5 ETFs for Index Investing
Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

The Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (VFV-T) is a very popular option for exposure to the S&P 500, particularly for long-term investors. While it offers good performance and is a great starting point for beginners, it comes with concentration risk and high exposure to tech and communications sectors. It has a relatively low expense ratio but may face risks of rotation into other sectors. When compared to ZDY, it is more heavily exposed to tech and communications and has higher valuations.

Consensus

Valuation
Fair Value
BUY

Very popular option for S&P 500 exposure. High exposure to "Magnificent 7". Very good performance the past 10 years. Good option for long term investors. Must be prepared to hold for 10 years (avoid market sell offs). 

E.T.F.'s
WEAK BUY
Beginner's exposure to US companies.

Vanguard is a great place to start. Keep in mind that the S&P is broad market-cap exposure, so it's price x outstanding shares, with no connection to value. Rather, it's more a momentum strategy. Leaves you exposed to Magnificent 7 and concentration risk.

E.T.F.'s
SELL

Note that it's a 9 bps expense ratio. Keep in mind that the S&P 500 is very tech and communications heavy, 30% tech and 9% communications. That space is not cheap. Risks. Those sectors have been almost the only leaders this year, so he expects some rotation into other sectors. Consider an equal weight ETF instead.

E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
VFV vs. ZDY

About 34% is tech and communications, so it's pricey. 25x PE, 4.4x price to book. Yield is 1.6%.

ZDY has better valuations, less exposure to tech and communications of about 20%. 18x PE, 3.3x price to book. Yield is 2.8%. More conservative. Better risk/reward.

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Great option for investors looking to get exposure to S&P 500. Will provide steady rate of return for the long term investor. Small dividend yield as well.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks VFV ETF, the Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF, is the non-hedged version, and the VSP ETF is the Canadian-hedged. Both S&P stocks trade in Toronto and both are popular. I have owned both in the past, and they do the job. Neither hold equal-weighted baskets as tech commands the largest slice at 27.3%, distantly followed by health care at 14.1% and consumer discretionary at 11.4%. Therefore, the largest holdings are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla in that order, totaling more than 18% of VFV ETF and VSP ETF. Read 5 ETFs for Index Investing for our full analysis.

COMMENT
The market maker has natural arbitrage. Over history, things have drifted but typically this is where there are derivatives or problems with the underlying asset class. There is little worry about dislocation with a large index.
E.T.F.'s
HOLD
If you already own this, hang on. Though, for new clients, he will invest in the S&P, because you must own this or similar S&P ETFs. The S&P has run up so much, so he doesn't add if he already owns VFV.
E.T.F.'s
PARTIAL BUY

Or other similar ETFs? They're all basically the same thing: the S&P 500, the number one index in the world, holding every famous American stock you can think of. Looking ahead, he expects other country indexes to outpace the S&P 500, including the TSX. But you should still have some exposure to the S&P 500. Go with the equal-weighted S&P 500, rather than the hedged or unhedged ETF. Go with the EQL--it's fine. Don't worry about the CAD, because the Bank of Canada won't allow the CAD to go much above 79 cents.

E.T.F.'s
WAIT
It mirrors the S&P 500, which has recently exploded. This ETF is close to its high. He feels the markets are a little overbought now, so wait till things calm, or right now buy a partial position. Warning: there could be a second wave and the US election is coming.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
A small-cap Japan ETF? Vanguard offers cheap MERs and diversified ETFs, but US stocks are overbought. Look at EM, Europe, Japan, etc. instead. There's a risk of melt-up with US stocks, but not outside the U.S.
E.T.F.'s
WATCH
An interesting ETF that he hasn't looked at before. It's had a spectacular return in the last year. The nice thing about this is that its 10 year average is 16%. They base their weighting on market value so they increase the weighting when a stock does well. It's a strategy that could fail if the market falls.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
Vanguard makes only good ETFs--cheap and does a good job tracking benchmarks. Everyone should invest something in the States. VFV has done well.
E.T.F.'s
WEAK BUY

VEQT vs. VFV vs. XWD He prefers VEQT and XWD, because he'd rather be all-world than just the U.S. He likes diversification. VEQT is all-cap vs. XWD is large-cap, and he prefers all-cap. So, VQET is his top choice here.

E.T.F.'s
BUY
Another S&P index ETF, also excellent. It depends on how you want to play the US market and what you think will happen to the US dollar. Hedge if you think the USD will hurt you. This is steady and good.
