The iShares DEX Short Term Bond ETF (XSB-T) is considered a viable option for those nearing retirement and looking to reduce risk in their portfolios. Experts recommend utilizing this fixed-income ETF as a means to provide steady monthly cash flows while mitigating exposure to equities, especially important for individuals with a high percentage of equities in their RRSP. The laddered approach to fixed income offered by this ETF can be beneficial for retirees planning withdrawals in the near term, as it provides a structured way to invest in high-quality bonds. Additionally, during periods of market downturns, the ETF can act as a counterbalance to falling stock prices, capitalizing on the inverse relationship between stocks and bonds. The yield is attractive, hovering around 3%, making it a potential choice for those seeking relative safety without the burden of managing individual bonds.
