Q: Good Morning: A two part question about CBO. First, what is the difference between CBO and CBO.A, and is one preferable to the other for retail investors? Second, and more importantly, I notice that the stated yield (on my BMO Investorline fact sheet) for CBO is currently 3.3%. In your opinion, would an increase in interest rates in the US be likely to affect this rate in a significantly negative fashion?

Q: Hi 5i team,

Could you please tell me whether this ETF pays dividends or interest income? Until now, I have been assuming that CBO pays dividends for tax purposes, but I read an article in the Globe&Mail which states that bond ETFs pay mainly interest income.

Many thanks for the great service.
