Q: I am all equities in my RSP and RIF portfolio. Although a solid blue chip list of Cdn, US, some international, I would like to mitigate risk by adding one or two bond etf's (cdn dollar). These can be Canadian bonds or a combination NA and global. Please offer one or two...and are we looking at shorter duration or longer in light of current interest rate environment/future outlook. Ideally 4%+ yield

Q: Greetings 5i, I am concerned about the current outlook for preferred shares, say 1 - 3 year horizon. What is your opinion on a switch from preferreds to short - mid term bond etfs over this time period? Thank you.

Q: Generally speaking, within one's bond portfolio what percentages of the portfolio would you allocate to the three ETF's mentioned.
