Bonds

Question for the Getquin community.

I am considering adding a small portion of my portfolio to a bond etf in addition to an equity etf.

I would be interested to know if anyone has had any experience with such etfs.

For example $AGAC (+0.03%)
$VAGE (-0.17%)

Or would you only invest directly in bonds?

Just invest passively and for the long term as a retirement provision.

I would appreciate any answers.

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what you want to achieve with it.
If you want to secure the coupon for the next phase of low interest rates, individual bonds or target maturity ETFs are more likely.
If you want to counteract the overall volatility of the portfolio with a passive instrument, then a government bond ETF that specializes in long maturities is more likely. Stronger price fluctuations, but normally uncorrelated to the equity market to such an extent that it has a stabilizing effect.
The above-mentioned funds are somewhere in between. They bob along, don't fluctuate so much, stabilize a little.
I have all three building blocks in my portfolio with $VAGE, $IBGL and individual corporate bonds. But it's not a young growth portfolio or anything like that, it has to fit in with the objectives.
