Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The XSP pays a 1.12% dividend and also charges a super-low 0.10% MER. Tech is the biggest sector at 26.74% followed by health care at 14.83%. Overall, not bad, but the VSP slightly outperforms this and charges a tick less. Also, XSP is not hedged either. XSP is one to use as a comparable during research only.

E.T.F.'s

WAIT

Excellent ETF, but a bad time to get into it, unless you have a 20-year-year horizon. Instead, wait till 2023 to consider it. He sees storm clouds in the market coming. He is bearish the S&P short-term.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XSP Has a 0.1% MER. Consider HXS for a little more tax efficiency and you can get it in U.S. dollars as well. You are getting classic exposure with the BMO S&P 500.

E.T.F.'s

PARTIAL BUY

Tracks the S&P and is hedged. She doesn't buy ETFs. But an ETF makes sense for some investors who lack the time and expertise. The wider risk is if the market keeps declining and enters a recession. She suggests buying a portion at a time and watching the market.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

An ETF for a TFSA It tracks the S&P 500, hedged against a decline in the US dollar. It's a core position for him. Solid. Also, ZWB, a covered call on Canadian banks, yielding 5.5%, a surrogate for the Canadian economy.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Caller was asking whether EQL could protect against downside in XSP. It depends what is drawing down the market. For example, if it is the Nasdaq and FAANGs, then EQL will protect you since it is underweight these big names. However, if the market is down, it will not help you.

E.T.F.'s

STRONG BUY

Hold it forever. He owns A LOT of this. Watch the currency exchange, because it's hedged. He owns hedged and unhedged. XSP protects against the decline in the USD, so that's why he loves this. Great performance.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

TFSA investment? XSP is based on the S&P500. He always has held this as a core holding in his portfolio.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Looking for a dividend-growth ETF in a TFSA. Buy the US market with this one, though it pays little yield.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Whether to own a US ETF that is CAD hedged or not For his clients, he owns both hedged and non-hedged. A small client who wants passive exposure with US cash, he'll open the US version. It depends on your view of the CAD. He wants full exposure to the USD. If you feel the CAD will weaken this year, them own the unhedged which is a solid, great way to get exposure to American stocks.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XUU vs. XSP as the better play in the US market XSP is the S&P and CAD-hedged, while the XUU is the broad US market, including the small- and mid-caps without the CAD hedge. He prefers to play in USD, because the USD is a flight to safety when world markets struggle. You want to hold USD as a general rule.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XUS-T Vs. XSP-T. They are S&P exposure, hedged and unhedged. It is a currency call. He thinks the Canadian $ will weaken into the next recession as it has in past recessions. $0.70 is within reach. The closer to 78 cents, you want that hedging. He will add back below that to his US exposure and it will be unhedged.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Buy a hedged ETF when Canadian dollar is lower? Currency decisions are an active part of their process, they are active on currency decisions, and then they use passive ETFs. Not hedged on anything right now. Canadian dollar is stuck in a range between 0.75 and 0.77 cents. Doesn’t think Canada will raise interest rates as fast as US, which means the Canadian dollar will come under pressure. If you are buying S&P now, you are buying it for a long-term portfolio with 2-5 years horizon, because in the near term you are probably not going to get much out of it. XSP is currency hedged. XUS is not currency hedged, and it’s his ETF of choice in the US. XSP should be in a portfolio and replace big US stocks. His opinion is to don’t edge it. XUS definitively affordable at 0.10% MER. You have to really watch the underlying costs when putting an ETF in your portfolio.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

VSP-T vs XSP-T vs ZSP-T. These all have exposure to the US Large Cap market, yet have different returns thus far this year. You have to be careful on these – some are currency hedged and others are not.
