Bonds are boring yet necessary investments. They generate a low, fixed income return, providing a predictable stream of income. Bonds also help preserve capital, reducing a portfolio's risk profile and volatility. Most financial advisors recommend that all investors allocate at least some of their portfolio to bonds, with that allocation rising as an investor approaches retirement.
There are lots of ways to invest in bonds. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are the simplest way to add some bond exposure to a portfolio. One of the best bond ETFs to buy is the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ: BND) . Here's why it belongs in almost any long-term portfolio.
