[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Wealthfront customer who follows their recommended diversification model; recently they've been pushing a new model. For the 1/3 fixed income portion of the portfolio, which used to be invested all in ETFs tracking muni bonds, they are instead now recommending that I invest about 2/9 in an ETF tracking corporate bonds (with higher yield, but fully taxable) and 1/9 in TIPS (and divest from munis entirely). This is because I make too little money to benefit from the tax savings coming from munis, their model says (HHI < 300k). Is this a good idea? I supposed there are two questions here: - is corporate instead of muni a good idea now? - are TIPS a good idea? (I read that with inflation as it is they are poised to pay high interest, but I'm wondering if this isn't already priced in so it's too late now to buy them.) Also, this is not direct TIPS buying, it's via an ETF. Please don't comment on whether WF itself is a good idea or not. [/quote]
