PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 20/19, Down 15%) He still likes it. It's for income investors. He has an underweight in all the underlying securities in this ETF. He's waiting to see what volatility will be like before buying them. HUTL holds 30% precious metals, which is driving its growth. This ETF has been down because utilities have declined due to volatility.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
A decent ETF. HUTL is globally diversified, fine, but his one concern is that utilities. He predicts global growth to be higher in 2021 than the consensus. Look also at Wisdom Tree ... Look at Asia. EUFN-Q offers a good dividend yield.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Those looking for global diversification, invested in utilities, with an enhanced yield will like HUTL. We like that about one-third of the portfolio is in US equities, Canada is just over 10%, with Europe representing the rest. It uses a covered-call writing strategy to boost the dividend yield from a portfolio average of 4.0% up over 7.5%. The MER is only 0.5%. In a market that is priced efficiently, this is a good diversification strategy. Yield 7.73%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With overriding concerns growing about the state of markets, we again reiterate this defensive global utility ETF priced in Canadian dollars as a TOP PICK. Utilities are better able to manage inflationary pressures and rising interest rates than most companies as these costs are able to be passed directly along to the consumer. We like the global diversification and its yield. We recommend sliding the stop loss down to $17.75 to account for current market volatility. Yield 7.4%

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 17/22, Down 2.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with HMUTL has triggered its stop $17.75. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with the previous buy recommendation, this will result in net investment loss of 6%.

Both offer similar exposure. He doesn't looked at HUTL's foreign exposure, but likes both as a strategy. They take turns outperforming each other. Even. Both are good.
