Q: I am attempting to increase the bond exposure in my portfolio. Would you consider XHY as a good option or a combination of other bond ETF's, if so what others would you recommend?
Thanks
Kim

5i Research Answer:

Without knowing what the rest of the portfolio looks like (also we don't offer personalized advice), we would consider a combination of an aggregate and high-yield bond ETFs for bond exposure of a portfolio. We would consider looking at VAB/AGG, as well as XHY.
