Q: Hello 5i,
I’m helping a conservative investor with a tfsa. Vbal makes up half of the account.
In trying to boost monthly income I’ve come up with the above etfs.
Based on 2020 distributions,how would each of the above etfs be taxed if held in a tfsa?
Also, can you please verify the sector exposure of zup (similar to pff - usd) I thought the financial % was underweight.

Q: Hi 5iResearch team
I am in the process of doing re-weighting. I know the above etfs. The US bond etf (VGSH) has very low interest yield compared to the CAD ones (XSB, ZCS, and ZCM).
1. Are there other US bond etfs that are similar to the above CAD ones in terms of yield and risk?
2. ZUP is in CAD$ and US$. Can you please recommend two more (CAD or US) etfs that are similar to ZUP in terms of yield and risk?
Thank you for the great service.
Q: I have US dollars to invest. I am looking for relatively safe income investments such as a US$ REIT or a preferred ETF something like ZUP but in US$. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
