VWEAX I've read Brinker recommended Vanguard's High-Yield/Junk Bond fund VWEAX for his fixed income advisor portfolios. Even with today's market rally, that fund is down 28% YTD! See the article "High Yield Fixed Income Investmets - Beware the Hype and Allure" for reasons I don't like that fund. The nutshell summary is I much prefer to take my market risk with equities in both my core and my explore portfolios. Recommending it for a 100% fixed income portfolio doesn't make sense to me because people who want that type of "fixed income only" portfolio do not want stock market risk/volatility. IF they could accept higher portfolio volatility, then they would do far better in the S&P500 or Wilshire 5000 over the long term. What do you think?
