Q: Generally speaking what would your percent allocation of the above ETF's be in ones bond portfolio?
5i Research Answer:
XSB and XSH are quite similar, so we would weight them in an equal manner. XBB offers exposure to the braod bond universe in Canada, so this likely makes sense for the largest weighting in the group. XHY is higher risk, so we would put it at the lower end.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in XHY.
