The bond funds are returning relatively feeble yields

Really? I must be in a very special bond fund considering it has returned double digit returns for the last three years and most of what they hold is US government bonds. Maybe the problem lay in the funds available within 401s. It would have been difficult to lose money in bonds in the last three years with interest rates dropping the way they have. Of course all that changes in a hurry when interest rates move up.
