This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

The BMO Long-Term US Treasury Bond Index ETF (ZTL-T) is viewed positively by experts, particularly as a protective investment during periods of economic uncertainty. With projections indicating an increased potential for market volatility in 2026, this ETF serves as a strategic tool for rebalancing portfolios when equities become undervalued. Expert reviews highlight the ETF's capacity to outperform during downturns, particularly benefiting from a harder economic landing in the US, which could trigger a rally in long bonds. However, considerations around tax implications suggest that it may not be optimal for all investor types, especially those seeking growth from their bond holdings.

If you want growth from your bond portfolio. But these don't have great tax treatment. Depends on what kind of investor you are.

Lets you buy the same bonds that are in TLT but in a Canadian wrapper. Helps avoid the USD threshold amounts for Canadian investors. Longer duration, and more volatility. He'd probably hedge half the position.

Must look at total return. Those that focus on the yield and don't understand the return are doomed to risk. Just hold TLT or ZTL -- US bonds at the long end of the treasury curve -- and don't go chasing yield.

Our PAST TOP PICK with ZTL has triggered its stop at $40.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 14%, when combined with our previous recommendations.

Jan 24, 2023
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this defensive ETF holding US long term government bonds priced in Canadian dollars, as a TOP PICK. It acts as a good hedge against a pending recession. With interest rates near expected peak levels, this is a good time to enter again. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $30) to $40, looking to achieve $55 – upside potential over 25%. Yield 3.6%

Long-duration government bonds in Canada and US after reducing stocks exposure Bonds offer opportunities in 2023, like short-term corporates. Recessions will eventually reduce interest rates, so keep duration in mind. One- or two-year play? Also, look for inflation sticking into 2024.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly A good defensive ETF holding US long term government bonds priced in Canadian dollars. A hedge against a pending recession.

A weak economy usually presents a rise in long term interest rates. If recession comes, ZTL a good option for investors. Has added to holdings in long term interest bonds. Thinks inflation will be sticky and won't lead to large increase in bonds.

Best to buy this if you already have USD, and not converting your CAD. Buying long-term bonds now is a very risky strategy if bond yields rise. Fed has already signalled it's embarking on swift unwinding. He'd be very careful of putting a lot of money into long-term bonds. Bond ETFs have not always tracked well versus individual bonds. You can probably employ a simple buy-and-hold strategy for individual bonds.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate ZTL, a low MER ETF holding long term US government bonds priced in Canadian dollars, as a defensive buy during this period of global uncertainty. Interest rates are on the rise and the ETF has taken its lumps, but we view it as a safe haven for the foreseeable future. We think of it as insurance -- as such we will not set a stop-loss nor upper price objective. It pays a yield to park your cash and we like that it is in Canadian funds -- as we expect weakness in the Canadian dollar during any sizable market pullback. Yield 3.16%
