[quote=Anonymous]What kind of bonds are these? If they’re paying 4% after tax, they sound riskier than US treasuries. The 1.1% fee would reduce your return to very slightly above 2 year US treasuries, which are state tax free and fee free. If this is your cash portion, It doesn’t make sense to put it in risky investments that could default. US treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Roll your own 6 year bond ladder. Not hard to do at all at your brokerage. Did you already max out I Bonds for the year? Those are paying 7.2, then 9.6 for a year. You could even front-load all 6 years using the gift box method.[/quote]
