Q: hello 5i:
we've owned JPIE for just under a year now and am very happy with returns, and low volatility. Two questions:
One: is performance mostly due to timing eg. expectations of lower interest rates, meaning if expectations reverse, price would fall?
Two: what would you consider to be direct competitors to JPIE, possibly with less risk, when (not if) rates begin to rise again?
thanks

Q: Hi 5iResearch team
I am in the process of doing re-weighting. I know the above etfs. The US bond etf (VGSH) has very low interest yield compared to the CAD ones (XSB, ZCS, and ZCM).
1. Are there other US bond etfs that are similar to the above CAD ones in terms of yield and risk?
2. ZUP is in CAD$ and US$. Can you please recommend two more (CAD or US) etfs that are similar to ZUP in terms of yield and risk?
Thank you for the great service.

Q: Hi Folks,
I know your main focus is stocks, but if you have some cash to invest and you don't want it it equities, would you prefer AGG or BSV right now? Or is there another bond fund alternative I should look at for $US. This is for a long term hold.
Thank you. Michael

Q: Re: Walter's question today. I have owned BSV in a non-registered account for about 18 months. 15% withholding tax is always deducted.
Q: I would like to purchase BSV for my non-registered, US-dollar denominated account. Will there be foreign tax withholding on the distributed interest? Multiple sources give conflicting answers, but most suggest that there would be no withholding tax. Thanks in advance.
