BUY
Canadian Corporate Bond ETF. Spread between corporate and government bonds have narrowed a fair bit. Owning an ETF in the sector makes a lot of sense. Better diversification.
COMMENT
Canadian corporate bond ETF. Bonds have had a pretty good run and if you own, you might want to consider locking in some of your gains.
HOLD
Investment grade corporate bond ETF. The run this year has been excellent so far with 15%. Outlook for interest rate is fairly stable so you will at least earn the coupon rate.
DON'T BUY
XCB, XCO: yield between government and corporate bonds are narrowing, so risk/return is not the same as it was. Would not be chasing corporate bonds.
COMMENT
iShares Cdn Corp Bond ETF. Great vehicle. Can be used in a registered account.
COMMENT
iShares Cdn Corp Bond E.T.F. If you want to play bonds through an ETF, he would do it through corporate bonds. Fairly good quarterly dividend.
DON'T BUY
Rallied well so probably take some profits here. He is not a big fan of ETFs. These are pretty good instruments, however, for broad exposure short term.
COMMENT
IShares Cdn Corp Bonds. There has been quite a bounce in this because the spreads between riskier assets have now narrowed. Looking at the overall picture he thinks bonds are going to be stable from here on in. Tendency is towards higher rates so there may be another window of 9 months. Not too much risk but would be careful.
DON'T BUY
Corporate bond ETF. An accumulation of over 300 bonds (including all the financials) and you don't know what your return is going to be. This year they have done well because corporate bonds have outperformed the bond market. With individual corporate bonds, you know what the maturity date is and what the return is going to be.
BUY
Canadian Corporate Bond Index. This is the ETF that he thinks will shine this year.
TOP PICK
There is a reason to have a bias towards corporates. Not high yield or high risk. Should be 50/50 government to Corporate.
TOP PICK
Would form a good core holding for an investor. Can be paired with other two top picks. Canadian bonds will not yield as high because the situation was not as severe in Canada as in the US
BUY
Good product without buying corporate bonds at the retail level. Same for CBO-T
BUY
Basket of Canadian corporate bonds that mimics the return of the corporate bond index. Pays a quarterly dividend. Last year paid out about $1.19 a share giving a 5% plus yield. A fairly conservative way to play the credit market without putting up a lot of cash.
COMMENT
Canadian Corporate Bond iShares (XCB-T) or Canadian Universal Bond iShares (XBB-T)? Prefers the corporate bond one because if the economy turns, he feels they would do a little bit better.
