I don't really like the "trusts of trusts" because I figure I can build my own portfolio and avoid the management fees. However there are some high yield funds that are a mix of income trusts and corporate bonds. These interest me because they are much less risky because of the fixed income component. They seem to yield 9-10% and that should be pretty safe. I'm looking at buying a wack of them for my RRSP and than just forgetting about them. 10% over 7 years is a double the relaxing way.

I'm not sure that you can get value from these fund of funds, since you are paying management fees twice, for less than $10K maybe OK, I'd take a look at the Saxon fund as well if you are looking, I like that family. I held some Sentry some years back. Scott
