Q: Hi Peter
I have been overweight stocks for some time, and while it may still a bit premature, for piece of mind I would like to increase my fixed income weighting to approx. 30%. My feeling is that over the next 2-3 years interest rates in the US will slowly trend higher, and likely even more slowly in Canada. With this in mind, my bias is to allocate towards shorter term corp bonds, REITS, and Preferred issues (recognizing that the latter two are more fixed income proxies more than true plays). For each of these sectors do you think I am best allocating exposure via ETF's (for example, VSC, ZRE and XPF), or do you think that there is a case to be made for buying best of breed individual issues in each class. Specifically in concerns with the ETF approach is that slightly higher rates over time may see a fall in the price of VSC negate all of the dividend benefit (whereas holding an individual bond to maturity will ensure I earn a return), while I understand that there may be inefficiencies within the Canadian Preferred market (pricing/liquidity) which mean that an ETF may not be the best approach here either. Your thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks.
