Q: Good afternoon - Our collective family portfolio ( wife and I, retired) is roughly 40% fixed income comprised solely of GICs and Pref Shares. Our pref shares are with solid companies but given the lack of appetite for PShares the total value has been slowly deteriorating. This is something you have commented on in recent months and I’m wondering if and when we should bail and if we do, where then do we invest the proceed? Thanks

Q: What do you think of a 5-year ladder of RBC Target Date bond ETF’s (RQG through RQK) for the fixed income component of Canadian RRSP’s and RRIF’s?

Also, for a $US RRSP or RRIF I am considering Invesco Senior Loan ETF (BKLN) and Highland/iBoxx Senior Load ETF (SNLN). I am aware that the NAV of these funds can be volatile, and that they may be considered somewhere between corporate bonds and high-yield bonds on the risk spectrum, but I would be buying them for the yield.

I appreciate your response.
