The iShares US Aggregate Bond Index ETF (CAD-hedged) with the symbol XAGH-T has shown a notable improvement over the past year, achieving a 9.1% return, a welcome change amidst rising interest rates. Experts suggest that the ETF may benefit from a favorable bond market outlook as interest rates are anticipated to decrease. XAGH encompasses a wide range of the US bond market, including both corporate and government bonds, while providing a hedge against currency fluctuations for Canadian investors. However, there's a consideration to be made regarding the necessity of this hedge depending on predictions for the Canadian dollar's movement against the US dollar. Investors weighing the benefits of XAGH may find the US counterpart, AGG, more appealing if they expect a stable or stronger USD as it typically presents a lower cost and additional benefits from currency appreciation.
Bonds and fixed income had a tough time the last couple of years. Now that we've seen interest rates fall (despite a bit of an uptick last 2 weeks), he does like bonds. CAD version of AGG, investment-grade government and corporate bonds. Yield of about 4+%. Up about 6.5% last 3 months.
AGG is significantly cheaper at 3bps, compared to XAGH at 20 bps. So consider switching, if you don't mind the USD exposure.
