I’m 50yo and have maybe a 70/30 ratio of stocks to bonds. I want to streamline the number of bond funds/ETFs and am not sure about the right allocation of bond sectors. Who can give me a suggested sub portfolio of bond funds and ETFs, and please explain why allocating to each holding? Thanks fishies.

What do you mean bond sectors? High yield vs investment grade? Have you looked at munis?

They are just the leeway in which managers can operate and invest in bonds. Multi sector and core plus, to my knowledge, invest more internationally and look for higher yield bonds because of a wider mandate. We generally stick to active in the fixed income space because unlike US stocks, the fixed income global market is much more inefficient (IMO).
