COMMENT

This is investing in continental Europe, and on a minimum volatility basis. The product has done reasonably well in the recent past. Continental Europe is a good diversifier. If you want to have equity exposure and you want to get out of Canada, and are a relatively nervous investor, this is probably a good way to do it.

TOP PICK

There are better opportunities now in Europe and Japan. This gives you a broader exposure across Europe of all the countries, with a little bit less on the UK. Also, there is a better mix in terms of stability in the sectors. In the last 3 years, there has been significant outperformance on this ETF, but last year underperformance. Good dividend yield.
