I’m not a fan of VWEHX. Yes, 6.25% yield but over the last 2 years I’ve lost principle which brings total return down. Also, .22% expense seems a tad high. I’ve been moving from treasuries to BBB corporate bonds. So far, so good. Very easy to research and find good corporate bonds on Fidelity >Research > Fixed Income
