Short term bond funds would be expected to provide a higher return because they add more risk(liquidity risk, interest rate risk, default risk), as opposed to 'risk free' cash.
Also, notice I said bond funds, not bonds.
For example, currentle the Vangaurd Prime MMF yeilds 4.28%, and the Short Term Bond Fund Index yeilds 4.77%.

all of these rates suck
ing pays me less than 4% and you just said some stuff that pays less than five
i'm 25, i don't have ANY money that i don't want to have access to in the next 5 years, who knows what may come up (especially with the forclosure boom thats just around the corner in the US [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )
there isn't some way to make 10%+ passively and with a minimum of risk?

The short answer is no, not for 'low' risk.
