Corporate bonds yielding 6 to 8%?

Question

Please give me some suggestions on some investment grade bonds that yield to maturity (5 to 10 years) 6 to 8% with reasonable risk?

Answer 1

Investment grade bonds are yielding around 4.5 to 4.7% for 5 to 10 year maturities. Junk is yielding about 8%.
For current yield and safety, you can not beat t-bills at the moment. Current yield 5% and untaxed by state and local governments. There are closed end debt funds that currently yield that return but their expense ratios are too high for them to be recommended investment vehicles. And all of the high yielding closed end funds are selling at healthy premiums to net assets.

Answer 2

Investment grade bonds (A) do not yield that much now. Need to go to equities or foeign bonds or high yield (low-rated) bonds to make that much. Avoiding risk costs you & often is dead-wrong. A nice Reit like SNH can do that % in total return most yrs.

Answer 3

Now a days corporate bonds are not give much profit. Mutual fonds is more better than bonds.
