Short-term corporates suit elderly in low-tax states
The author argues that for investors aged 87 and 92, a large portion of holdings should be in short-term bonds with a 2-3 year average duration. If state income taxes are low or zero, a short-term corporate bond fund like IGSB makes sense, and the author cites a yield of roughly 4.9%. The main risk implied is that short-term bonds offer limited growth and yields can change.
