iShares Russell 2000(CAD-Hedged) (XSU.TO)

What is happening in the US in terms of repatriation of capital and taxes it is going to filtered through smaller companies as well. This is the Russell 2000 which is small caps edging on mid-cap.

iShares S&P 500 (CAD-Hedged) (XSP-T) or iShares Russell 2000 (CAD-Hedged) (XSU-T)? He frequently talks about factor investing, and one of the factors that is very real and very tangible is the small caps outperforming large caps over time. As a result, he expects this will give slightly higher returns, although a bit more volatile.

XSU-T and IWM-T. They broke down in September. They should find support just below here. If it breaks down below that then it has to find the next support level.

Small caps in the US are much more overvalued. He is short the Russell 2000 right now.

(A Top Pick Jan 16/13. Up 33.9%.) Just in the process of moving his taxable accounts out into other ETFs. Really nothing wrong with this, except that he wants the hedge off at this time.

(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).

Really 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.

Russell 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.

(A Top Pick Sept 1/11. Up 15.07%.) Tends to tilt towards small caps, which tend to be more valueish while large caps tend to be a little more growthy. Gives you more exposure to the US market with small caps, which are generally riskier. Would still recommend it.
