Q: I have a very large sum of cash sitting in xfr at a paltry 3% yield

I'm contemplating shifting some to xfli (5.7%) and pfl:US (11.6 %) for the enhanced yield to result in a double and quadruple in monthly income

I understand there is more "risk" (interest rates, and some leverage with pfl), however,

I feel that the reward far out weighs the risk in order to increase monthly income

What do you see as a worst case scenario. I look forward to your comments.

Thank you so much

Q: Recently sold a rental house and am looking for investment in low risk but monthly payment in a non registered account. I’m not comfortable with bonds and so far have come up with either laddered GICs ( paid out every 6 months) or combination of PFL, XFR, and ZMMK. Do you have any thoughts on any of this. Which would have a the best tax rate implications? And would you have any other suggestions that would work best in the current reduced rate environment we are heading in the next few years.
Thanks

Q: Could you give me an analysis of PTY vs PFL and their respective risk profiles in this environment and the eventuality of rates rising? Which would you recommend?
Thanks for your service!
