I would suggest doing a fair chunk of reading on
- individual bonds and bond funds
- how they've been hit by recent interest rates
- the people who are lamenting having bond funds instead of individual bonds
- the people who are telling them they're wrong to lament
- the meaning behind, "I'll take my risk in equities"
and so on, before you commit to your bond allocation.
Well, you could start here:

You might come out understanding bond funds and being all for them, or understanding bond funds and running away from them at high speed. But you should understand them before you put money into them.
