Basically a passive portfolio that buys the bond index. Very short-term with short-term interest rates. Some of the spreads have come in and you are probably going to make as little bit more money but alternatives you could look at are some of the more active styles. 1) You could do it yourself. 2) Go with a bond mutual fund, which gives a little more active style.
A passive way to invest in the short end of the government market. Doesn’t think the short end offers a lot of value because interest rates have dropped quite a bit. Would prefer something further up the yield curve.
