DON'T BUY

It holds ultra-short term investment-grade bonds. MER is 40 basic points. The chart was smooth pre-COVID, then plunged 20% during the sell-off, then recovered. When times are calm, they act like bonds. When risk spikes in a crisis, there's volatility. This falls in line with your equities. He's surprised this had this much of a correction. Something to be aware of. This isn't sovereign debt. Consider sovereign instead.

COMMENT

He has recommended this before, but it too was hit hard when the market declined. He asked one of the big bond desks about liquidity issues and when they said it was drying up, he sold out. What people need to understand is that bonds trade over the counter, not through an exchange. When the liquidity drives up, this negatively impacts bond values.

DON'T BUY

Floating rate notes are not much better for a rising rate environment. You want short term inflation indexed notes. With all this money printing going on we will get a secondary inflation hit the year after next.

BUY

This is swap based which is not exactly like just buying a bond. There is an exchange of the rate of the return. A good place to park your money while getting yield.

BUY

Has a whole bunch. Price moves very little. Has held it for years. Good place to park money. Dividend around 2.25%.

BUY

Is there a short-term ETF to park your cash and earn a little yield? HFR-T and ZST.L-T earns up to 2%. He uses both.

BUY

Where to put CASH? For floating rate notes, the coupon payment goes up as it adjusts. HFR-T is an ETF for this. It is an actively managed ETF. He just put 10% of one portfolio into this.

BUY

Where to park cash in an ETF? He uses HFR-T. It's very short term, like 2-3 months in bond duration. Very little volatility with this. The price never moves much, sticking around $10

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 29/17, Up 1%) We considered the risk of this ETF to be as low as the bond market. It is boring. You can get 1-2% yield coming out of it. It is a safe, boring investment.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 6/16. Up 3%.) Has a lot of this. It’s a great place to park money. You don’t have the duration risks that you have with the other bond ETF’s. It will do better than a Money market.

TOP PICK

This does not have the duration risk of others. It brings down the duration of the bond portfolio. It is actively managed. It is a bit of a risk mitigater.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 19/16, Up 5%) He went into buy it for the return. It never changes price much. It yields about 2%. A complicated structure but he likes putting money there.

TOP PICK

This is a great place to park money. It never varies very much. You are less interest rate vulnerable.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 07/15, Up 1.20%) This is a place to park money. It really does not move.

SELL

There is not much upside in a floating rate security in Canada right now. This is not a vehicle that is going to earn you very much return here.
