Q: Good afternoon - the recent runup in equities has me looking to re-balance and add more bond exposure. I currently have positions in XLB, XBB and HYG. Can you suggest bond positions ( likely ETF's) in Canada and the US, please? Just add to the existing Canadian positions? What about HYG? Time to move?

Many thanks

5i Research Answer:

We would be fine buying any of the noted ETFs. TLT can be suggested for long maturity US treasuries. CBO for laddered corporates. CVD for convertibles. BND for a very low cost 'total' bond fund. With lower rates and strong corporate earnings, we would expcet HYG to do better going forward.
