Roth IRA to Bond Funds?

I am over 59 and a half and I am getting hammered in my Dodge and Cox
International Stock Fund. Does it make any sense to withdraw 5K to invest
in FGOVX with an emphasis on GNMA and Treasury Notes? Thank you

The question is too narrow to give good advice-

what are your holdings?
what is your target allocation?
do you work now?
when will you retire?

In general I would put high growth investments in Roth and income investments (like bonds) in either taxable accounts or tax deferred accounts.
