Q: Hello
I would like your opinion on managed bond ETF's vs passive bond ETF's? Are they worth the extra fees in your opinion?

Also I have some short duration bond ETF's and 5 year ladder ETF's in my portfolio, should I just sell these and replace them with longer duration bond ETF's?

Thank you

Q: Hi Peter, looking for a suggestion of where to park $400k (from a house sale) for the next 1 year. Besides GICs and Cash ETFs is there a slightly higher risk play you would consider at this time if it was your own money ? Thank you, Paul

Q: I only use DLR / DLR.U for Norbert's Gambit, but didn't realize that they pay a distribution until you mentioned some fairly hefty yields in a recent reply.
And sure enough, the TMX website shows yields of 6.7% for DLR and 9.5% for DLR.U, but quarterly distributions of only $0.111 and $0.082 resp., resulting in an annual yield of only ~ 3% (with minor quarterly fluctuations).
Could you please explain this discrepancy?
