The iShares Cdn Corp Bond ETF (XCB-T) offers exposure to a diversified basket of corporate bonds within the Canadian market. However, experts highlight concerns regarding the current state of bonds as an asset class, especially considering the prevailing government debt and deficits in Canada and the US. Many believe that bonds may struggle to keep pace with inflation, particularly in this phase of the economic cycle. For a 68-year-old retired individual with a well-diversified portfolio, investing in XCB-T can provide additional yield compared to government bonds, but it comes with heightened credit and interest rate risks due to tight credit spreads. Alternative options, like ZST, may be more appropriate for those seeking greater safety.

Consensus

Valuation

Fair Value

BND

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.
