(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.
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).
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.
He's always interested in the Horizons newsletter, but he doesn't own any of their products. It involves seasonality and market timing. If you like this sort of thing, this ETF is fine. But for him, market timing is a bit like soothsaying.
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.
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.
