iShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond Index ETF (XSTP.TO)

Individual investor needs to understand inflation expectations for this product. Not the best product for laymen investors. Complex financial product that are better suited for investors.

Coming out of the pandemic, this was a big theme. Inflation roared and is still staying high. Complicated asset class. Due to the long duration, you're getting hit by the long bond selloff. Down 12-13%. Last year and this year, the short-term TIPS would've done well. You're better off owning XRB -- it's liquid, should do well as inflation remains sticky even though it's come off, and he owns it.

Not a fan of long bonds today, as rates can push higher. He prefers short-duration or inflation-protected bonds, like the XSTP.
