Look at BIL, very short term treasury bills, with both interest/dividends and cap gains.
With the yield curve very flat, you are getting the same rate as longer term treasuries.

So unless you go to a high yield index, which are the corporates, BIL will get the best return for all comparable treasury issued time periods.

As long as bonds are higher than inflation, they are doing their job in your retirement portfolio.
