Our Mega List of the Latest ETFs Mentioned on Stockchase

If a long term investor, a good buy. Not a good product for day traders. Don't worry about liquidity. Always a buyer for product.

(A Top Pick May 17/22, Down 2.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with HMUTL has triggered its stop $17.75. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with the previous buy recommendation, this will result in net investment loss of 6%.

Tilted portfolios towards developed and emerging international. Best returns will come from here.

It is low Beta and skewed toward the more conservative sectors. It follows sector allocations and uses a checks and balances system for individual stocks.

In a rising rate environment, you might want to stick to a shorter term. XSH is a short-term, corporate, investment-grade ETF. Had drawdowns, but not as bad as a typical aggregate bond or high-yield ETF.

(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.

(A Top Pick Jan 06/20, Down 8%) Delisted with only a few million dollars at time of delisting.

A 12-month duration product he likes, which pays a little bit more. Keep for 3-6 months, don't jump in and out. If markets are going to come down 5-10%, nothing wrong with parking money for a bit and having some dry powder.

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 and outlook? Careful because gold stock beta and gold beta are different. Better to buy gold itself, like this ETG or HUG-T which is cheaper and offers some tax saving.

(A Top Pick Oct 29/19, Down 1%) This is more of a diversifier. You get exposure outside Canada, and to sectors like healthcare, consumer staples, consumer discretionary. Focused on large cap companies.

(A Top Pick Oct 29/19, Up 6%) Tough go for anything equity related. Tries to find higher quality companies with good balance sheets that perform better in a drawdown.

(A Top Pick Oct 24/19, Up 4%) Has underperformed as of late, because of the tech push, but longer term it's had lower volatility. Makes sense for those investors who want less octane in the portfolio, but returns that follow the S&P.

(A Top Pick Oct 23/19, Up 19%) He continues to hold it. Gold and the market will be at the same level once the pandemic is over. He would rather have both the market and gold. The underlying stocks are in US dollars which he values.

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.

As 20-40% of a portfolio? Utilities are a safe-haven asset with stable, government-set revenues. But the challenge is that during high inflation, these stocks are like a long-duration bond. So, when rates rise, these stocks struggle. ZUT is BMO's equal-weight utilities ETF without calls, but that outperformed ZWU in recent years. Don't be fooled by…

Much in the US, but doesn't include Canada. 22 bps expense ratio. He likes Canada for value and cyclicality, so he wouldn't want to not have Canada. Europe appears cheap, but Ukraine conflict raises concerns.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks IHI's MER is actually higher (at 0.39%) than the yield it pays (0.3%). Like the other names here, IHI trades at a low beta, 0.86 to be precise. So, if you're not buying this for income, what's the growth? Let's look at IHI's largest holdings. TMO offers diversity among lab testing,…

Likes it as well as GLD in the gold space, but he doesn't own any gold. Gold does not hedge against inflation or war. Gold is doing nothing as Putin wages war and other countries like China arm themselves.

When the market turns, buying US homebuilders is like catching a falling knife. The risk/reward looks in your favour. Housing shortage in the US. The easy thing to do is to buy the ITB ETF, a great way to not have to make a big bet one way or the other. But you're fighting the…

(A Top Pick Oct 03/19, Up 6%) Yields 2.35%, better than fixed income products. This is the ideal hold to generate income. It enjoys higher highs and higher lows. Seasonal tailwinds through the end of the year. Lately it has underperformed the market, so he's a little concerned. He got out of this and into…

ETFs for university-aged people When you're that young, invest for growth. XWD and VGRO give you all of that in one place. It allows a globally diverse basket of stocks to be held for the long term.

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

(A Top Pick Jan 24/20, Up 2%) He likes Europe. Banks there have been under a lot of pressure. He expects North American banks to do well, but Euro banks are really cheap--and are essential to VE-T.

(A Top Pick Sep 26/19, Down 30%) He bought more in the March trough. Performance has been disappointing. Still holds a small position. It bounced back partly since March. The value and expectations in mortgage REITs is so low now, so he still holds a small position of this. This is trading well below book…

Basket of European banks, insurers, investment managers, and diversified financial companies. Likes European banks, as they're cheaper than ones in Canada or US. Half the price to book of US financials. 48 bps. A good value play into a sector and a geography that hasn't been performing well until earlier this year, and has a…

A very long running ETF specializing in South Korea market. You can also look at the Franklin family of country funds. They have competitive MERs.

Good moment to buy Canadian banks? In positive scenario, can expect S&P at 4700 at the end of the year which would be good for Canadian banks. In recession scenario, S&P at 3600. Question is will there be a recession? It is likely and markets haven't priced that in fully.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate TLT, a low MER defensive ETF holding 20-30 year US treasuries, as a TOP PICK. During periods of market uncertainty this holding will benefit from a strengthening US dollar and a flight to safer assets. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $90) to $100 looking to achieve…

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…

Corporate bonds that are maturing in a year or less. Total returns including yield equates to a healthy return. Good defensive name for investors.

Best way to get exposure to Canadian energy.Provides dividends.Excellent returns. 

Likes it. The higher dividend version of covered calls on the US market.

(A Top Pick May 23/23, Down 2.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with ZWB has triggered its stop at $17.50.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 6%, when combined with our previous recommendations.   

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.

A minimum-volatility ETF of various stocks. This diversity reduces risk. Holds 55% US stocks, so XMW is also geographically diverse.

(A Top Pick Jan 29/19, Up 1.5%) Global Risk Parity balances the risk of growth and inflation. It balances the risks to keep you level. The peak draw down was 12% -- very manageable in the context of recent volatility.

Brazil is a good choice for broad emerging markets. Geopolitical risk is present with change of government. Long run, Brazil relies on commodities (oil) to fund economy which is risky.

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.
