John HoodiUnits S&P/TSX Completion Index FundXMD.TOPAST TOP PICKMay 22, 2018

Exposure to Canadian mid-cap equity market across a broad number of sectors -- industrials, financials, consumer business, materials, domestic cyclicals. "Completes" the TSX 60. These companies are taking advantage of industrial activity, domestic growth, and capital spending. 

If markets broaden out beyond mega-cap AI, mid-caps are the ones that could finally start catching up (and they are). Canadians get the dividend tax credit. MER is 0.6%.

(A Top Pick August 8/17, Up 8%) This holds what’s left over from the XIU 60. Wanted to get into some smaller stuff to get better diversification, and focus on this rather than the broader-based indices.

Top Picks tonight are Canadian, because there is so much redundancy in the business. Everybody is 30%-40% financials, 15%-20% energy, 15%-20% materials. Tonight, he has picked some alternatives.The asset allocation is pretty much the same as the large cap ones with all the banks, but they are the smaller companies. At least you are getting small and mid-caps separate from all these mega caps.

The middle tier and small cap stock in Canada. It is everything, but the TSX 60. There are a lot of mining companies in it, however.
