With low prices and attractive yields, bonds in the current market environment are a compelling option. Rather than dive into a vast pool of individual bond options, exchange traded funds (ETFs) can provide a low-cost and convenient option.

"Given the higher risks and costs associated with portfolios of individual bonds, and the time they take to manage, most investors are better served by low-cost mutual funds and ETFs," said Chris Tidmore, senior manager at Vanguard's Investment Advisory Research Center. "This is particularly true in the case of municipal and corporate bonds, which are less liquid and harder to purchase than Treasury bonds."
