The Thompson Bond Fund (THOPX) is an actively managed fund that focuses on current income and high total returns.

These include investment-grade corporate debt, U.S. Treasury securities and agency debt, foreign bonds and other debt securities. The fund may also hold below-investment-grade bonds.
With its low costs and rather large potential bond pool, THOPX makes for an ideal core fixed-income fund. The fund is managed by Thompson IM Funds.
