In Reply to: How Calculate Bond Percentages? Include Balanced type funds bonds? posted by Cathy on November 06, 2009 at 09:18:25:
Sorry - not cap funds, I meant shouldn't the percentage of bonds included in balanced or blend type funds of your portfolio be included as part of your total bond portfolio (i.e., you would reduce your all-bond funds by the total percentage of bonds in the other funds to come up with your bond total).
Also, should International type bonds be included in your Bond allotment or your Int'l allotment?
I would like to get these two things right.
: If one decides on a Portfolio holding 40% bonds, then also has some Balanced, Blend or Large/Small Caps funds that also include bond percentages, should the percentage of bonds held by these funds be included in with the total percentage of the all-bond part of your portfolio?
