Now, Mr. Davis is among a growing chorus of experts warning that the bond market requires investors to pay closer attention. That means being able to alter duration and credit quality strategies nimbly or even moving part of a fixed income allocation into alternatives. For advisors looking to hedge against rising inflation, Mr. Farooq warns even real-return bonds, which are linked to inflation, are down 13 per cent in Canada so far this year, “so you can’t even use that as a place to park your [money].”One strategy that he, along with Mr. Davis and Mr. Kresic, points out is to move into shorter-maturity bonds as they’re less sensitive to interest rate hikes. That’s already a growing trend.
Active management, which Mr. Farooq refers to as “unconstrained mandates,” is ideal in the current environment because it allows outsourcing to an expert who is going to make calls in a portfolio that can make up for an advisor’s lack of knowledge or time. User-pay infrastructure such as toll roads, ports, railroads and airports are becoming increasingly popular options, he says, as they provide a hedge against inflation as well as a reliable income stream.
Meanwhile, Mr. Davis of BMO GAM is not as concerned. His team is preparing to buy “a lot of credit” because the economy is still good and they still expect above-trend growth for the next two years – even with rising interest rates.

Canada's working-age population is older than ever, StatsCan says | CBC NewsCanada’s working-age population is older than it has ever been, with more than one in five working adults now nearing retirement in a demographic shift that will create significant challenges to the Canadian workforce in the coming decade, according to new census figures released Wednesday. AdrienneLambCBC It me! Many aren't truly retiring any more, most are working well beyond their retirement years either out of boredom, or due to financial necessity. When our wages don't match inflation it makes it harder for younger Canadians to want to start families. Its either feeding and supporting themselves or living in abject poverty. The government needs to do better to help combat things like this.

Opinion | How much did the trucker convoy threaten Canada’s security? We may never really knowFor Canada’s international allies — notably in the United States — the nine days of official emergency in February also represented a serious test of Canada’s democratic health, Susan Delacourt writes.
