Harvest Equal Weight Global Utilities Income ETF (HUTL.TO)

(A Top Pick May 17/22, Down 2.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with HMUTL has triggered its stop $17.75. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with the previous buy recommendation, this will result in net investment loss of 6%.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With overriding concerns growing about the state of markets, we again reiterate this defensive global utility ETF priced in Canadian dollars as a TOP PICK. Utilities are better able to manage inflationary pressures and rising interest rates than most companies as these costs are able to be passed directly along to the consumer. We like the global diversification and its yield. We recommend sliding the stop loss down to $17.75 to account for current market volatility. Yield 7.4%

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly We again reiterate HUTL as a TOP PICK for those looking for global diversification, invested in utilities, with an enhanced yield. We like that about one-third of the portfolio is in US equities, Canada is just over 10%, with Europe representing the rest. It uses a covered-call writing strategy to boost the dividend yield from a portfolio average of 4.0% up over 7.0%. The MER is only 0.5%. In a market that is priced efficiently, this is a good diversification strategy. We would recommend trailing up the stop (from $17.00) to $18.50. Yield 7.08%
