The iShares S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index ETF (XEG-T) is regarded as a strong choice for Canadian oil exposure, often recommended for investors seeking growth from the energy sector. Experts advocate for its diversification benefits, particularly for those looking to retain exposure while researching specific stocks. Although some believe any short-term benefits to the Canadian oil market may be transient, they acknowledge that current geopolitical factors are driving prices higher, making XEG a timely investment. The ETF's recent performance suggests a breakout to new highs, with many experts viewing it as the start of a bull market in energy. Overall, XEG provides a reasonable risk/reward profile, especially for those bullish on energy prices in the coming years.
Broadly dominated (over 50%) by the top couple of holdings. Couple of other options include HOG, a midstream provider and more diversified. BMO has an equal weight index too. He'd skew to equal weight, rather than market cap. If we get into stagflation, commodities do well, and you want an asset class that has structural ties to that. Edge your position in over time.
A bit tricky in that Suncor is a big part of it. If you really believe and want to invest in oil, particularly in Western Canada, the guys that are going to get the biggest kicks are the ones that have been hammered down. The boys out West have done a really good job in cutting costs. They have survived. Some of them have managed to get back into a bit of a growth pattern. If we do get a lift in oil prices in the mid-$50, mid-$60 a lot of these are going to do okay.
