The iShares DEX Short Term Bond ETF (XSB-T) is viewed as an effective solution for those approaching retirement who are looking to balance their predominantly equity-heavy portfolios with a fixed income component. Reviewers suggest that this ETF provides a structured, laddered approach to investing in corporate bonds, which can enhance cash flow through monthly distributions and reduce overall portfolio risk. The ETF's yield is noted to be around 3%, offering a reasonable income stream without the high costs associated with managing a private bond portfolio. Moreover, during market volatility, bonds traditionally act as a stabilizing force, contrasting with the performance of equities, especially in growth shocks. For those with a specific cash requirement in mind, experts recommend considering specific short-term bonds directly as an alternative to ETFs, which may better suit individual financial needs.

HOLD

Short Bond Index ETF. A laddered bond fund with a duration of 2.7 years. Gives much better rates of return than a bank would. Where you know rates are going to increase, you want to stay with a short duration.

COMMENT

Short Bond Index ETF. Price should hold up relatively well as he doesn't think interest rates will rise in the next 12 months. Not really a fan of ETF’s, as he prefers individual bonds.

COMMENT

Short Bond Index ETF. Not expecting interest rates to rise significantly next year but the bond market has already priced this in
