Stockchase Insights Horizons Equal Weight Banks Index ETF HBNK-T WEAK BUY Oct 16, 2023

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

HBNK has only been around for a few months, but we have no issues with its set up or securites. We like the equal weight approach and the banking sector is very cheap right now, as it prices in high rates and a possible recession. There are always risks, but for diversified exposure we think it is buyable. It has $168M in assets and indicated yield is 5.69%. The fee rebate is a bit of a marketing thing but still nice to have.

Pretty much the same makeup as ZEB, with the 6 largest Canadian banks at equal weight, but offering 0% management fees until next summer. Likes the Canadian banks, decent growth rate. Canadian banks have cheap valuations, especially on price to book. Not as exciting as tech or cyclical names, but you'll get more of a stable ride. 


BUY

Only the big 6, nothing simpler. If you're considering starting a new position, has a fee waiver for the next little bit. Cheaper than ZEB.

Before jumping in, consider how much bank exposure you may already have in your other index funds.
