No. The investment vehicle should (strive to) attain it's stated goal. If I invest in a fund that tracks bonds, then I expect it to track bonds. I didn't invest in a fund that said it would give me zero percent yield, I invested in a fund that said it would track bonds. If you want a fund that invests in literally anything that doesn't have a known negative ROI then you need a different fund. If funds try to do what they think investors want rather than what they said they'd do, then they can get in serious trouble.
