RE: Distributions and Value

It's a bond fund... so I think your analysis is pretty well on. The issue becomes trading in and out at the appropriate times... I think you'll find that easier said than done, but good luck if that's what you are up to. I only hold this in a tax-sheltered account for the very reason you speak of. Easier than building ladders and at the MER gives you a nice distribution across income devices.
