Q: Given the expected economic/market conditions over the next 5+ year horizon, if you were to look into your crystal ball, would XBB be a good solid bond fund to hold for one’s safer investments ?

Q: I have recently read that actively managed bond funds or etfs, unlike equities or the same, have a better outperformance history. Can you please comment on this? Would you recommend buying into any and if so could you recommend some?
Also do you think there is more room to run from dropping rates?
Those referenced here are general passive funds.
Thanks

Peter
