The iShares Canadian Corporate Bond ETF (XCB-T) is currently facing challenges due to global issues related to government debt and rising deficits in both Canada and the U.S. Experts express concerns that bonds may struggle to surpass the rate of inflation moving forward. For a 68-year-old retiree with a robust portfolio, the ETF provides exposure to a wide range of corporate bonds but carries noticeable interest rate and credit risks in today's market. Given the tight credit spreads, the additional yield compared to government bonds might not fully justify the inherent risks. Some experts suggest exploring alternatives, like ZST, for more stability in a conservative investment strategy.

ZST

WEAK BUY

6-year duration so it is a little more sensitive to an increase in interest rates. He is not particularly nervous about this one.

BUY

Passive ETF. It is the broad corporate universe. More interest-rate sensitivity, but higher yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 30/09. Up 8.75%.) Corporate bonds. Reasonable place to be. Does not expect much further spread reductions.

COMMENT

iShares Cdn Corp Bond ETF. Most people are expecting rate hikes in the 2nd half of this year and this will have an adverse impact on all Bond ETFs. He doesn't expect the rate hikes will be that large.

COMMENT

Cdn Corp Bond ETF. Prefers over the Cdn Bond Market ETF (XBB-T) because of its shorter duration and the higher yield. 52% of it is in financials, which is a high percentage.

BUY

Canadian Corporate Bond ETF. Spread between corporate and government bonds have narrowed a fair bit. Owning an ETF in the sector makes a lot of sense. Better diversification.

COMMENT

Canadian corporate bond ETF. Bonds have had a pretty good run and if you own, you might want to consider locking in some of your gains.

HOLD

Investment grade corporate bond ETF. The run this year has been excellent so far with 15%. Outlook for interest rate is fairly stable so you will at least earn the coupon rate.

DON'T BUY

XCB, XCO: yield between government and corporate bonds are narrowing, so risk/return is not the same as it was. Would not be chasing corporate bonds.

COMMENT

iShares Cdn Corp Bond ETF. Great vehicle. Can be used in a registered account.

COMMENT

iShares Cdn Corp Bond E.T.F. If you want to play bonds through an ETF, he would do it through corporate bonds. Fairly good quarterly dividend.

DON'T BUY

Rallied well so probably take some profits here. He is not a big fan of ETFs. These are pretty good instruments, however, for broad exposure short term.

COMMENT

IShares Cdn Corp Bonds. There has been quite a bounce in this because the spreads between riskier assets have now narrowed. Looking at the overall picture he thinks bonds are going to be stable from here on in. Tendency is towards higher rates so there may be another window of 9 months. Not too much risk but would be careful.

DON'T BUY

Corporate bond ETF. An accumulation of over 300 bonds (including all the financials) and you don't know what your return is going to be. This year they have done well because corporate bonds have outperformed the bond market. With individual corporate bonds, you know what the maturity date is and what the return is going to be.

BUY

Canadian Corporate Bond Index. This is the ETF that he thinks will shine this year.
