The iShares Russell 2000 (CAD-Hedged) ETF (XSU-T) has garnered positive reviews from market experts, highlighting its potential as an essential part of a diversified investment portfolio, particularly in the current economic climate. Experts note that the cyclical breadth is improving, with advancements in AI progressively benefiting smaller companies. This trend suggests that small-cap stocks can thrive, assuming the economy avoids a significant downturn and capital spending remains robust. Furthermore, the positive sentiment is bolstered by the expectation of a more accommodative Federal Reserve, which might focus on employment rather than inflation. As a result, infrastructure development is anticipated to spur widespread growth, making small-cap investments promising, especially for those looking beyond the larger S&P 500 companies. The underlying fundamentals point towards a burgeoning economic landscape that supports small-cap investments and emerging markets, with some experts actively trading futures to capitalize on these trends.

Terry Shaunessy(A top pick Jan 16/13. Up 19.33%.) He can see this going a lot further so would consider it a Buy. He is just waiting for the decision to move off the Cdn$ hedged and at that time he would switch from this to iShares Russell 2000 (IWM-N).
Terry ShaunessyReally likes the tilt towards small cap in value. Because Russell is a benchmark that tracks 2000 securities, you are getting a massive diversification and you are getting into the mid-cap and small-cap space. A really good way to increase your expected return.
John DeGoeyRussell 2000 is small cap, but by American standards they are pretty big companies. This tends to be a bit more domestic US oriented. Because he thinks the US itself will do well this tends to outperform the broader market initially. About a quarter of it is in small financials.
