Premium contentWe again reiterate XMU, which focuses on US equities that demonstrate lower volatility over time, as a TOP PICK. What makes it particularly interesting is its lower volatility despite a 13% average annual growth since inception over 10 years ago. It also ranked in the top10% of an informal evaluation for minimizing losses during the market downturns in 2022 and 2018. We recommend maintaining the stop at $83, looking to achieve $105 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.1%

(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.
John DeGoeyThis is a new ETF with minimum volatility of US stocks. Broadly diversified.
