\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about TPU.TO: Tracks the S&P closely with a slightly higher weight in IT. He would add on the current pullback. Tech will rally after the US\u2026<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Opinion about VIDY-T: He still has a high weighting in the US. But he's looking to see what else is moving out there and to tap into a broader approach. He's playing defense by avoiding a heavy concentration in the US. Dividends tend to be a good factor to screen for. MER is 0.32%.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Opinion about ARE-T: Lots going on in the construction and infrastructure space, and this name will benefit. Trades at significantly lower multiple to peers, but that multiple should slowly increase over time as they get rid of cost-overrun projects.
