- Global X Active Ultra-Short Term Investment Grade Bond ETF (HFR)
- iShares Canadian HYBrid Corporate Bond Index ETF (XHB)
- PIMCO Monthly Income Fund (Canada) (PMIF)
- BMO Money Market Fund (ZMMK)
Q: I am holding all of the above in my portfolio, along with some equity etfs and a few individual stocks. In seeing your comments on BMO 95290 fund, wondering if i should replace all of these etfs with the BMO fund ? Also, if i should allocate anything to CBO or CVD for diversification.
Thanks! I appreciate your quick and thorough responses!

5i Research Answer:
We cannot personalize answers, but we would be cautious in replacing a cash fund such as ZMMK with a structured note fund. They are different animals. HFR is also a more conservative fund. XHB is 100% corporate bonds, which will also act differently. PMIF is very liquid and offers a high indicated yield. The mutual fund noted has better returns than most of these, but that's because of a differing mix of securities and risk. We would see it as complementary fund, not a replacement.
