I am about 30% cash in Retirement account. I just don't want to lose money trying to find best yield for no risk.

Bought SNOXX bc I have Schwab just wondering if I can do better

Not really sure how bond fund works

Until recently I would have recommended the Vanguard GInnie Mae fund It has plummeted with rising interest rates so this may be the time to buy.

I have Schwab


Since you’re already with Schwab, have you considered just buying 3 or 6 month t-bills - depending on what sort of duration you’re looking for?

SHV is a nice short term bond fund - my largest position.

I like DODIX’s active management.

our bond allocation is currently in short duration bond funds of 2 years or less. BSV is always a safe choice. either that, or as other have said, call schwab or whoever you use and ask them to help you buy short term treasuries.

You can get 3.9-4% on 6 month CDs. Don’t buy bond funds if you don’t understand how they work.
