A core iShares offering. It has only a 0.1% MER. It holds Canadian and foreign Canadian-denominated bonds (Maple bonds). It offers some diversification, but it will not shoot the lights out. It is short duration and high quality holdings and acts as a good defensive holding. This is fine for most Canadian investors.

(A Top Pick Apr 08/19, Up 3%) Gains have been made recently. Trades are chunky. BHAV capitalizes of investor over-reaction after earnings reports. They lowered their MER. Low volumes, though. He's confident about BHAV long-term.

This ETF is only a year old. He calls it air bags for your portfolio. It's a momentum-based value strategy that's based on academic research following trendlines. Now, SBEA is fully invested in stocks, but can go into income if the market turns down. Generally, be defensive starting now.

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 Top Pick Dec 06/19, Up 7%) It holds the bullion. (He works for Horizons.) Gold has done quite well, with a big rally in mid-2019 when interest rates fell. Late-December into late-January is gold's seasonality, which is happening. We could see a breakout due to strong interest in gold. We could see upside.

Pays a 4.9% dividend and is a strong performer. It's actively managed and equal-weight, which he likes. It's for income growth, too. You pay a little more for it being actively managed, but worth it for the performance and yield.

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.

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

ZLU is a top choice ETF of the US market -- he believes it is not currency hedged to the CAD dollar. He likes the lower volatility holdings. Good for conservative investors. He also likes the USMV ETF.

He wouldn't buy this now. It's up over 20%. He doesn't like covered calls usually. Chasing dividends could mean that you are taking on underlying risk. It's probably too late to enter.

Some of the offshore stocks are worth investing because multiples are cheaper. Prospects in Canada are so-so, so it’s a good way to diversify out of Canada.

He likes medical devices a lot. The ETF looks good with reasonable MER. Once the rhetoric from the presidential campaign subsides, it’ll probably have more smooth sailing.

He's not a gold bull, because gold represents a decline in the value of the US dollar. This one is fine, it's just not something he's bullish on. Gold is dead money.

There is nothing in the mortgage world that pays this kind of rate. You could own it if you are seeking yield but you won’t get a lot of growth in the next couple of years. Add at $40 and sell at $44

ETF with high dividend It holds 30% UK banks. The Brexit story will continue, but a no-deal Brexit is off the table. Expectations for Euro banks can't get lower. EUFN pays a 5% yield. The average company trades below book value. This space is so unloved that it's time to buy.

A past top pick. South Korea is deeply connected to global supply chains yet been hit hard by the US-China trade war, so it's deep in the bargain bin, yet promises the must upside now. SK is off everyone's radar. Good fundamentals too.

(A Top Pick Sep 24/19, Up 2%) The banks peaked after that, relative to the market. The end of August was a bottom. They started to break out in October. Earnings in late November needs to be good for the stock to not take a hit, from a seasonal perspective. Watching US financials.

(A Top Pick Jan 21/19, Up 18%) You aren't going to hear a lot of talk of long dated treasuries. If you go back to 1982 and compare 30 year bonds and equity markets through to today they have done similarly except the bonds have had less volatility. The TLT-T is the best hedge for…

A defensive ETF? If your concern is safety you may want to look elsewhere. This ETF holds investment grade Canadian corporate bonds. It is actively managed, which makes sense for this unique space. It has a lower MER as well (0.4%). Be careful looking at yield. It the yield is listed higher than the bond…

These are very defensive short-term investments. Big assets manage these ETFs. ZST has a higher short-term yield although it is more risky. The risk is off-set by the term being very short.

Energy is a big part of the Canadian story. The world is serious about climate change. We need balance in the transition away from fossil fuels and limiting pipeline capacity is one of the most idiotic way of doing this.

An S&P 500 ETF with a covered call overlay. He uses it a lot. Yield is about 6%.

For TFSA Unfamiliar with it. For a TFSA, it depends on your age. Focus on international stocks and avoid bonds.

He manages it. The portfolio is risk balanced. You can buy it and forget it.

Brazil is the one country with a growing PMI. This economy could do very well.
