Q: Hello,

Considering selling a combination of XBB, XLB, and ZMP and purchasing some CAP REIT. Would you see this as a good move? Or hold the bond ETFs? Looking for a longer term hold.

Thanks!

5i Research Answer:

Bond ETFs should still be considered 'safer' than REITs, and certainly it is hard to compare a single company with a diversified fixed income ETF. We would be comfortable buying CAR.UN but would not see a wholesale shift out of bonds as the right approach here.
