The U.S. blogs are starting to alight with this deal! Normally SWISS First Class is not available as an award to anyone but Miles & More Senator members but for some reason they have opened up.

Interest rates are near all time lows, which augers poorly for bond funds.
To get a glimpse of the misery on offer, let’s take a quick look at three popular exchange traded funds (ETFs) from Vanguard Canada. Just be warned, as I walk through a few back-of-the-envelope calculations, the pickings are slim for risk-averse investors.
Vanguard sells three Canadian bond ETFs and it provides a variety of interesting facts and figures on them at www.vanguardcanada.ca.

If you’re willing to take on more credit risk, you can opt for the Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (TSX:VSC), which has a yield to maturity of 2.0%. But it is the longer-term Vanguard Aggregate Bond ETF (TSX:VAB) that forms a core part of many passive portfolios…
