what happens to bonds values when interest rates rise? [duplicate]
user
you can look at tips (which have some inflation protection built in). generally short term bonds are better than long if you expect rates to rise soon. other ways that you can protect yourself are to choose higher yield corporate bonds instead of government bonds, or to use foreign bonds. there are plenty of bond funds like templeton global or etfs that offer such features. find one that will work for you.
