John Hood BMO 2015 Corporate Bond Maturity ZXB-T TOP PICK Oct 26, 2012

Basically this has a bunch of bonds that are essentially maturing in 2015, which they roll into T-bills. It’s almost like having the actual bond but you have a little bit more diversification.

(A Top Pick September 17/12. Up 1.59%.) Likes this. To avoid the issue of premium priced bonds, as they roll into the next year, they start rolling out of those bonds and going into T-bills.

(Top Pick Oct 26/12, Up 1.53%) You are trying to avoid having bonds which were bought at a premium so when they mature you get a loss.

Bond fund that gives the approximate return of a 1 year bond. It is going down because of the coupon payout and you are getting some of your capital back. The total return is positive over the last year.
