Q: I have no Bond investments and would add to my TFSA and RRSP's. Are there any other that I should consider. Thanks

Asked by David on February 24, 2026

5i Research Answer:

We think BND makes sense for US exposure (more general. XHY is high-yield).

Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in XHY.
