1. Because bond funds mainly invest in bonds, they have the risk attributes of bonds.

If the bonds invested by a bond fund default, the net value of the fund will fall significantly, and the decline is likely to exceed that of equity funds.

The accumulated income of the fund will be seriously reduced, or even the accumulated income will be lost.

Bond funds are also subject to fluctuations in bond value due to changes in interest rates during the bond holding period. Improper operation may also cause losses.

Therefore, bond funds will cause investors to lose money.

However, the main factor affecting bond returns is inflation. If there is severe inflation in the market, the country will usually raise bank deposit and loan interest rates.

Advantages of bond funds: 1. Lower risk Bond funds can effectively reduce the risks that individual investors may face by directly investing in a certain bond by pooling investors' funds to invest in different bonds.

2. Expert financial management As the types of bonds become increasingly diversified, ordinary investors who want to invest in bonds must not only carefully study the bond-issuing entities, but also judge macroeconomic indicators such as interest rate trends, which is often beyond their capabilities.

Disadvantages of bond funds: 1. Relatively satisfactory returns can only be obtained if you hold them for a long time.

2. When the stock market is booming, the income is still stable at the average level. Compared with stock funds, the income is lower. When the bond market fluctuates, there is even a risk of loss.
