6. That's a good question b/c US Treasuries are a part of most bond funds.

Most bond funds have some portion in Treasuries or TIPS. I searched for a global corporate fund with small or no exposure to US Treasuries, and the pickins are slim, though I did find one or two in the fund companies I searched. Surely there are more. There's also the issue of is the fund currency hedged, that is do its holding fluctuate with foreign currencies.

I'd even go for US Corporates, light on Treasuries.
