Q: Hello,

I need to increase the fixed income component of my portfolio. XBB and CBO make up 12% of my portfolio. Please suggest a few more CDN fixed income ETF's I could invest in. I am retired so a more conservative approach is what I am looking for.

Thanks for all your help.

Q: Which fund would you put more money into as I have only enough money for 1 ETF. I currently owned both in a RRSP and ZAG is in a lost position so could average down or add to VEE as the upsize looked better for this ETF than ZAG?

Thanks

Q: Bond ETF's like XLB have performed poorly in the face of peak interest rates and pending Fed rate cuts. Could you offer some insight as to why there has been recent weak demand for US treasuries, whether you see that trend continuing in the near term and at what point bonds may become a rewarding investment?
