This iShares ETF focuses on global equities (60% North American) - providing excellent market diversification.  It targets companies that demonstrate lower volatility over time along with growth potential.  What makes it particularly interesting is its lower volatility despite a 10% 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 setting a stop-loss at $50, looking to achieve $68 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 2.3%

Long-term in VEQT or XMW? Both are great and he can't prefer one over the other. Both will give you long-term diversification at a decent cost.

You are buying stocks that are less vulnerable to the economic cycle. If markets go down then these go down less. This is not a bad factor in selecting investments. The quality factor is those with clean balance sheets, low leverage and good divided coverage.

XWD-T An even better way to harness market beta is XMW, which a minimum-volatility index ETF and reduces the risk of high-risk stocks by excluding them. You'll get the same long-term returns, maybe higher, but at lower risk. A smoother ride.

Likes it. Exposure to stocks from around the world. Minimum volatility. Should be fine going forward. Large cap bias. Low cost. He uses them rarely because most clients are prepared to take a little more bouncing around.
