I think that no matter your view on mutual funds a good bond fund is a decent way to go. The fees are generally pretty low, and bond managers are worth the tiny bit extra.
I have a number of clients that we invested into bonds this year and they are positive through the worst of this upheaval (portfolio-wise). Its like Buffett says "stocks always outperform bonds, except when they don't."
