BMO 2013 Corporate Bond Maturity (ZXA.TO)

For RESP or short-term investor? This is relatively new in the market. These target date ETF bonds decline in maturity as time progresses and eventually turn into money market instruments. The good thing is, you eliminate duration risk. However, if there is a large outflow or inflow into the ETF, then the ETF manager has to go and buy increasingly scarce bonds.

2013 Corporate Bond Maturity ETF. Made to counter the criticism of any fund that most bond funds never mature. Gives the investor more certainty.

Prefers to ZXB because of shorter maturity dates.

This is a Bank of Montreal solution to fixed income funds with no maturity date so you don’t know what your money is going to be worth when it matures. You start out with 3 yr corporate bonds in it and as each bond matures, they buy a money market security. By the time 2013 is up you get 100% of your money back. Likes these.
