VWESX, PTCIX and VIPSX lost 2.28, 1.47 and 1.1 so far this year. They are: long-term investment grade, long-term credit institutional and inflation-protected.

VFSTX (short term bond) made only .07. FCISX (multisector bond) made .05.

My munis - FLTMX and VWITX - made .34 and .40. I can live with that.

I am heavy with VIPSX, so it came out a loss for the month.

I need to make a correction on my statements above. I no longer have the DOMESTIC bond funds in my Vanguard portfolio that I mentioned above. I, however am still in a GLOBAL bond fund which is doing well in my 401k. All my 401k holdings are overseas. Real Estate, Bonds, and growth stocks. The return on my overseas investments is better than domestically. I have enough domestic allocation in my Vanguard Roth IRA, brokerage account, and individual account.

Wonder if I should get out of VWINX.

I've been trying to decide on a good alternative to that fund. I'm pretty heavy in there now.
