Q: Hello, last question on bond ETFs: for diversification purposes, having in my RSP individual canadian bonds, it might be interesting to invest in VGAB or VBU for additional money in fixed income products. For a long term investment, which ETF is preferable for the next few years: VGAB or VBU (given the interest rate context, etc.)? Thanks.

Q: Hello, I plan to rebalance my portfolio in the new year, increasing my bond component in my reg accounts. I already have Canadian individual bonds in my RSP, so I was looking at VGAB for diversification, but when I compare it to XBB, it underperformed XBB for every period in the last 5 years. What do you think of VGAB and should I just keep it simple and use XBB instead? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,

If you were to do a bond ETF portfolio to complement equity and other holdings, what (Cdn-listed) ETFs would you choose for balanced exposure to a range of market environments? Long-term registered account. I am thinking:

XBB--Canadian universe
VGAB--Global universe
XSTP--Short term US inflation-linked government

Thanks.
