The BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF (ZLB-T) is noted for its effectiveness in capitalizing on low volatility within the Canadian market. Experts suggest that this approach is beneficial for investors looking to adopt a more conservative investment strategy while still gaining exposure to equity markets. Unlike the low volatility strategy in the U.S., which may not perform as well, the evidence indicates that this factor is applicable and advantageous in Canada. This ETF is particularly suitable for risk-averse investors seeking stability without completely forfeiting growth opportunities. Overall, ZLB-T is positioned to cater to the needs of those wanting a balanced yet cautious approach to equity investing.
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.
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.
