How do you decide if a bond fund is a good investment when the price of each share is declining? I have a family member with a bond fund. She is getting a 5.75% yield (monthly dividend / the value of her holdings for that month) yet she has watched the price of the fund drop from $9.69 (per share) to $9.31. She is concerned that she has reached a point where the investment won't recover (she is retired). While the yield (monthly dividend) is good, the value of her holdings has dropped $3,000 (due to share price decrease). Since US interest rates aren't rising too my knowledge (Feds keep cutting their rates) why is the price decreasing? Should she bail? If not, why not (she is retired and has a low risk tolerance) Thanks
