Q: What is your opinion on this bond ETF? Have owned this in an RSP for a very long time on a DRIP plan which has been extremely disappointing. Would you continue holding? Continue with the DRIP?...or just dump it and move to, say, a laddered GIC scheme. Thanks Ron
5i Research Answer:
XRB is more of a conservative bond fund with a focus on real returns/inflation protection so the return profile will tend to be a bit more tepid. We don't have much negative to say about it and are a bit agnostic here, but also wouldn't be opposed to moving to something that offers a bit more of an attractive outright yield.
