Q: Hello 5i Guys

I have GIC maturing soon and looking for substitute as rates are too low.

I've looked at ZCS and ZLC as replacement.

I understand Bond funds are not without risk compared to GCI

But do these 2 Bonds funds look like suitable (Low Risk) investments rather than a low rate GIC?

Thanks as ever
Ken

Q: XLB and ZLC are my primary bond holdings. With the rather abrupt steepening of the yield curve, would you recommend selling both of these and replacing them with shorter term funds ? If so, which funds would you recommend ?

Thanks,
Mark

Q: Canada's interest rate has dropped, and bank GIC and HISA rates have followed suit. The ZLC BMO Long Corporate Bond ETF is offering a 4.83% return. Can this investment completely replace my HISA or GIC? I've previously invested a significant amount in ZLC, and with the recent dip in price, I'm considering continuing to buy more to replace my GIC and HISA ETF. I suspect this might be the last opportunity to buy bonds at a low price. I'd appreciate your insights. Thanks.
