COMMENT

US low volatility ETF? He likes the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility (USMN-N). Low volatility has outperformed recently, but only because volatility has gone up. If we have an economy that accelerates in the US, you may want to own a more growthier name, which may not be low volatility.

COMMENT

ZLU is a top choice ETF of the US market -- he believes it is not currency hedged to the CAD dollar. He likes the lower volatility holdings. Good for conservative investors. He also likes the USMV ETF.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 04/19, Down 1%) Lower volatility strategy by about 20% than the broader S&P, for times like today, but with the same returns (about 10% annualized).
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 27/20, Up 9%) Does well in tougher environments. But the market's strong right now. When we get into trouble again, he may look at the name once more.
