Globe says BMO Low Volatility worth consideration

2025-11-25 08:28 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 25, edition that if your portfolio is making you queasy, you may want to make some derisking moves. The Globe's regular guest columnist Gordon Pape recommends BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF. This ETF invests in an actively managed portfolio of large-cap, low volatility Canadian stocks. It is rebalanced in June and reconstituted in December. After a fall in April, this fund has been climbing steadily and is up more than 20 per cent year-to-date. Low volatility stocks normally show less price movements, up or down, than the broad market. So, when the indexes fall, the stocks in this ETF should better retain their value. That does not mean they will not drop. Just not as much. The fund was launched in October, 2011, and has $5.4-billion in assets under management. The MER is 0.39 per cent. There are 54 positions in this equal weight portfolio, all Canadian companies. Grocery giants Empire, Loblaw and Metro occupy three of the top four positions. Utilities Fortis and Hydro One round out the top five. In terms of sector breakdown, 22.02 per cent is in financials, 18.98 per cent in consumer staples, 16.76 per cent in utilities and 12.23 per cent in industrials.
