He likes high-yield bonds. This is actually a good time for high yields as the spreads are wide. High-yield bonds are very equity like. Doesn’t think it is necessary to go to a short duration. Doesn’t think the duration on high-yield bonds is as important as the spreads are. He would go with the iShares US High Yield Bond Index (XHY-T).
Adv. Short Duration High ETF. This is a junk bond ETF so make sure you don’t have everything in this. Short duration is less than 1 year. There are not enough names and they really are junk. Very high risk.
Reality is that spreads are very wide so you are getting paid a lot of money. With shorter duration of their bonds, you wont suffer too much if bonds interest rates go up.
