Q: Hello 5I Team: I currently hold XTR & CIG686 for retirement income. If they comprise 50% of core portfolio and therefore both at about a 55% holding of bonds make up about 27% of portfolio, would you consider these types of bonds suitable for risk diversification? I also keep some cash and GICs in addition to core which amount to about 15% of core. Thank you, Larry.
