Q: Currently hold this ETF. Happy with the dividend but expect it may be adjusted down. Where would you see the "bottom" for the dividend rate over the next 12-24 months and what will influence it? What are your thoughts on holding this long term as an income investment. Or is it a "trader" ?

iShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond Index ETF (XSTP)
Q: Rather than buy TIP directly, I am leaning towards buying XSTP and/or XSTH. Given that they are only 15% correlated (no doubt due to the CAD-hedged aspect of XSTH) I am leaning towards buying both. What is your perspective on this scenario for an income portfolio given the current state of U.S./CAD dollar exchange rates?

Q: Hi 5i team,
If you were to do a bond ETF portfolio to complement equity and other holdings, what (Cdn-listed) ETFs would you choose for balanced exposure to a range of market environments? Long-term registered account. I am thinking:
XBB--Canadian universe
VGAB--Global universe
XSTP--Short term US inflation-linked government
Thanks.
