(A Top Pick Aug 17/15. Up 8.77%.) Minimum volatility is the way of playing the market that a lot of people hadn’t really thought about. A lot of people were concerned about markets being frothy. If you are concerned about volatility, using low volatility products might give you a little less on the upside, but you will also get less if things drop as well.
If you are looking at a way to buy the US market in order to minimize exposure to Canada, this one gives you exposure to US stocks without having to deal with the ups and downs in what might be a volatile market going forward, you are at least getting exposure with less volatility. This is not currency hedged, so you may want to watch that because at some point he thinks currencies might start to go the other way.
