| PAST TOP PICK | 87.670 | Hank Cunningham | (A Top Pick Oct 30/09. Up 2.9%.) US High-yield corporate bonds ETF. Cdn$ took 1% of the return so switched to the US High Yield Bond Index Fund (XHY-T). (See Top Picks.) | 2010-07-21 | |
| WEAK BUY | 85.700 | Joey Mack | Hi Yield Corp Bond ETF. Diversification reduces risk of holding low-investment-grade bonds. Gives full exposure to high yields as an asset class. Higher asset class has performed very well over the last decade. Prefers Canadian hedged versions such as the High Yield Bond ETF (CHB-T) because of currency changes, especially in RRSPs. | 2010-06-25 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 82.980 | Hank Cunningham | (Top Pick Oct 20/09, Up 1% because of yield) They converted to a Canadian dollar hedged fund in January. He thinks you will get double-digit returns out of this fund. | 2010-06-07 | |
| BUY | 82.980 | Hank Cunningham | Hedged in Canadian $. Recommended for a TFSA. | 2010-06-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 82.980 | Hank Cunningham | Hedged in Canadian $ and well diversified. Default rate has gone down significantly in the US. Reasonable chance of double-digit returns. Yield to maturity of 9.75% | 2010-06-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 85.180 | Hank Cunningham | US High-yield corporate bonds ETF. Yielding in double-digit territory. There will be a recovery. It will be slow. Spreads will continue to grind in more narrowly. | 2009-10-30 | |
| BUY | 0.650 | Joey Mack | High Yield Space. Have had a great run. 10% as a running yield. | 2009-10-19 | |
| BUY | 83.100 | Stan Wong | High-yield bonds is a place you want to be when coming out of a recession into a bit of a recovery. Has had quite a bit of a run. Spreads between these and treasuries are now tightening a little. Could still be room to go. Pays around 10% yield. | 2009-07-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 83.100 | Christine Horoyski | An ETF that is designed to track the index of the US high yield market. The yield is anywhere from 9% to 10%. There is also currency risk attached to this because it is in US$. You have interest rate volatility and credit risk associated with it along with a currency risk. You are better off with a very strong fixed income active manager. | 2009-07-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 83.100 | Christine Horoyski | High yield bond market has been a very strong performer year-to-date but it is really coming off a very bad year in 2008. Up about 30% this year but were down 30%-35% last year. She would recommend an active high yield manager. | 2009-07-30 | |
| Comment | 77.640 | Joey Mack | This is a high yield US corporate bond fund. | 2009-06-24 |
