Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Dear 5i team.

Ref. my Q of Nov 4,24 re: Long bonds.
As a followup, at the time, the US 10 yr was 4.3%. It appears to now have broken the 5% mark, and possibly heading higher. I've read in the past to keep an eye on the 10yr bond as a "canary in the coal mine" scenerio.
Can you update your views on this please, with more commentary re: the elasticity of the 10 yr and how this could impact equity/bond markets? Any possible moves DIY investors should be considering as a result of your commentary?

Many thanks for your help understanding this relationship.

Q: I am preparing for the sky to fall in coming weeks if not days and may pivot right out of equities, or at least anything remotely tech/risky. My question: can you recommend any monthly pay bond etfs or similarly vehicles where I can sell at any time and don't have to lock in, even for 30 days, so that I can realize some income from the portfolio? Looking to have my cake and eat it too! Thank you.

Q: Follow-up to my question about CIB238 and PSA. Thanks for the explanation. You indicated that CIB238 pays a yield of 4.8% while PSA pays 3.4%. Are these current comparable yields? CIB238 seems high. Could the CIB238 be the yield over the past year while PSA is the current yield? If it was your $100k, which would you invest in to park money?

Q: Hi, I am parking some cash in an investment account both CAN and US $, I will not need the funds for quite a few years, I am thinking 50% of the amount in each account to PSA and PSU.U. Could you suggest a CAN etf and US etf that I should consider for the other 50% in each.

Q: In my US fixed income I have a half a position in TLT. Im down 10% and looking to add to this position or buy another stock with yield and some capital gain. I believe the US bond market is selling another round of bonds today and tomorrow without much interest in long term bonds.

Thanks Greg

Q: Hello

I have been accumulating short term bonds ETFs and ladder ETFs. Now in a new cycle should one focus on accumulating long binds such as XLB. Also do you have a active bond
ETF name you recommend?

Thank you

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
