MORTGAGE BOND

BEST OVERALL MORTGAGE BOND FUND

Vanguard GNMA Inv (VFIIX)

A FAVORITE BECAUSE: With bond yields in general at historic lows, this fund's 0.23% exp ratio gives it an advantage even better managers at other funds won't be able to beat.

WE DON'T LIKE: All government backed mortgage debt means safer than most in category but could underperform cheap funds with higher-yield, lower-grade mortgage debt if economy remains afloat.
