COMMENT

You should look at this as a proxy for the high-yield market. There was a big selloff over the last 6 weeks, because high yields have rallied so hard and so fast, there was a revaluation.

E.T.F.'s
SELL

Generally doesn’t like just high-yield, because high-yield means junk bonds. If you are relying on this for income, your money would be better off someplace else. He wouldn’t have this in his portfolios.

E.T.F.'s
SELL

With rates hitting an all-time bottom a few months ago, and now starting to creep up, and it is the longer rates that are being hurt, especially the 5-10 years duration. When they start to reinvest, they will be investing into a higher rate, but in the meantime, you’ll be seeing a drop in value. He would prefer a ladder of GICs. For the next 2 to 5 years, you are certain to lose money in a traditional bond ETF or bond mutual fund.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 27/13, Up 6.51%) Wanted a reasonable yield. Was a good performer and he uses it as an alternative to cash. It’s never going to move that much. It is US corporate securities. Paid monthly so you can be in and out of this. The fund is winding down because authorities don’t like the structure of the fund. He still uses it but recognizes that it will run off and will not be as safe as before.

With all the talk about interest rates going up, is it time to Sell or Hold if she is satisfied with just the income? Depends on how prepared you are to tough it out. He wouldn’t be surprised if in a year or 2, you didn’t make any money. Whatever money you made in income, you might lose in principal if there were some rate hikes. If all you are concerned with is the yield and you are not concerned with the NAV, it would probably be worth hanging onto.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 20/12. Up 12.79%.) Outperformed bond market fairly substantially. Any hint that interest rates were going up and he would exit this position very quickly.

E.T.F.'s
BUY

Return of capital is very tax effective as there is no tax on it. The problem with return of capital is that it is grinding down your adjusted cost base so at some point it could lead to higher taxes down the road. High-yield is not a bad way to go in the bond market. He is increasingly starting to look at this.

E.T.F.'s
COMMENT

Doing very, very well. Return expectations have been exceeded. At this point, it’s all about being very selective because some things have narrowed substantially and is not worth getting into. Unfortunately, this is a passive type of portfolio and will usually just invest in what is in the index. Don’t expect the same kind of returns this year.

SELL

Are priced to perfection. The easy money if off the table. The return won't continue. It's not sustainable.

TOP PICK
Mirrors high-yield bond fund in the US. Excellent yield of 7%. Probably at the top of its range right now. Well-managed and well diversified. You have to be very careful that if there is any hint that interest rates are going to start to rise, you don't want to be here.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
A number of bonds came off in the last week or so. But this one is also based on some junk bonds. Thinks a lot of people are buying this because they see the high yield and you wont always have that.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Advantage High Yield Bond ETF. Likes this quite a lot. Default rates on junk bonds have fallen substantially. This gives you a big, diversified portfolio. There are over 400 bonds in this one and reaching across the entire spectrum of this economy. Yield is going to be close to 8% and you might get as much as 10% this year.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
High yield corporate bond ETF. Yield is close to 7%. Lots of diversification. If interest rates look like they are starting to go up, you exit quickly.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
High Yield Bond ETF. Danger here is where people load up (like 100%) in high yield. This is a great way to play the high yield market. 2 big risks. 1) They are passive, so you are not getting a manager to pick out the better credits. 2) Not really developed in Canada so they have to go to the US for them and you could lose on currency.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
High yield (US) bond index. About 7%. It pays you return of capital. You get a much better after tax rate of return.
