Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have most of my wealth in an unregistered account and would like to invest in the safety of Bonds or GIC's but I don't like that they get fully taxed. Are there any ETF's or funds you would suggest that use derivatives or some other wizardy to turn Bond/GIC income into dividends so they are taxed more favorably? All without giving the advantage back through high fees or MER?

Q: I am looking to invest in very safe very short term fixed income. I currently own PSA and CSAV in a non-registered account.
I am thinking of buying HSAV for an RRSP account and perhaps for a non-registered account. Your opinion please on HSAV - is it safe, has it been around long enough for liquidity purposes? Any comments on whether there is any preference or difference in owning this etf in either a registered versus a non-registered account? Thanks.

Q: HSAV is a new offering by Horizons that looks similar to PSA but is a corporate class fund (estimated gross yield 2.25%). I would like to hold HSAV in an unregistered account - can you provide any info regarding this ETF. Also, HCRE is about 1 year old, but has only about 26M in assets and an average trading volume of about 1,700 - thanks for any comments/info you can provide re this ETF!!
