What is the simplest way to invest in bonds?

Bond Mutual Funds

Because timing the bond market is so tricky, you're probably better off doing your bond investing through bond mutual funds. Bond funds are available in a variety of risk levels and with a variety of returns. Funds that specialize in shorter-term funds are safer than those that specialize in longer-term funds. As with other investments, safer bond funds mean less of a return. Ask for a bond fund prospectus and check out the companies represented in the portfolio before making any decisions about bond fund investing.
