Believes stock markets are too high, and investors should be cautious. Alternative asset classes look attractive given recent highs in stock market. USA ETF products are performing very strongly, with Canada equivalents trailing. Innovation occurring at rapid rate in the ETF space. Bitcoin ETF products can be risky, but are offering investors opportunity.
Very popular option for S&P 500 exposure. High exposure to "Magnificent 7". Very good performance the past 10 years. Good option for long term investors. Must be prepared to hold for 10 years (avoid market sell offs).
Excellent option for S&P 500 exposure. Very hard to beat performance. Excellent long term hold. Would recommend.
Covered call product reduces amount of capital gains. Good for defensive investors. Very reliable dividend yield. Excellent offering of companies covered in the ETF.
Very good product for long term investors. Preferred shares can be risky, but also offering lots of opportunity. Current pricing is offering lots of up side with dividend yield as well.
Risky product, but can offer lots of upside. Small amount of leverage in product can offer lots of opportunity without too much risk. Also not exposed to high borrowing costs with large amounts of leverage.
Very safe product with zero leverage. Cash alternative that offers lots of defense. Falling yields not a concern. Very boring product, but good option to balance portfolio. 4-5% dividend yield a good offering.
Long bonds have not been performing as well. Rate cuts not occurring as quickly as anticipated. Would recommend small position. Strong markets not good for product, but if market crashes - is a good product.
Pleased with return - but lagging behind other products in the market. Mag 7 stocks also making it hard to justify this product. However, is a good long term investment in case the markets fall.
Very undervalued sector. Good if bullish for clean tech sector. Good for a balanced portfolio. Would continue to recommend.
Actively managed ETF product. Writing puts & calls on the markets. 4-5% returns annually. Good yield product that is tax efficient. Alternative product that can balance a portfolio.
Sector ETF with good proximity and inflation strategy. Good for getting exposure to commodities. Overall, a good product. Good product to have in portfolio. Provides balance.
Canadian eligible dividend yield product good for defensive investors. Won't get as much upside as other products, but very safe. Would recommend buying as Vanguard products are very strong.
Good product to get exposure to India stock markets. Helps get emerging markets performance as well. Relatively safe product. Would recommend buying.
Older EFT with lots of history. Very low fees (perhaps cheapest in Canada). Does not pay distributions, good for capital appreciation. Overall, a great product.
