From his team's research, low volatility is a fairly good factor to use in Canada. In Canada it seems to work (though in the US it doesn't). Appropriate for investors who want to take a fairly conservative stance but still want to participate in equity markets.

Portfolio of low-beta stocks. Consumer staples, some financials, utilities. MER is 39 bps, not exactly cheap but not overly expensive. For the investor looking for dividends plus a low ride in the equity market. 

Consumer staples and utilities in Canada aren't cheap right now, as people flock to safety. At some point, investors will move away from the safe stuff and more into risk-on equities like technology, financials, and industrials. He's not in the recession camp right now, so he wouldn't want to hold a big chunk of consumer staples.

Won't see much tech in ETFs like this. It is not guaranteed to go up when the markets go down, but generally, should do better in volatility. Not a bad idea to increase exposure to low volatility here.

Get similar or better returns with less risk, beta, volatility. Well constructed product. Skews more to certain sectors like utilities and financial services, so you'll see underperformance. For 5-10-15-20 years, it's a thoughtful way to get returns from the market. Try XMV, which creates a portfolio of minimum volatility. You could use these 2 ETFs together.

We can use low volatility now. Jan. 12-May 18 is seasonality. ZLB has held out better than the market lately and today. Holds utilities and REITs. It's a defensive bet. Who knows how long this volatility will last? You want to be in utilities.

(A Top Pick Mar 12/19, Up 15%) It has been a good performer since its inception. It moved out of Canadian energy stocks at a pivotal time based on its rules based methodology. It looks for the lowest beta Canadian stocks. This is an actively managed fund he feels as it has a human element to it as well. A conservative investor would like this one and could perhaps match it with a lower cost passively managed fund.

His more conservative side. Low volatility stocks do very well when markets get dicey. It hasn’t been a bad ETF to be in through various market cycles. Mostly banks and utilities with virtually no energy stocks.
