The iShares Cdn Corp Bond ETF (XCB-T) provides exposure to short-term Canadian corporate bonds, presenting a blend of potential yield alongside interest and duration risks. Unlike money market funds, XCB carries risks associated with corporate debt and does not fully mature, which heightens its sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. In contrast, ZMMK, cited as a more stable option, mitigates duration risk by operating as a money market fund. Experts express caution about bonds as an asset class, particularly given the prevailing economic conditions, tight credit spreads, and challenges tied to government debt in Canada and the U.S. For investors, especially retirees, while XCB may offer additional yield compared to government bonds, it does not appear to compensate adequately for the associated credit risks. An alternative for those seeking more stability is hinted at with ZST.

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.

TOP PICK

There is a reason to have a bias towards corporates. Not high yield or high risk. Should be 50/50 government to Corporate.

TOP PICK

Would form a good core holding for an investor. Can be paired with other two top picks. Canadian bonds will not yield as high because the situation was not as severe in Canada as in the US

BUY

Good product without buying corporate bonds at the retail level. Same for CBO-T

BUY

Basket of Canadian corporate bonds that mimics the return of the corporate bond index. Pays a quarterly dividend. Last year paid out about $1.19 a share giving a 5% plus yield. A fairly conservative way to play the credit market without putting up a lot of cash.

COMMENT

Canadian Corporate Bond iShares (XCB-T) or Canadian Universal Bond iShares (XBB-T)? Prefers the corporate bond one because if the economy turns, he feels they would do a little bit better.

BUY

Canadian corporate bonds. Mimics the return of the corporate index. A good way for a small investor to diversify into corporate bonds without having to buy 1 or 2 specific bonds. Pays between 4% and 6%.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't see a lot of capital gain potential here. He isn’t that bullish on Canadian investment grade bonds as compared to US. They are very expensive.

TOP PICK

A lot of individual investors do not want to buy individual corporate bonds because it takes up too much of their portfolio. With this one, you are basically buying a piece of the Scotia Capital Corporate Market Bond Index. There are 138 corporate names that you are getting access to. Good cross-section. A little over 4% yield.
