On the next page, find the area on the left column entitled “Stock funds, bond funds, international funds, sector funds.” This will take you to bond funds. Listed here is a wide spectrum of mutual funds that invest in bonds and other fixed income securities. Continue clicking until you find a bond fund that interests you.
