Experts have differing opinions on the BMO Low Volatility US Equity ETF (ZLU-T). While some believe it provides less volatility in a bear market compared to XST, others see it as a low volatility exposure to a broader cohort of US stocks. It is suggested that ZLU will tend to outperform the S&P 500 in a market correction. However, it has underperformed in the last couple of years and may not provide significant growth in the long term.

XST, ZEB.TO
BUY
ZLU vs. XST for less volatility in a bear market?

XST is made up of Canadian retail grocers. Huge weight in Loblaw and Couche-Tard, making up about half of the ETF. Rest will be Metro, Weston, Empire, Saputo, Maple Leaf. Somewhat resilient. No matter what happens in an economy, people need groceries. Less volatility than ZLU.

ZLU is low volatility exposure to a broader cohort of stocks, not just consumer staples. A US play. Lower volatility, but broader economic exposure. Will tend to outperform the S&P 500 in a market correction. Really likes it.

WEAK BUY
ETF for US exposure?

Underperformed the last couple of years. Low volatility was all the rage when we had some corrections. We might have some more corrective action in US stocks, Warren Buffett has a massive cash hoard, Stanley Druckenmiller's calling for 0% growth in US stocks for 10 years. Volatility is tempered with ZLU -- it will go down less in a correction, but up less too. You might decide to stick with this for the long term.

SELL

Healthcare at the top, and then pharma and food. When we're seeing an early-cycle move, low vol tends to underperform. At this time, you want more cyclicals and growth. But great if you want low beta.

E.T.F.'s
HOLD
Looks for companies that are less economically sensitive. Good time to add if defensive. Not as much value in stocks relative to tech names. Not a good buy for aggressive investors.

COMMENT
If you have a growth part of your portfolio, it should be in the TFSA. You want maximum growth in TFSA so he would not recommend it for these accounts.
E.T.F.'s
BUY
He's owned it for a while. It's had a nice, steady upward move. He's recommended it in the past, and this environment is good to enter into this ETF.

COMMENT

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 11/19, Up 22%) A very safe ETFs. Low volatility stocks that are sort of dull, but they have done quite well in the markets recently.
E.T.F.'s
DON'T BUY
It is a US version of the ZLB-T. This is not a time to put money to work in equities. Wait for a pull back for sure. He likes this as a defensive play.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
An ETF that emphasizes on stocks with low beta. In a volatile market, this is the type of stock you want. It's made of utilities, consumer staples and discretionary. A safe and stable way to enter the market.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
This is their low volatility ETFs. The ZLU.U pays distributions in US dollars. He would stick with a US index rather than an all market one, but it depends on what type of investor you are.
E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK

No tech stocks, but low volatility with McDonald's and Waste Management. Utilities that pay dividends. Good for waiting and seeing how trade headlines plays out.

E.T.F.'s
TOP PICK
Diversified. More on the consumer side of the market, so not as exposed to the trade wars. Yield is 1.73%.
E.T.F.'s
