Q: Hi there,

Can you please suggest Canadian-listed ETFs for the bond portion of a long-term portfolio? I'm interested in diversification.

Thanks,

Chris

5i Research Answer:

We would consider VAB (aggregate), XSB (short-term), XBB (core aggregate), and ZAG (aggregate). We like aggregate ETFs for diversification across maturities.
