- iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Preferred Share Index ETF (CPD)
- BMO Laddered Preferred Share Index ETF (ZPR)
Q: I think I misunderstood your previous answers on ZPR to mean it was the better preferred ETF to be in considering it holds rate resets, which should go up as interest rates rise. However, your last answer indicated it holds significant long exposure preferreds, which would cause it to fall more heavily under the current environment?
To be clear, what is your best idea for a preferred ETF right now?

Q: As a 50 year old with a defined benefits pension, to kick in when I retire in about 5 years, would ZGRO be ok, switching to ZBAL over the years?
Is the only difference between ZGRO and ZBAL the allocation between equities and bonds?
Thanks,

Q: We have money in a “high interest” saving account at 1.5 percent. With inflation growing, what alternatives would you suggest (mutual funds, ETFs) for funds sets aside for emergencies? Or, perhaps is the 1.5 percent fine given the nature of these savings(
Q: With more concern about an economic slow down or hopefully not, recession on the horizon, I have been thinking about being more defensive than I have been in the past.
So, I was wondering how well did the Low Volatility ETF's hold up during the big meltdown of 2020, and did they actually do the job that the name implies, and not go down as much as the rest of the TSX.
Would you be more inclined to just hold some XIU, or just ZLB, or both, along with 10-15 individual highest conviction stocks, and try to enjoy the next 6-12 months some what worry free.
Thanks

Q: Given your recent answer regarding CROX, I had a look at the sector and noticed big moves yesterday. Also many of these are very near lows for the year. My question is would you put money to work in the sector now? Do you have a few favourites and is there an ETF that emphasizes this retail/clothing part of consumer discretionary as opposed to something like XLY which emphasizes very different segments? Thank-you again.
Q: ZPR continues to slide. Can you explain why, given rising rates should be helping? Do you see it coming back or is it time to exit. Pref's always seems to be a burn. Thanks.
Q: Hi,
With interest rates going up, why isn't CPD also going up? I would have though the rate reset prefs would get better traction in a rising rate environment.
Thanks
