Q: Hello, regarding HBB, is its performance over the years comparable to XBB, for example? Would you recommend HBB for a taxable account? Thanks.
Asked by Martin on December 05, 2024
5i Research Answer:

They are similar: HBB 5-year return is 0.50%; XBB 0.70%.  We would be quite comfortable with HBB for investors who wish to defer taxes and switch the tax burden to capital gains as opposed to interest.
