TOP PICK
Basket of large-cap global energy names. Energy sector is underinvested, and this presents a contrarian opportunity. Improving global demand for oil and gas, diminished supplies, draw down on inventories, predictions of a colder winter ahead. These large caps have strong balance sheets, strong free cashflow, more disciplined. Rising inflation bodes well.

Energy has been the top performing sector globally and IXC is the best of the global energy ETFs. With 68 unique holdings it provides global diversification, primarily with Exxon being its largest holding along with Chevron, Shell and Total as well. It is clear global energy distribution will continue to be constrained. Inflows into the fund have again risen sharply. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $43, looking to achieve $62 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 2.9%
