You already hold 1 more asset class than me (bonds!)
I would replace VAB with XAW in TFSA ( but, thats just me!)
Good luck!
I've tried to wrap my head around 100% equities, but I just can't do it. But I respect it :)
Regarding Corporate Bonds, it appears I can get a little more exposure with ZAG rather than VAB:
From
CCP...
One small point to be aware of: VAB and ZAG have slightly different risk exposures. The Vanguard ETF is roughly 80% government bonds and 20% corporates, while ZAG is closer to 70% government and 30% corporates, which explains its slightly higher yield to maturity.
I don't know whether or not preferred shares are worth mucking around with. I suppose I'm looking to hedge my exposure to rate increases. Prefs would do that, but there is a cost via higher management fees and increased volatility.
It's entirely possible that I'm over thinking this.
