The BMO Long Corporate Bond ETF (ZLC) is viewed favorably by experts, particularly for investors anticipating rate cuts and softer economic growth. It is recommended for those looking to balance their portfolios while being cautious about business cycle risks. For higher-income investors willing to take on additional risks, high-yield bond ETFs such as XHY or ZHY may be a more appropriate choice.

Overall, those focused on long-term stability might find ZLC a suitable inclusion in their investment strategy.

COMMENT

If you expect rate cuts and softer growth, you may want ZLC or XLB. If you're a bit higher income and willing to accept business cycle risk, then you can go into high yield bond ETFs -- XHY or ZHY.

COMMENT

ZLC-T & ZIC-T. You have a little bit of credit risk in corporate. When you want safety the best bet is government, not corporate as you get exposure to corporate earnings. Do you want it for the yield or for the protection? Don't sell either one at the moment.

DON'T BUY

If interest rates goes back, then you can get really hurt. If you want long-term, you can have some short duration bonds. ZST is a short term bond. He wouldn't buy it right now.

HOLD

Short vs. long term bonds. Generally as the expectation comes for rate hikes, you want longer term bonds. You don’t want corporate because if the economic slows, you just want government bonds.

BUY

Bonds don't yield much. ZLC's average yield to maturity is 3.9% with a duration of 13, which means that if interest rates rise by 1% this loses 13%. If you expect a recession, this is great. He doesn't forsee a recession though. This lets you piggybank on BMO's liquidity.

WATCH

The ZLC-T is a lot like the market. Corporate long bonds are a call on the market. If this one can break out then it would be a good place to be. If we eventually get rates rising, then this would be the first one to drop.

COMMENT

Corporate debt is not assessable to most retail investors. How can I invest? There are others, but this is as good as any. It is hard to get good corporate bonds, and an ETF is a good way to play it. If you are going to be in the bond market, this is where you should be. The yields are a little better. Bear in mind that corporates are not going to be immune to higher interest rates and the impact it is going to have.

DON'T BUY

Long corporate bonds. 4.5%. They have a higher interest rate risk than shorter bonds.

TOP PICK

His theme today is Defensive. This one is really for his bond holdings. Short-term bond holdings are not yielding so this puts him out on the longer end of the yield curve and also gives him some credit exposure. He won't hold this one for a very long time, probably by the end of this year or maybe early 2013, because of the risk of rising interest rates.
