Q: I am looking to establish a 10-year bond ladder within my RRSP as part of a broader effort to balance my portfolio. At present, I’m finding that my brokerage platform (BMO InvestorLine) does not consistently provide all of the details I need to make well-informed bond purchase decisions.

Question 1:
Can you recommend reliable sources or tools that provide key bond information such as credit rating, yield to maturity, seniority, and call features for Canadian bonds?

Question 2:
Is there a bond ETF you would recommend that closely replicates the structure and cash-flow characteristics of a bond ladder, as a DIY alternative to purchasing individual bonds?

Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Last week I sent you a question about etfs and my portfolio. You answered my question and suggested I put some money in fixed income because I am 60 and retired. GICs currently appear to yield about 2.5%. Bonds seem to vary greatly. Can you suggest a fund where I would get a steady return.
Thanks Steve
