TOP PICK

A minimum-volatility ETF of various stocks. This diversity reduces risk. Holds 55% US stocks, so XMW is also geographically diverse.

BUY
Global Market. He likes it better than just Canada. This is a fine ETF.
COMMENT
For TFSA Unfamiliar with it. For a TFSA, it depends on your age. Focus on international stocks and avoid bonds.
BUY
Long-term in VEQT or XMW? Both are great and he can't prefer one over the other. Both will give you long-term diversification at a decent cost.
BUY
You are buying stocks that are less vulnerable to the economic cycle. If markets go down then these go down less. This is not a bad factor in selecting investments. The quality factor is those with clean balance sheets, low leverage and good divided coverage.
TOP PICK
It is less volatile shares from around the world. If you want market beta you want minimum volatility.
COMMENT
There is global fears, with Europe and some parts of Asia decreasing. Would want an ETF with about 50% US exposure.
BUY
XWD-T An even better way to harness market beta is XMW, which a minimum-volatility index ETF and reduces the risk of high-risk stocks by excluding them. You'll get the same long-term returns, maybe higher, but at lower risk. A smoother ride.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 6/12, Up 24.24%) People were worried about volatility.

BUY

Likes it. Exposure to stocks from around the world. Minimum volatility. Should be fine going forward. Large cap bias. Low cost. He uses them rarely because most clients are prepared to take a little more bouncing around.

TOP PICK

Very low volatility but gives diversification globally. You are going to have a fair amount of US stocks in this.
