TOP PICK

World's largest spirits producer, great brands. In the West, the growth strategy is to push premium price points. In the rest of the world, it's to push volume. 19 of the top 20 liquor brands selling today were born 100 years ago, so liquor brands have longevity. The stock to own in the sector. Yield is 3.21%.

(Analysts’ price target is $124.63)
TOP PICK

97% gross margins, and 60% operating margins. A play on global transaction volumes. Worries about stablecoins; but however people decide to pay for something, Visa will take its share. There will always be competitive threats, but its network is a backbone of payments and can't easily be replicated. Yield is 0.68%.

We reiterate HLPR, a low-MER (0.3%) ETF that holds Canadian investment grade preferred shares with a laddered maturity for rate resets, as a TOP PICK.  As a Corporate Class ETF, it does not pay any dividends or distributions, making it highly tax efficient for non-registered accounts -- when you sell you generate a capital gain.  The underlying portfolio is a well diversified portfolio of utilities, banks, and energy companies.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $25.00) to $28.50, looking to achieve $37.00 -- upside potential over 17%.  Yield 0%

HCRE is a low-MER ETF holding REITs in an equal weighted well diversified portfolio.  It is highly tax efficient as it does not offer distributions, but instead swaps it back into the fund for additional upside and is taxed as a capital gain -- ideal for holding in non-registered accounts.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $25.50, looking to achieve $33.00 -- upside potential over 17%.  Yield 0%

We reiterate ZRE, which holds Canadian REIT assets in an equally weighted well diversified portfolio, as a TOP PICK.  The average PE is 13x and it trades below book value.  REITs are a good way to diversify your portfolio.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $18.50) to $20.50, looking to achieve $26.00 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 4.9%
