all convertible bonds

My goal is long-term growth because I have a stable and highly paid job. I want to use bonds to diversify my stock portfolio. Quality (low default rate), low cost, and tax efficiency are the most important to me.

I’m considering Vanguard or Fidelity bond index funds for their low cost and diversification.

I’m also considering IBond (US Saving Bond Series I at TreasuryDirect.gov) for its tax deferral, tax-exemption when redeemed for my education, and guaranteed principal plus interests at maturity.

How do you invest in bonds in your taxable accounts? Why?
