Title: international bonds
Post by: cv on June 01, 2013, 06:46:12 PM

vanguard is offering VTIBX, total international bond index fund, mostly from developed market, also some emerging markets.  Does anyone have experience with similar index funds, their performance over time, etc?

I'm 35yo, 150K asset, aiming for retirement in 10 years; 20% is my upper limit for bond holdings.
