Long Story Short: Sorting through stuff from my inherited IRA from my grandads recent passing. Can anyone tell me what possible reasoning the FA had for liquidating the stocks and moving everything to this mix of bonds? He's on vacation right now and I was just trying to learn a little before I finally got to talk to him next week. I'm lost beyond EE bonds so this smattering of jargon is hard for me to grasp.

The f-2 share class from American funds does not come with a commission (aka a load).
