Have you realized that the Bond Funds prices has been consistently dropping lately?
The Insider understands that Equity and Bonds generally in opposite directions to each other, like a magnet’s South pole and a North pole. The big difference is that the Equity fund is a bigger “magnet” then the Bond fund.
So we see how the Equities, a.k.a. the Stocks, have a BIG influence in how the Bond funds would react.
I took a couple of Bond Funds to compare against a popular Equity Fund, the DWS China Equity Fund in the past 6 months. Do you see the “magnetism” between them?

I don’t think anyone would like to be invested on a fund that is dropping, but channelling 20% of your investment into an Equity Fd for a small start could be rewarding in the long run.
