The iShares 1-5 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF ( NASDAQ:IGSB ) and Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF ( NYSEMKT:SCHO ) both offer short-term income at minimal costs, but they differ in their approach. The Schwab ETF sticks with government bonds at a rock-bottom expense ratio, while the iShares ETF diversifies into thousands of corporate bonds with a marginally higher fee and yield. SCHO’s exclusive focus on Treasuries will appeal to those seeking maximum safety, while IGSB mixes in investment-grade corporate bonds for potentially higher returns and yield. This analysis weighs their costs, performance, risk, and portfolio makeup to help investors decide which may fit their needs.

Welcome back to Canada Daily, the newsletter on business, economics and politics from Vancouver to Montreal and beyond. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here . It’s a tough time to be a money manager. Technology, crypto and gold are all places where, at various times last year, investors could hide from risks. All three fell off the table on Thursday. Crypto markets took another hit as the Bitcoin rout continues . The largest cryptocurrency has now tumbled by nearly half since its October peak, taking a bunch of related equities with it. One measure of how negative the sentiment is: Coinbase Global saw its shares lurch to the lowest level since February 2024 — that’s right, before Trump 2.0. The stock was pressured after Monness Crespi Hardt lowered its price target by 68%, calling assumptions of a steady recovery “foolish + facile” given the typical length of crypto bear markets. Then Coinbase reported a 20% revenue decline . The shift out of risk assets is also hammering Canadian tech investors. The TSX technology subindex has cracked this week, falling 10% in two sessions. That’s its largest two-day decline since the “Liberation Day” fiasco of last April. The artificial intelligence fear trade is spreading — and the two biggest Canadian names, Shopify and Constellation Software, have each lost more than 30% of their value this year. A tech winter, indeed. Also in this newsletter: Victor Dodig’s new job , Ontario deals with NBA bet-rigging , and who wants to tax a trillionaire ? The following was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation. Top stories Telus named former CIBC head Victor Dodig as its next CEO , replacing Darren Entwistle after his 26 years at the helm. The surprise appointment comes as the company faces pressure over slow growth and high debt levels. Entwistle, 63, transformed the company into one of Canada’s dominant wireless operators and digital firms. Dodig, who starts the CEO role July 1, has been an independent director on the ...

Steve Schwarzman has become an unlikely fixture in Japanese media of late. The Blackstone Inc. co-founder stars in a 30-second television commercial in Japanese as he touts the acumen of the world’s biggest alternative asset manager. The pitch is backed by newspaper ads and social media videos, along with a reprint of his biography. The rare media blitz is aimed at winning over what Blackstone sees as the largest private wealth opportunity outside the US — the legion of millionaires who hold a sizable chunk of the $7 trillion in cash parked in Japanese households. Blackstone and rivals such as EQT AB and KKR & Co. are trying to coax them to put more of it in private equity and credit. “The wealth channel is a gekisen — a violent war,” said CJ Morrell , Japan head of Fiera Capital Corp., a Canadian asset manager with $120 billion in assets under management. “Everyone’s fighting to get a product on the shelves.” This push into Japan marks the latest effort by some of the world’s biggest buyout funds to tap individual investors as returns wane and institutional backers grow increasingly impatient over delays in getting their money back. The retail drive is well underway in the US and Europe, and Japan has now become the focus in Asia. By any measure, the potential is staggering. Japan has 2.7 million millionaires — the fourth-largest cohort in the world after the US, China and France, and is forecast to be the fastest growing among those countries, according to UBS Group AG. Morgan Stanley predicts that Japan’s richest will inject an additional ¥397 trillion ($2.6 trillion) into the markets over the next decade, just as the return of inflation erodes gains from fixed income and cash. “People now understand ‘cash is king’ is over,” said Kaoru Fujita , managing director and head of Japan private wealth at Blackstone in Tokyo. “They need to build financial assets to compete with inflation.” Read More: Jon Gray Remakes Blackstone Into Everybody’s Investing Megastore Winnin...

Markets saw continued pressure Thursday as broader AI related fears continued to roil Wall Street. A selloff of shares in US companies perceived to be under threat from artificial intelligence spread across sectors, including more insulated corners of the market like industrials, to send all market gauges lower. Technology names, such as Cisco., AppLovin and Tyler Technologies led the decline. Cisco plunged 12% as investors are concerned hardware and memory-chip prices are weighing on the company’s outlook. Consumer staples and utilities were the top-performing sectors as investors continued to pile into defensive groups. Raphael Thuin, Head of Capital Markets Strategies at Tikehau Capital, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
Artificial intelligence is driving exponential capital expenditure growth, with just the top hyperscalers expecting to spend 70% more this year than they did last year. Recent earnings reports from Amazon , Alphabet , Meta and Microsoft revealed planned capex of more than $600 billion combined this year. In 2025, these four companies invested just over $350 billion.

Artificial intelligence is driving exponential capital expenditure growth, with just the top hyperscalers expecting to spend 70% more this year than they did last year. Recent earnings reports from Amazon , Alphabet , Meta and Microsoft revealed planned capex of more than $600 billion combined this year. In 2025, these four companies invested just over $350 billion. The staggering increase was met with mixed reactions from traders, who weighed the level of capex and tried to gauge when the companies would see returns on these investments. Shares of Amazon and Microsoft have respectively plunged 12% and 16% on the year. However, Alphabet stock is down less than 1% in 2026, while Meta has added 1%. It may take time for the answer to this question to materialize, but in the near-term some companies are already profiting from this spending. 'Early with the heavy spending' "Basically, the takeaway is that the most competent companies in the world are telling us that we're still early," said Gene Munster, co-founder of Deepwater Asset Management, in an interview. "We're just taking an approach that we need more exposure." Paul Meeks, head of technology research at Freedom Capital Markets, said that while more bearish investors believe that spending will collapse after this year, he sees it plateauing or growing more slowly from here. "These guys will not make an announcement for their '26 capital spending and then during the year, change their mind and pull it back," he told CNBC. "I've talked to the management teams of all the hyperscalers, and they see this as a real competitive advantage for them to be early with the heavy spending." Meeks also said that while some analysts have cited brewing concerns around certain chipmakers' profitability given their high spending, it seems unreasonable to expect much evidence of monetization at least at this early stage. "I'm not disappointed, because I never expected to see the goodies or the return on investment at this stage," h...
