    those figures you quote are only the yield.
    does not include capital appreciation.
    that is like quoting dividend yield for stocks but ignoring capital growth.
    bond prices rise ( capital growth ) when interest rates fall and vice versa.
    thus the Vanguard Australian Government bond index ETF has returned 11% in the year ending Nov 30th
    and Betashares CRED Australian investment grade corporate bond ETF has returned 15% !
    nothing dodgy about it.
    that's what happens when interest rates fall.
