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: The gold price seems to be basing, trending higher, and could break out. He wants something to protect him against the USD, and gold does this. Make gold only 5% of your portfolio. Hold here. Gold can go higher.

2.-iShares S&P US Mid-Cap Index (XMC-T) 
iShares S&P US Mid-Cap Index (XMC-T) — Stockchase
iShares S&P US Mid-Cap Index (XMC-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about XMC-T: When you buy these, you're saying you want less emphasis on the Mag 7 and more on the other companies. You're saying mid-cap stocks are going to do better. At this point, he'd say the mid-cap sector is preferred. He's bullish on small caps in the shorter term, and mid-caps also benefit…

3.-BMO EqWt US HthCare Hedged CAD (ZUH-T) 
BMO EqWt US HthCare Hedged CAD (ZUH-T) — Stockchase
BMO EqWt US HthCare Hedged CAD (ZUH-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about ZUH-T: MER is 0.72%. Easy to understand. Not a market cap weighted ETF

4.-SPDR Industrial E.T.F. (XLI-N)
Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI-N) — Stockchase
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.

5.-iShares MSCI China A ETF (CNYA-N)
iShares MSCI China A ETF  (CNYA-N) — Stockchase
iShares MSCI China A ETF (CNYA-N) — Stockchase

Opinion about CNYA-N: Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. A good ETF for investors looking for exposure in China. The fund is large and liquid with a relatively ok MER of 0.60%. As China recovers more quickly from covid than other countries,it has good growth potential. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Opinion about HRAA-T: (A Top Pick Dec 01/22, Down 1%) Hedge fund like ETF (math driven).Holds mix of futures (long & short) on equities.Believes should be uncorrelated with markets over the long term.

7.-Vanguard US Dividend Appreciation Index ETF (VGG-T) 
VANGUARD US DIV APPR IDX ETF (VGG-T) — Stockchase
VANGUARD US DIV APPR IDX ETF (VGG-T) — Stockchase

Opinion about VGG-T: Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate VGG as a TOP PICK.  It is a low-MER ETF that offers exposure to US high tech giants along with dividend growing companies.  It manages well in good times and holds its value better during market declines.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from…
