INTRODUCING THE SIMPLE STUPID RRSP

Earlier this year I decided to sell the various funds I held in my RRSP and build a simple ETF portfolio: the Keep-It-Simple-Stupid RRSP.

The portfolio has what I consider an aggressive position in stocks: 75% is in equity index funds and the remaining 25% in a Canadian short bond fund. It's composed of four ETFs, each with a 25% weighting: XIC, XSP, XIN, and XSB. I bought these funds in August. Here is how the portfolio has fared since then.
