Buy short to intermediate corporate debt for income.
Corporate debt, particularly short to intermediate maturity, is a fantastic way to add exposure because the main story for fixed income is income, which hasn't been seen in a while. Real yields look compelling, and there's a lot of opportunity in fixed income, especially given a robust economy with a steeper yield curve and volatility in the long end. On the high-yield side, you're not getting as much pickup to take on additional credit risk.

The speaker notes that the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT) is yielding ~4.75%, significantly higher than the 3.3% the post's author is earning on cash. For an investor seeking higher yield than cash but unwilling to take on full equity risk, intermediate-term corporate bonds offer a compelling middle ground, providing enhanced income. VCIT is a suitable investment for those looking to increase portfolio yield by taking on a moderate level of credit and duration risk, positioning it between the safety of cash and the volatility of stocks. VCIT is subject to interest rate risk (bond prices fall when rates rise) and credit risk (the possibility of corporate defaults). An economic downturn could negatively impact its value.TICKER - DIRECTION
