In this issue, we highlight mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on intermediate-term bonds. To take this information to the next level, you can now connect with other bond investors in a new online community.

AAII offers members an innovative, integrated way to connect with other investors online through topical special interest groups (SIGs). These groups allow AAII members to take advantage of the “collective investor brain” and discuss issues concerning income investing, allocation strategies, retirement withdrawals, stock screening and more.

Whether you are a beginning or seasoned investor, have one AAII subscription or the complete bundled Platinum package, finding the right resources and strategies for your portfolio can be overwhelming. And as an AAII member, you want to ensure that you are getting the most out of your membership. With the number of tools and resources we provide to members, it can be tough to choose what you want to add to your portfolio over the year.

Within the AAII Community, you can find the SIG that fits your individual needs and goals. Not sure whether to delve into the world of bonds or other types of income securities? Now, you can gain exclusive access to hundreds of AAII members by joining in discussions on the pertinent issues involved with bonds in the AAII Income Investing Community.

And if you are wondering how bonds or bond funds might fit in your portfolio, the AAII Community offers a comprehensive PRISM Academy that helps you to clarify the right diversification for you as well as guides you in selecting individual assets among stocks, funds and bonds.

In the AAII Community, members can ask others which bonds might be on their watchlist, discuss the performance of various bond ETFs or pick their brains about laddering bonds—all in the AAII Income Investing Community. For example, in mid-February AAII members started a chat about the pros and cons of defined-maturity bond ETFs.
