But the yields offered by shorter-dated bonds are as attractive as they have been in quite a while. With bonds whipsawing on the way to taking some of their biggest losses in decades, investors can be forgiven for feeling gun-shy about the fixed income market. But in doing so, they also run the risk of missing out on some of the most attractive risk-adjusted returns around. Because short-dated bonds offer just that right now.
