DON'T BUY

Problem with low-vol is that they never fall to the bottom or rise to the top. It ranges from $57-63 and it's now in the middle. These stocks could be tied to interest rates, so be careful.

RISKY

ZLB or XST protect from a market downturn?

ZLB holds low-volatile stocks in consumer (supermarkets), banks and lifecos. But ZLB is a little risky after the strong bank rally in the past year. XST focuses only on staples and groceries, which is more defensive, but it won;t necessarily rally when the market declines. For added protection, look at long-duration bonds.

BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

DON'T BUY

He doesn't buy low-vols, because they drag on performance.

BUY

It is low Beta and skewed toward the more conservative sectors. It follows sector allocations and uses a checks and balances system for individual stocks.

WEAK BUY

Doesn't generally like low vols because the performance tends to be lacklustre. But this one has been doing quite well. You could consider this one.

BUY

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.

BUY

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.

TOP PICK

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.

TOP PICK

A good way to go to the stocks that are least affected by sell-offs. Big financial and consumer side.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 11/19, Up 23%) He still holds this, and he will be shifting towards this area. He's negative on the markets.

PAST TOP PICK

(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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 11/19, Up 19%) A pretty conservative way to approach the market. Mainly utility type stocks that don’t bounce around. It’s worked quite well.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 29/19, Up 2%) He just sold it. The stock did what he wanted, a safe low-beta place to park cash over the summer. He is now back into beta, so he sold out.
