ETFs are a great way to secure diversification to protect against downside whilst gaining exposure to a myriad of different companies and sectors. Whether you want exposure to gold, mid-caps, US Healthcare or to diversify geographically, there is an ETF to reach these goals.

Here are the top 8 ETFs recommended by experts on Stockchase:

1.-iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold (XGD-T)

iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF (XGD-T) — Stockchase
iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold Index ETF (XGD-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about XGD-T: Basket of gold miners in North America, 45 holdings in total, with 64% in Canada and 28% in the US. Gold has performed extremely well over the last 1-2 years, bit of a crowded trade now. Start looking elsewhere. See his Top Picks.

Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about XLI-N: (A Top Pick Jun 25/24, Up 19%) 25% of this ETF is US defense stocks, and that's the reason he bought. His view then, and certainly these days, is that's where you want to be. A lot of the other defense ETFs also included BA, and he doesn't want to be there.
