De-risking 40% of a portfolio at age 59.
Likes the idea of PSA. TLT, he believes, is a leveraged play on the bond market and wouldn't do that. BNS high interest savings, for example, pays 4.75% for optionality and no risk.
For an ETF filled with 1-year bonds that's very low risk, look at ZST.L. Pays a high dividend, though it's interest. Very competitive rate. If interest rates come down, you might even get a bit of capital appreciation.
If he was concerned about a downturn, he'd just look at a daily high interest ETF like HISA or PSA. Those ones give you 5-5.5% right now, and next day liquidity.
Great option for investors looking for steady yield. Very defensive stock. Ability to generate yield that has been absent for years, given low interest rates. Would recommend to keep holding.
It is backed by bank accounts or deposit accounts at chartered banks, in other words a quasi money market fund.It is pretty stable with only the credit risk of individual banks. It has similar yield to a previous caller's suggestion - HSAV.
(A Top Pick Jul 31/19, Up 0.4%) This is a way to lower volatility. A return of 2.15% per year, paid monthly. Hold it during volatility, sell it, and use the return to pick up your cyclicals during periods of seasonal strength.
Pays a 2.15% annual yield. This mitigates volatility during the summer, a place to park your cash until you take advantage of volatility. This will lower your portfolio's volatility.
(A Top Pick Aug 31/18, Up 0.4%) Yields 2.15%. As he raised cash before seaonal volatility in September and October, he parked that cash here. As the market plunged, he was 50% cash in August.
High-yield savings account. Monthly distribution. With equity weakness in September coming up (the last 2 weeks being the weakest), being invested in this, you’ll do well to sit out the volatility. It’s only one month. Yield is 1.9%.
(A Top Pick January 13/17 Up 2%) Not meant to have a huge return as it is meant to mirror cash by holding high interest savings as a convenience. He likes holding cash better than bonds.
