The iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF (XIC-T) offers a diverse basket of Canadian stocks, with a particular focus on large-cap names such as RY, TD, and SHOP. While its performance has benefited from a recent rebound in the TSX, reviews vary regarding its sector weightings, notably being overweight in financials and energy. The ETF yields around 2.3%, which is attractive for income-focused investors, though alternatives like XEI or VDY may be considered for higher yields or different sector exposure. Furthermore, the comparison between XIC and XIU illustrates the trade-off between higher risk and potential returns from small- and mid-cap stocks, making it crucial for investors to assess their risk tolerance and investment priorities.

Valuation

Fair Value

XIU-T

TOP PICK

(All 3 Top Picks are cheap, pure, tax effective and broadly diversified.) This now gives you access to the Canadian broad market for only 0.05% a year.

HOLD

He would consider this as a core long-term holding. One of the biggest mistakes investors make is that the trade too often and usually at the worst time. This one has been hit hard because of Canada's commodity exposure.

COMMENT

Should I average down or Sell? This is one of his 2 favourite Cdn equity ETFs in the market right now. This has more small and mid-cap names. Hold on to it or even Buy a bit mlore and average down.

BUY

Either XIU or this one in a lot of his accounts. A long-term hold. Nothing wrong with this ETF.

COMMENT

iUnits S&P/TSX 60 ETF (XIU-T) or iShares S&P/TSX Capped Comp. ETF (XIC-T)? Of the 2, he would prefer the XIC-T. It is more diversified with 150-160 names as opposed to 60 with XIU-T. Also, the 16 names in XIU-T are large caps, which is less volatile but not as much growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 23/10. Up 11.43%.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 19/10. Up20.76%.) S&P/TSX Capped Comp. ETF. Tracks the entire broad large cap market rather than just the 60 big ones. Still a Buy.

COMMENT

S&P/TSX Capped Comp. ETF versus the S&P/TSX 60 ETF (XIU-T)? He uses both of them. Because the XIU has only 60 as opposed to 200, it will have a greater concentration in larger caps, oils and banks. Both very good indices.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 19/10. Up 16.72%.) S&P/TSX Capped Comp. ETF. Broad market ETF. Still relatively cheap. A little less than half of 1% in terms of cost. When you combine the 3 Picks, it gives you 3 of your 4 main equity components to give a cheap and broad diversification.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 4/10, Up 10%) Cheap, broadly diversified, tax effective. It’s capped.

TOP PICK

S&P/TSX Capped ETF. Broad diversified basket of about 220-230 stocks. They are capped so you don't go overboard with any one. Very cheap.

TOP PICK

S&P/TSX Capped Composite ETF. Weightings are capped at no more than 10% for any one company. Has 300 stocks.

TOP PICK

Cheap pure broadly diversified ETF. It’s capped so you are not overly exposed to any one company.

TOP PICK

S&P/TSX Comp. ETF. Basically stocks from 61 to 300 so avoids the largest names in the Cdn marketplace so more diversified with small to mid-cap names. Pretty cheap.

COMMENT

A capped index on the S&P/TSX 60 index (Canadian Large Cap). Capped so that no company can have a larger exposure than 10%.
