Q: Hello, I have a small position in ZST . I like to add more bonds for safety and income .
I have been looking at : XSB and XBB and ZAG as they hold Government bonds . Can I assume that by holding one of these to diversify or a combination will do the trick !! ?
Thank you
Carlo

5i Research Answer:
XBB and ZAG are aggregate bond ETFs and give broad exposure to Canadian bonds. XSB is more focused on short-term bonds. One of XBB or ZAG or a mix of them would give broad diversification within Canadian Fixed Income.
