TOP PICK
The banks pay high dividends and are in strong seasonality. The chart has been sideways since early 2022, but investors need a good place to hide, which is here. But if there's a recession, banks will underperform.

COMMENT
Has owned this in the past, but not now. Believes his team has a better than average ability to outperform by picking their favourite banks. See his Top Picks.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks If the thought of tech makes you seasick, then stick to tried, true and seasonal investments. In Canada, this means banks and ZEB-T is the go-to ETF. ZEB holds the the Big Six banks equally, as the name implies, pays a 4.12% dividend yield and charges a 0.6% MER. Read 3 Momentum Stocks to Switch Out for our full analysis.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Holds the Canadian banks equally. Good if you don't want to buy a single bank. Gives great diversification at a low MER. Canadian banks are stable though we are in a high-inflation market which could make it challenging for banks in the short term, but fine in the long.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Macros winds should push ZEB stock higher. Given the fall in commodity prices (i.e. oil, copper), inflation appears to have peaked and market nerves are calming. Certainly, housing and the wider market are slowing down, but it’s no slam dunk that we are marching into a recession. Given these factors, the banks should continue to climb, as they traditionally in the second half of the year, according to seasonality. ZEB stock pays a 3.33% dividend yield, and charges an 0.6% MER. An alternative is to buy one of the stocks held in this basket, though it’s always a case of guessing which bank will come out on top in a given year. ZEB stock avoids that game.

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Optimistic about future of Canadian banks. Recent market sell off doesn't affect underlying business. Strong banking system in Canada.
E.T.F.'s
BUY on WEAKNESS
A bit leery on the banks right now. Would be adding on weakness but currently a slight underperformer.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Canadian banks have always been a good investment. Don't see this changing now. From a trading perspective, should see a bounce soon to around $39 and then another drop. Can buy low and hold for 5 years. Dividends are probably going to continue to grow.
E.T.F.'s
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 23/21, Up 36%) Banks have done well and are getting close to the end of the seasonal period so there may be some weakness. Reducing exposure.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Once you get liquidity issues, ie. no buyers, the price of bonds can drop really fast. So he sold his long bond ETFs. Instead, he bought ZEB as a bond substitute, which holds all 6 Canadian banks. Its MER used to be too high for him, but they recently chopped it to 25 bps, so he bought. But see his Top Picks for a bond ETF.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
For active investments with covered calls, you need to think about what type of exposure you want. Consider the different types of exposures to Canadian banks. It is not early, so would not be adding new money. However, he is overweight and thematically, it is good. Good on a relative basis.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks BMO's Equal-Weight Banks ETF, outperformed ZFN last year by 2%. As the name suggests, ZEB holds the big six banks more or less equally. It charges an MER similar to ZFN's at 0.6%, but pays a higher dividend of 3.33%. Volumes are more robust at an average of 612,000. And like XFN, ZEB is currently trading at 52-week highs.

E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
Strategic positioning, rather than buying individual names, since he might be in the sector for only 3 months or so. Seasonality from October to end of December, and also from mid-January to April. He's overweight Canadian banks at this time. They've been performing well, as they do when markets are volatile. Will do well if rates go up. Sweet spot. Yield as a group is about 4%.
E.T.F.'s
HOLD
Domestically, he doesn't generally use ETFs, saving those for foreign exposure instead. Overall, banks are good to be in right now, given world uncertainties. Rules being relaxed means share buybacks and dividend increases. Earnings potential over the next year will stall out, until the economy gets more settled. Prime area to hold for safety.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
Question on underlying dividend increase. ZEB yields will rise with dividend increases from the underlying stocks. For ZWB, the dividend increase will increase yield, but much of the performance comes from the volatility and the premium.
