Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares Core Growth ETF Portfolio, represented by XGRO-T, is viewed favorably based on its broad, market-cap-weighted exposure, similar to its counterpart VGRO. Experts highlight the comparative advantage of Fidelity's factor-investing ETFs, suggesting they may provide better long-term outcomes by excluding underperforming companies. However, there is a prevailing concern regarding the bond component of these ETFs, particularly given the recent normalization of interest rates, which may not offer effective risk mitigation for investors. Additionally, experts advocate for considering alternatives such as BMO's buffered ETFs, which promise equity-like growth with enhanced risk management. Overall, while XGRO-T has a solid foundation, investors should remain aware of potential limitations in the fixed income arena.

DON'T BUY

VGRO and XGRO are going to give you broad, market-cap-weighted exposures. 

The Fidelity factor-investing ETFs are going to get rid of some of the companies that they believe are going to underperform. In theory, the Fidelity ETF should give you a better longer-term outcome. He likes factoring a lot.

The problem with all of them is the bond side. Helpful that interest rates have normalized. But, going forward, fixed income is just not going to give the average investor the best risk mitigation. He encourages people to look at the BMO line of buffered ETFs, which give you the potential of equities with the risk mitigation that most are looking for.

DON'T BUY
For an RRSP long term He bought the Vanguard version when they were first issued, because he liked the idea where Vanguard acted as the portfolio manager, but the performance lacked. It was good for small accounts like kids' RRSPs. But he owns none of them now. When they rebalance, they take money out of the US (growth) and into Europe (which declined)--that's why. He's not a fan of the algorithms which automatically determine reallocations.
BUY

For an RESP, you would want to be more aggressive. He recommends VXC, which is a multi-asset ETFs. They are 60-40 allocations. He likes XGRO as well. He uses these funds for his clients for their children. VXC is more aggressive and it also gets rebalanced quarterly.

TOP PICK
This is for starting an RRSP. The MER is around 18 basis points. It's 80% global equities and 20% bonds to keep volatility a little lower than purely stocks. It's a great core holding that you can add to over time.
DON'T BUY
XBAL-T or XGRO-T. Can either of these be a one-stop portfolio? They are good for a starting point but he could never recommend one for a retiree. Their views are not aligned with his firm's views. The weightings around the world are not aligned with what he calls his 'super-trend' views.
