yeah, good deal Zavi, how did you end up buying it in March? That was great timing:)

and yes, indeed.. I think it would be easy to replicate by buying those two ETF’s

but for the CPI, not too sure I would invest in it. I am not too sure that it’s going to be hot. Why not invest in real return bond instead (inflation+interest) without the fees?

for the moment the weightings are
iShares Barclays Short Treasury Bond Fund SHV 54.09%
SPDR Barclays Capital 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF BIL 28.96%

yeah, proud to be canadian- beer commercial I’m a pro of XSP. XSP is currency hedged and XSP’s MER is only .15%. Made a great deal by buying it in March.
