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.
