Q: Looking to add some longer duration bonds with inflation and interest rates dropping. You think this is a good move. Already own lpay, zst and cbil and looking for diversification, any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and have a great day.

Q: I have held these three funds since early 2016 for the stability component (maintain capital and some income) in my portfolio. The annual MER's are .44, .86 and .84. respectively, I have series F in the PMO funds. Extra year end distributions for the PMO funds were nice but they stopped after 2018 year end.

Their total capital growth has been very modest, about 2-4% total over several years.

I am not too comfortable with the higher annual MER's.

Could you comment if I might see significant capital drop if interest rates go up? Also, could you recommend any different holding or stock that I may consider instead of these funds for stability and income?

Thank You.

Q: Please comment on the uptick of the US investment grade corporate bond ETF XIG today. Do you still feel this is a suitable complement to a core fixed income holding of ZAG? Thank-you.
