Bond index ETFs and funds are usually constructed similarly to stock index ETFs and funds. They hold bonds in proportion to the outstanding bonds issued. Meaning they have the largest weights in bonds from corporations with the most debt. This is, I feel, not what you want to do when the economy is doing badly.
