iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility (XMU-T) has garnered positive attention from various experts, particularly Michael O'Reilly, who repeatedly highlights its position as a low-MER ETF focusing on U.S. equities with minimal volatility. Experts appreciate XMU's resilience during market downturns, noting that it ranked in the top 10% for minimizing losses during such periods in 2018 and 2022. The ETF also boasts an impressive average annual growth rate of 13% since its inception over the past decade.

(A Top Pick Aug 17/15. Up 8.77%.) Minimum volatility is the way of playing the market that a lot of people hadn’t really thought about. A lot of people were concerned about markets being frothy. If you are concerned about volatility, using low volatility products might give you a little less on the upside, but you will also get less if things drop as well.
If you are looking at a way to buy the US market in order to minimize exposure to Canada, this one gives you exposure to US stocks without having to deal with the ups and downs in what might be a volatile market going forward, you are at least getting exposure with less volatility. This is not currency hedged, so you may want to watch that because at some point he thinks currencies might start to go the other way.
