DON'T BUY

Anybody's guess where it's going, including Cathie Wood. She plays fast, active management. High growth, highly speculative, they-don't-make-any-money-yet type of trade. Very, very volatile. Too volatile for him. Lots of people betting against her. Make sure it's not more than 5% of your portfolio.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

New technology and innovation is a good place to be for a longer term growth potential. Thematic ETFs in growth areas makes good sense. However, wait for a pullback of around 20%.

COMMENT

Loves Kathy Wood's research. There is a lot of speculation and fast money playing these names. It is speculative and will have lots of volatility. Momentum trading is doable but it is not yet a buy and forget play.

COMMENT

Large positions in small companies. Very interesting time in biotech. This fund produced unbelievable numbers in the last year. You need to look at this with a long time horizon. The fund manager's mindset impedes her ability to put new cash to work. The top 10 holdings are very similar.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Its portfolio manager has outperformed the index for a number of years. However, he hears concerns about the Ark ETFs in general is the amount of inflows of around $50 billion; as funds get bigger they have trouble exceeding return expectations. ARKK is a core strategy that he likes. Ark will continue to have new ideas for ETFs, maybe space exploration. Michael Barry (of the Big Short) is shorting these Ark funds, but long term they should return well because innovation is here to stay. But ARKK is pricey now, given holdings like Tesla. Wait for a better entry point.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The ETF has performed well with a 101% increase this year. The strategy and the positioning is good. It will be volatile and move with the sector, but for those with a longer time frame and high risk tolerance, it is a good ETF.. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

WATCH

One of his top picks long-term. The disruptive nature of tech will continue to be a trend. There is a Canadian version out now through Emerge. There may be some more correction on the way, so he would wait to purchase.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 28/19, Up 11%) Disruptive ETF, actively managed. Fintech, autonomous vehicles, next generation cloud computing. More aggressive. Make it only 5-10-15% of your portfolio at the very most. 22% annualized performance over the past 5 years, which is double the performance of the S&P.

TOP PICK

This is for the more aggressive portion of the portfolio. Actively managed ETF that invest in companies that are into disruptive innovation. Fintech, robotics, 3D printing, cloud computing, genomic revolution, etc. All over the market-cap space. It is like 85% US. MER is 0.75%. It is about tomorrow's Amazons.
