Bonds and fixed income had a tough time the last couple of years. Now that we see interest rates falling (despite a bit of an uptick last 2 weeks), he does like bonds. Investment-grade government and corporate bonds.  

At 3 bps, AGG is significantly cheaper than the Canadian version, XAGH, at 20 bps. So consider buying this one, if you don't mind the USD exposure.

E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
A good time to sell AGG and buy the US index? It may be a little late because of the movement by the CAD. AGG is good because it holds both short- and long-term bonds, but the latter has been clobbered. Focus on duration. Look at Purpose's and BMO's US bonds in USD, which are more short term than AGG.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
In rising interest rate environment, a bond portfolio is going to be somewhat troubled. You have to actively trade it. You need to ask yourself how much fixed income exposure do you want and is it priced right? If rates go incredibly high, that's going to be detrimental to this type of holding. If you want bonds, you should be looking at 1-2 year vehicles. Look at some fixed income proxies that can participate in rising rates.
