fed, it should go higher.

Buffalo High Yield Fund

This fund returned 3,61% over the past year and if you'd invested 10k at the time, it would be near 20k today.
