TOP PICK
Great way to get exposure to broad array of asset classes. Different way to look at long/short positions. Critical to manage risks. Very complimentary addition to 60/40 portfolio.

BUY
Likes it. Seasonal is real for different asset classes. We're now in a strong US season, because of the midterm elections. natural gas and wheat have their own seasonality too. Most investors don't look at seasonality. HAC doesn't work all the time, but OVER time. A good addition to a portfolio. It has outperformed the TSX this year.
E.T.F.'s
PARTIAL BUY
Seasonal rotation ETF. It broadens the investor's horizons. It looks for historically seasonally demonstrated trends. It is worth while keeping if you don’t have anything else that looks at seasonal trends in your portfolio. It will work over time but not every time. Be disciplined and balance with the rest of your portfolio.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
It has seasonal rotation in its name. Really likes it. It's highly active with high turnover of stocks opportunistically (sort of like a hedge fund manager). This is perfectly fine for aggressive investors who can stomach the ride (i.e. HAC can shift to cash for long periods).

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 29/18, Up 7%) He uses this as an alternative allocation. It is hedge fund like without correlation to the other asset classes.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 29/17, Down 1.5%) The ETF trades very frequently. It is like a hedge fund. It gives you an absolute return that is different from your bond portfolio. 48% of assets are currently in cash. They do some ‘Sell in May and Go Away’ as in seasonal trading.

E.T.F.'s
This is an active ETF. It trades frequently and the performance is quite hedge fund like. Kind of decoupled from the market in many ways, because they trade very frequently, goes to all cash sometimes, takes Short positions using index futures, and they go to all asset classes. He uses this in a more risk tolerant investor profile, but it is a small position only.
