You can't compare things to today’s bond market, because you don't know what the risks are. It's all historical data vs. other historical data.
As to solid returns today, regulated public utilities companies have ok returns and low risks. It's not zero risks and the upside is limited, but many people consider them the benchmark for low to moderate risk investments. (Though you still need due diligence as leverage can still kill them.)
Effectively zero risk investments on the other hand have a huge price premium.
