Our Mega List of the Latest ETFs Mentioned on Stockchase

He likes US banks. He prefers ZBK-T, because it's the unhedged version and he expects the Canadian dollar to soften up this year. But it's a little riskier. Otherwise, buy the safer, hedged ZUB.

Likes it--it derives income outside Canada, though a few of the companies held here are Canadian like Enbridge. It's a well-managed ETF. The covered call increases the dividend

The pain on this may not be over. The current tightening cycle of rising rates and a stronger US dollar will not be good for emerging markets. This if further complicated by lower oil prices, where many of these countries are oil exporters. Be careful. You could add some diversification, but it may continue to…

ZLB vs. ZUB These are low-volatility ETFs, and he isn't keen on low-vol. Low-vol means defensive sectors like utilities, and away from growth. He's slightly bullish the cyclical outlook. This is not a good entry point now, though otherwise both are good ETFs.

It doesn’t have a huge range of trading. Yield is okay at about 3%. Short-term pays you less than 1% on an after-tax basis, so this is not a bad place to park your money.

It's about behavioural economics. The ETF is a year old and it looks at how to capitalize on mispricings based on human behaviour. Investors are irrational. Say there's an earnings announcement and a stock beats or loses by a nickel, but the stock jumps way up or down out of proportional. This is for high-freqency…

Less than a year old. Doesn't trade a whole lot. It moves from one asset class to the other depending of trend. It's a trend following product. If you think the markets might be in for a choppy ride, this is the kind of product that will allow you to trim the equity exposure if…

It reinvests the proceeds. The chart is a steady climb, rising 2.6% for the year, but it is sure and steady. Good for short-term cash. Fort he conservative income part of a portfolio. MER of 0.17%

It's brand new. It replicates the S&P minus companies involved in animal testing and cruelty as well as being fossil-fuel free. VEGN performs slightly better than the S&P. It's still exposed to large caps though.

A green tech ETF with Tesla as the largest holding. It is risky, though you're not betting a specific company or technology, but rather a wide range of companies and techs, like LED lights and e-cars.

Gold ETF. Non-leveraged ETF. You're basically buying Cdn$ version of the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD-N) and taking the exchange rate of the picture. If you like the commodity, this is a good way to play it.

ZWP-T vs. EDGF-T. We have high yielding stocks that generally have lower volatility and so have lower option premiums. The covered writing does not add much value.

Charges only 25 basis points. Contains value and momentum stocks that are trending. Diversified with 250 holdings and pays a 1.84% dividend yield. The underlying securities here can withstand a recession.

One of his current themes is to build in more portfolio resilience and protect on the downside. US stocks with lower volatility characteristics than S&P. Geopolitical risks are rising. Names inclue Visa, Coca-Cola, Verizon. Not an expensive MER.

Play this for the upside on the US market. Holdings include Microsoft. Put a stop loss on the way up. There are liquidity issues.

If you want to invest in the US, this would be his favourite vehicle. It has done quite well for him. It took quite a hit recently because of the stronger Cdn$, so the timing is pretty good. You are getting a participation in the market, but a part of the market that is not…

The impact is going to be a big part on the pipeline component. Utility stocks have never been more expensive globally. It is fully valued. He would buy it at $12 or even close to $13 and would recommend it at those prices.

This is a large cap holding with 4% exposure to Canada. A very good ETF.

What comes screaming back is the previous leaders. There is persistence. Internet retail is the first one to break down and the first one to reverse. Basic materials are the area starting to make a turn. It would be complimentary to add some Canada.

Gold mining shares have done very well this year on the back of a 20%+ rise on the price of bullion. Recently they have checked back quite a bit, and this is an attractive entry point. One of the challenging things with the miners is that gold shares have become a big part of some…

(A Top Pick June 19/12. Up 64.01%.) Has Stops in place on this. If we are going to see a US market pullback, this one will come off.

Rare to see equities yielding more than fixed income. So he wants to be exposed to those high dividend equities. You want to see it starting to outperform the market, which indicates the time to buy. A core holding in the period of seasonality ahead.

Passively held balanced portfolio. This one is 80% equities, 20% fixed income which is pretty aggressive. Not a bad thing to have as a core part. But VBAL-T is better at this point in the cycle, with 60% equities, 40% fixed income.

Buy the hedged version to avoid foreign exchange risk. He prefers the US bond market to the Canadian one in the aggregate.

Europe is looking interesting on the back of this huge mass of QE that they are doing. It is something that he is looking at. However, it has run quite a bit, so he would wait and buy on market dips before getting into this.

This is a US REIT that holds commercial and residential mortgage companies. There are 2 companies that hold about 38% of this. One is Annaly Capital (NLY-N) and the other is American Capital Agency (AGNC-Q). Huge yield of 11.89%, only because the share price has dropped from $60-$37 a few years ago. There is some…

It was the banking crisis that we haven’t seen since the 20s that created the whole European mess. Areas that had strong banking systems, Canada and Australia, got through very well. In the US, the banks started to turn and the S&P 500 followed suit. He thinks the same thing will happen in Europe.

Chart shows good uptrend. South Korea has a lot of good things happening to it. North Korea looks like they are backing down from their nuclear stance.

Which Canadian financials ETF to buy? Do you want income or equal weight? Defer capital gains? FIE-T pays a monthly income and include preferred shares, corporate bonds and banks stocks, so it's diversified. If you don't want this income and prefer exposure and a total return swap and defer the taxation, then he suggests HWEB-T.…

US Long Bonds. TLT-Q is the benchmark for long bonds. He just bought some in all his portfolios. Trade the range. Buy on dips. This will be the best protection in the next global economic downtown. These bonds are always the flight to safety.

An actively managed bond ETF? It makes sense to have some of your bonds actively managed. He just spoke to the manager of this ETF and he's looking at the shape of the yield curve and managing expectations.

This has lagged, because basically you are holding T-bills and equal-end type instruments. When you’re starting at 1%, there is not much room for price appreciation. This is more of a cash alternative as opposed to a bond alternative.

Doesn’t think this is worth buying, as he doesn’t expect the price of oil is going to change much from its $50 range. Whenever the price gets high, the Americans turn on the taps and the price goes back down again.

ZPW-T vs. ZWH-T If you can afford to stay in cash and wait for markets to correct, it is preferable. He uses ZPW-T and ZWH-T as well as ZLU-T to hold his exposure to the equity market. They will fall much less than the S&P. They are not risk free.

He likes the Canadian Banks now. Recommends buying it together with BMO Covered Call Utilities ETF (ZWU-T) to provide stability to the portfolio.

Has a lot of financials and healthcare including Berkshire Hathaway, JPM and Exxon among 300 names. 0.70% MER. A good way to play value stocks, and it does okay in a non-value environment. He bought it yesterday.

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

This is a good global balanced fund with low-risk, offering diversification for Canadian portfolios.

Brazil. Fundamentally, this country is much more self-contained than a lot of other export oriented countries. It is an exporter but there is plenty of domestic growth as well as self-sufficiency in energy. Have a couple of huge oil finds off their shores. Finances are in very good shape.

More Americans own pets (68%) than have children (42%). It's a play for pet owners. It's a new ETF, and it spans pet pharmaceuticals, food and supplies.
