Since I have focused so much on the stock side of things in previous posts (mainly because that is the area I invest in and research most often), I wanted to look at a few top bond funds. These funds invest solely in bonds and have proven to be very viable 
investment vehicles over the years.
1. Dodge and Cox Income Report (DODIX)- The managers of this fund have been around for a long time and have been very successful. This fund yields 4.99% and has an expense ratio of just 0.44%. The fund has a 5 star rating from morningstar.
2. Vanguard GNMA (VFIIX)- Vanguard's industry-best low expenses show up here, with this fund sporting rock-bottom expenses of 0.21%. The managers here do a great job of managing prepayment risk. VFIIX has very high standards for investing in very high-credit-quality bonds, so the volatility here is low. This fund receives 5 stars from morningstar.
