Choose one Bond Fund: FSICX, AHIYX, PTTRX, or TPINX?
I have a new 401k provider and those are my bond fund options. Can one of the experts here spot one better than the other? I am 43 and I can ride out the ups and downs. My research shows PTTRX is the largest mutual fund. Is bigger better? And one web site has TPINX growing ten grand to up over 31 thousand since the year 2000. That is the best return out of ANY option listed among my choices (stock or bond funds). Experts, do you see one or two as better bets than the others?

I agree with your choice of TPINX rated 5 stars gold by Morningstar.
It is a high risk global bond fund with great returns. A this time it has a
large amount of money in cash. Don't put to much of your 401K into
bonds.

Well, it might not be appropriate to gauge future performance based on past performance especially with bond funds. Interest rates today are virtually the lowest they have ever been thank to the Fed bailing out all the dead beat borrowers. Interest rates have virtually no where to go but up. PTTRX is considered one of the best. Has an excellent record. Caution would be advised.

I'd go with the templeton fund. Quality is not as high, but shorter term bonds would be better in this environment. Just my opinion.
