The Vanguard Retirement Income ETF Portfolio (symbol: VRIF-T) is designed to provide a balanced approach to asset allocation, consisting of approximately 33% equities and 67% fixed income. Experts appreciate the product for its potential suitability for retirees, allowing for a steady income stream. However, there are concerns regarding the significant home bias towards Canada, which may limit diversification options for investors. Some experts who previously used VRIF-T for clients have since opted to create their own portfolio arrangements, indicating a preference for more tailored investment strategies. Overall, while it is deemed a solid option based on individual income needs, there may be situations where selling units periodically could be necessary to maintain desired cash flow.

WEAK BUY

Very broad. For asset allocation, it's ~33% equities and 67% fixed income. He used to own for clients, but then moved out and started putting the blocks together himself -- mainly because this offering had too much home bias to Canada.

Good product, depending on the level of income you need. You might need to sell some units periodically. It could definitely work for a retiree.

BUY

Excellent long term investment. Low MER. Safe option for retired investors. 30% stocks and 70% bonds. Good mix of stocks and bonds. Mostly Canadian bonds. 

DON'T BUY
The challenge with the typical balance portfolio is that when you take the yield from bonds and yield from equities like dividends, it is very low. You do not have the same protections as you used to have from bonds in terms of the bonds. Because yield is so low, interest rate risk is higher than it's ever been. He has no problem with the ETF but with the whole asset class.
COMMENT
It's a new ETF and he needs to study it. He can't endorse these one-stop portfolios. True, it's a good starting point, but their asset allocations are static and don't move according to market conditions. VRIF appears to have little emerging market exposure (he'll check though), but retirees need EM exposure. Instead, buy a collection of ETFs which cover various regions.
