Model Portfolio ETFs

*US equivalent in brackets

**Canadian and US ETFs may differ both due to variable exchange rate between the two countries and or because they have some slightly different holdings. I do my best to find the closest alternative in each case but there can be no guarantees that these instruments will perform in a similar manner on an ongoing basis.

I occasionally introduce new ETFs into my basket because I believe it is a mistake to limit the number of available instruments if new ETFs are becoming available. That is not to say that every ETF in my basket finds its way into the model portfolio, rather it means that I may consider it for inclusion in my portfolio if it satisfies my investment system criteria at any given time. It is important to recognize that the ETFs that I use do not all carry the same risk profile. Inverse positions are inherently more volatile than broad market long ETFs because markets often do not go down the same way that they go up. The same goes for highly speculative sectors like gold miners, marijuana, and blockchain related investments, all of which carry a high degree of volatility. For this reason, I adjust position size to avoid exposing the portfolios to needless risk. Let's take a look at the model stock portfolio.   NEXT
