Q: Which fixed income investment instruments would be your most favourite at this time based on cost and potential returns?
Thank you,

5i Research Answer:

For upside potential, we think that long-term bonds (XLB ETF) have the best risk-reward in terms of capital gains and distributions. High yield bonds are also interesting, but we think that XLB has more downside protection than high yield bonds.
