Bonds Strategy
The strategy aims to provide exposure to the US bond market only during bond market rising trends.
If the US bond market is observed to be in a positive trend, the Portfolio is allocated to one to two best-performing ETFs from : JNK (High Yield Bonds), BND (Total Bond Market) and LQD (Corporate Bonds). ETFs that are bought have the best momentum (performance). If in a falling US bond market trend, the Portfolio is allocated to an Intermediate-term US Treasuries ETF (IEF).
