I also think it's a nice change to see a pure bond portfolio. I have a few questions: 1. are the bonds your entire investments or just part of them? If complete, the question of asset class diversification and cluster risk immediately arises. 2. what is your strategy? How do you select the countries, the maturities, the weightings? When do you get in, when do you get out? 3. why don't you use a bond ETF? This gives you a higher diversification and you can take the interest rate reduction cycle directly with you.

1. no, of course they are only a part. At the moment I'm switching a portion from ETFs to bonds. Seems more promising to me in the near future. 2. half to max. 2/3 USA, the rest Europe or Eurobonds. 30+ years. In Europe then spread over several countries. Well, now is the time to get in after the clear FED announcement. Prices have actually been rising since mid-October. I got in with the first large sum at the beginning of the week and then the FED surprised me and put me under pressure to move. I'm taking the interest with me until interest rates reach a bottom at "normal levels" and will then hedge it with a narrow SL. 3. I'm now taking it for the monthly savings installment from January. The trading costs would be too high for 1k+ and I wouldn't have enough time in the market to save up.
