High yield bond funds are very risky. The whole bond market has done well the last few years, but there is no guarantee that will continue. Someone did point out in a previous post that if you could find an investment that paid more than the interest on the (home) bond that you'd be better off going that route, but in this interest rate environment, to find a safe investment that will do so, could be challenging.
