I have decided to allocate 40% of my portfolio to equities and 60% to fixed income. My first question is: In typical allocation categorizations do preferred shares fall under equity or fixed income?
I decided with regard to bonds to build a short term ladder with corp bonds over a 5 year period. I do not want the volatility associated with bonds funds or ETF's. However as I look at current yields in that maturity window in my ITrade inventory I don't see much that is exciting.
Besides the preferred's and corp bonds are there other fixed income investments that I should be looking at?
