(Past Top Pick on August 8, 2017, Up 7%) More diverse and better than XIU, though he's not buying this--or any Canadian equities now.
Top Picks tonight are Canadian, because there is so much redundancy in the business. Everybody is 30%-40% financials, 15%-20% energy, 15%-20% materials. Tonight, he has picked some alternatives.The asset allocation is pretty much the same as the large cap ones with all the banks, but they are the smaller companies. At least you are getting small and mid-caps separate from all these mega caps.

The middle tier and small cap stock in Canada. It is everything, but the TSX 60. There are a lot of mining companies in it, however.
(A Top Pick August 8/17, Up 8%) This holds what’s left over from the XIU 60. Wanted to get into some smaller stuff to get better diversification, and focus on this rather than the broader-based indices.
