BUY

This is a bonds ETF with 6 billion in assets and a MER of 0.09 so it is very cheap. The duration on the portfolio is 8 years so this gives an indication of how much the portfolio might fluctuate as interest rates change. A shorter duration means less fluctuation. There is a significant decline in these types of ETF's. ZAG is a good place to start a position and has a very good bond portfolio.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

One of the better income ETFs. But he's concerned the market is in a bubble in all assets. That said, bonds are the safest. ZAG may go up from here. A great long-term strategic hold. A leader in the bond space.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

He recently shifted into longer duration bonds. Sees interest rates leveling off, and 10-year bond yields may even drop. Preferred shares are in a bit of a downdraft, due to credit quality. 7 years duration mostly in government bonds with some corporate, all investment grade. Any downdraft in yields means a pickup in the capital.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

This is a blend of very long-term and short-term bonds. Such bonds lose money if yields keep rising. It's a long-term investment.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

Basket of Canadian bonds, with 6-8 year duration. Brand-new 52-week low today. He's not interested. Rates can go higher. Risk to the price of bonds going forward. Yield is about 3.5%.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 11/20, Down 2%) Sold because of liquidity issues. A good ETF because it has short, medium, and long-term bonds. Overall, it's good.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

Dislikes fixed income right now. Would stay away from bonds right now.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

With rising rates, bonds are not ideal. It comes down to risk/return. You might not get a great rate of return, but you preserve capital. If the stock market trades off quickly, the bond market will trade higher. He'd hold his nose and realize that everyone needs a bit of bonds to stabilize their life.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Yield to maturity is 1.25%. The coupon on the bond is higher and the bond is trading at a premium. The distribution yield is not equal to yield to maturity. He does not think that interest rates will go up for years.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

Bonds. It includes a whole lot of corporate bonds. In a risk-off market, government bond yields go down. Investment grade risk spreads are widening today. The protection you get in fixed income is not going to be fantastic. He would go to cash or shorten your duration for bonds.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Charges only 8 basis points and has held up very well.

E.T.F.'s

HOLD

Likes it and has a bunch of it. Cheap. Actively managed. Slightly beaten up, but hold onto it.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Different maturity dates. All very solid blue chip stuff. Extremely cheap ETF. He also has some ultra short bonds ETF.

E.T.F.'s

WATCH

He likes it. Cheap. Mixed of short, medium and long duration bond. He sold a lot of bond ETFs in the last couple of months. he prefers shorter duration for the time being.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

If you hold too many equities, then put more bonds into your portfolio Bond yield are a little higher lately. He likes some government bonds now since yields will hold. ZAG includes some corporate bonds. A cheap ETF at 9 basis points. This is 71% government bonds.
