[quote=Anonymous]50yo. I have a portfolio allocation that is 90% in stocks. I just received $100K and want to invest it in a Bond Fund (in either my existing T Rowe or Charles Schwab accounts to keep it simple). Goal is simply to diversify my portfolio since I am getting older. When speaking with one of the advisors, I mentioned that I was considering a couple of government/municipal bond funds, and he was steering me to look at corporate bond funds. I know to watch the management fees, and he didn't seem to be trying to push one that was materially higher than the funds I was eyeing. Is there a logic behind that I am missing? Many of the corporate bond funds have lower Morningstar Ratings (like 2 stars). I'm clearly not a finance expert. Just trying to make a more informed decision... and wondering whether I should reconsider what type of bond fund I invest the money in. [/quote]
