John Hood iShares Global Balanced Income ETFCBD.TOBUYSep 16, 2011
Global Balanced Income ETF. Holds several ETFs in a single ETF fund. This is a good idea. Fees are a little bit high. Good product for the smaller investor, especially those having difficulty deciding which ETF.
A large holding for him. Great revenue growth at 20%. Durable. The Waymo self-driving car unit is potentially the next big thing for Google. Trading at 25x PE .
An ETF for a retiree?It's tricky to pick one. If just one, take a conservative ETF, like iShares's CBD-T's balanced portfolio (50% bonds, 50% stocks). iShares is a good product. 1.87% MER.
Global Balanced Income ETF. Does he like the regular rebalancing of the asset allocations? Thinks this is one of those managed core portfolio things, not a straight bond ETF. Think the MER's are getting up around the 75 basis points. Doesn't particularly like these but nothing particularly wrong with them.
