COMMENT

XIC is slightly different because it's capped, but will pay distributions. HXT does not pay, but compounds gains within the ETF.

COMMENT

HXT or XIC. HXT has little or no capital distribution - gains are compounded inside so little extra tax paid. XIC has a slightly different makeup and distributes gains to unit holders.

COMMENT

Returns are very similar. A broader TSX exposure do beat large caps, and other times it's the opposite. When banks and energy does well, HXT does better. HXT has a slightly better tax structure.

COMMENT

XIU has a slightly higher MER. HXT does not distribute the income but is capitalized into the portfolio holdings. It makes it a capital gain than dividend income. The redemption cost is also a factor. Would prefer HXT all things considered.

COMMENT

HXT-T vs. XIU-T. They have basically identical holding but one pays a dividend so has different tax treatment. He is indifferent. In a TFSA, there is no reason to not to use the XIU-T.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 18/18, Up 9%) At the time they were feeling pretty good about Canada and they still are. Total return swap. Derivative contracts. The cheapest ETF in Canada at only 0.03% MER. Because of the uncertainty around its derivative structure its hard to say if its tax efficiency will cary forward in exactly the same way.

COMMENT

An inverse ETF such as XIV-N might be leveraged -- and he will never touch leveraged funds. XIV-N was actually liquidated as investors lost 90% of their investment. He thinks HXT-T is non-leveraged. You can be on the right side of the market, yet still lose money on a leveraged fund. The leveraged funds are really for day traders only.

BUY

They do a complicated derivative swap, so what happens if there's a default? Yes, this is a swapped-based ETF, which means you don't get paid any dividend. It's a swap; complicated, but basically you get the same return as the index. Horizons has been doing this kind of ETF for a long time. He's comfortable with this ETF.

TOP PICK

A play on the blue chip stocks. It is Canada's cheapest at 3 basis points. It is swap based so pays no dividends. Canada is one of the better priced markets in the world.

COMMENT

This is a great representation of the TSX60. It is swap based, so this will not lead to any taxable distributions and a low MER.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, Sept. 21, 2017, Up 11%) It's for people who don't want income/yield (and lead to a better tax position). This ETF is swap-based and adds a little more risk. But he isn't worried about it.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, Sept.1, 2017, Up 11%) Covers the TSX, pays no dividends and charges a very low MER.

COMMENT

What's the difference if I use derivatives with HTX than not? Best to do this in taxable accounts, because you don't receive a dividend per se. With this, a counter-party guarantees that your ETF will generate that rate of return on the swap. The key is who is the counter-party which in this case is National Bank, which he's comfortable with. You don't get cash flow, but you get the exact rate of return on the Canadian equity market appreciation, plus dividend. It's a nice one-stop.

HOLD

They are a little different than most other ETFs. This is a swap-based ETF. Basically, a contract between Horizon and National Bank. These are total return ETFs so there is no distribution so very efficient for people making high income.

BUY

HXF-T or HXT-T? He likes both. This one is Toronto, while the other is US. They are basically swap vehicles, which is different from most ETF's where they actually hold the security. There is no distribution, so are for people who want to retain the distributions within the ETF. A great vehicle for someone who is still working and doesn't want the income.
