The iShares DEX Short Term Bond ETF (XSB-T) is viewed positively by experts who recommend it as a strategic addition to a retirement portfolio, particularly for those approaching retirement with a heavy equity focus. The fund offers a laddered approach to fixed income, providing a buffer against market volatility through a diverse selection of short-term corporate bonds. Experts highlight the importance of fixed income in managing risk, especially during periods of market shocks, where bonds often serve as a stabilizing force. Additionally, the ETF yields around 3%, which is seen as attractive for generating monthly cash flow. Overall, there are recommendations to consider alternative investments in quality corporate bonds directly, but the ETF remains a favorable option for those seeking convenience and lower risk.

COMMENT

He doesn't think interest rates are going much higher. This particular fund has already had its pound of flesh taken out of it. Can’t see any significant risk here.

BUY

The most efficient way to invest in the corporate bond market. MER is very low. This gives you a basket of bonds.

TOP PICK

As protection in case the Canadian equity market starts to roll over. He will buy in this money market fund, and make his 4% return and sit there until next September of next year when he will be lined up for another seasonal trade. (Buy when it snows, sell when it goes).

TOP PICK

Bond ETF. Basically a short term note. Expecting the market to have problems going into the 2nd half of this year, so he wants something that is stable. Basically gives you 4% yield while the market is rocky.

BUY

A basket of bonds, but instead of paying high MERs or transaction costs this is an index-like product. If you are not buying bonds specifically, this is a very cheap way to get into the bond market.

BUY

A passive strategy that doesn't cost that much. Very efficient from the bond market prospective.

BUY

Laddering iUnits Short Bond Index (XSB-T), iUnits Canadian Bond Market (XBB-T) and iUnits Real Return Bond (XRB-T) is an effective strategy. Low fees.

DON'T BUY

Believes the Bank Of Canada is going to raise interest rates so thinks the outperforms will come in at the longer end of the bond curve.
