Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Just a followup to my question about ETFs that focus on long term and mid term Treasury bonds, are there any ETFs that focus on Canadian Treasury bonds, or are the ones that you suggested (TLT, SPTL, VGLT, IEF), the best options?

Thanks again for your great work!
Asked by Marvin on May 23, 2025
5i Research Answer:

There are several ETFs that focus on Canadian bonds. 

For long-term Treasury bonds, we like XLB.

For short-term Treasury bonds, we like XSB.

For intermediate-term, there are not many bonds focused on the middle of the curve, but we think CLG can fit the bill here. Otherwise, we like aggregate bonds for this purpose (VAB).
