Looking at my Bloomberg and corporate inventory, you may want to consider corporate bonds (but check with a broker that is registered in your state, and knows your suitability, etc): Defense bonds trades this morning:

GD Corps 3.60% due 2042 @ 98.5 ish
BA corp 3.365% due 2046 @ 95-ish
NOC 7.75% due 2031 @ 141.00 =ish
LMT 4.70% due 2046 @ 109-111.00 -ish

If you are a Qualified Institutional Buyer (>$5mm in account), or an Accredited investor (AI) (>$1mm in account), you may want to consider high yield defense bonds from Huntington-Ingles. They are all 144a bonds and some private placement on the secondary.

Do you really think some one asking that question here has that type of access or even know what yer talking about?

...If you are a Qualified Institutional Buyer (>$5mm in account), or an Accredited investor (AI) (>$1mm in account)...

These definitions, both for Qualified Institutional Buyer and Accredited Investor are wrong.

The definitions are lengthy, but very specific. Google is your friend, as is Wikipedia. For instance, the term "accredited investor" is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Probably the easiest way to be an AI is to have net worth of more than $1 Million excluding a primary residence. It does not have to all be in one brokerage account. There are seven other ways to achieve this status. Most of them are geared toward trusts and institutions. Sufficient income will also put one into the AI class.

While I am not the most sophisticated financial person in the world, I personally, would be very wary of any advice coming from a source which can get a simple and easily verified definition so wrong.
