In this episode, we take a closer look at bonds and bond ETFs, including where they can fit in a portfolio, why duration matters, and why the traditional 60/40 portfolio may not behave the way many investors expect. We also break down the key differences between owning individual bonds and bond ETFs, using recent examples like long-term U.S. Treasuries versus short-term Treasury bills to show how interest rate risk can impact returns.

We then turn to the new Avantis ETFs launched in Canada through CIBC, including why factor-based investing has attracted so much attention, how these funds differ from traditional market-cap-weighted index funds, and why investors should be careful not to treat them as a guaranteed shortcut to market outperformance. The funds may be interesting, but patience, expectations, and understanding the trade-offs still matter.
