Novelty ETFs focus on life after the pandemic – here on Earth and in space

At the start of the pandemic, ETF providers launched work-from-home and streaming-service funds to capitalize on changes to how we live. Now, providers are putting forward funds based on what life could look like after the pandemic, including the return of travel and live sporting events.
Other new ETFs play on positive social media-generated market buzz and increased investor attention in areas such as clean energy, space exploration and bitcoin.
Both the recently launched Roundhill MVP ETF (MVP-A) – an U.S. ETF that invests in sports franchises, sporting-goods companies and facilities – and Canada’s Harvest Travel and Leisure Index ETF (TRVL-T) – which invests in large-cap travel companies – are a play on the post-pandemic recovery, says Daniel Straus, vice-president of ETFs and financial products research at National Bank Financial.

ETFs for investors with the stomach to invest in bitcoin

It has been long-held advice in the investing world that if you don’t understand something, it’s best not to put money into it.
That advice looks to have gone by the wayside when it comes to the gold-rush atmosphere among retail investors for the new and growing crop of bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
The first bitcoin ETF out of the gate, Purpose Financial LP’s Purpose Bitcoin fund (BTCC), has proven wildly popular with investors despite its relatively high management fee of 1 per cent. After less than two months, it already has more than $1.22-billion in assets under management. By comparison, Evolve Fund Group’s Bitcoin ETF (EBIT), launched one day later, has accumulated less than a tenth the assets of the Purpose ETF, despite cutting its management fee shortly after launch to 0.75 per cent..

How your portfolio could benefit from global dividend ETF

For income-seeking investors, global-dividend ETFs promise broad diversification, low volatility and above-average yields. They also come with somewhat higher costs and a few tax drawbacks for Canadians, making them less suitable in some portfolios.
“Most people buying these want a higher level of income than they get from a broader index,” says Alan Fustey, a Winnipeg-based portfolio manager at Adaptive ETF, a division of Bellwether Investment Management Inc. “And they also want a high degree of sustainability on that income.”
In terms of total returns, however, some of these ETFs “lagged the market pretty badly last year,” Mr. Fustey notes, largely because they focus on dividend-heavy sectors such as utilities and financials and are underweight in the technology, communications and lower-quality small-cap companies that outperformed.

ETFs for investors who believe the WFH trend will carry on after the pandemic

The remote-working boom brought by the COVID-19 pandemic created a new investment theme in 2020: exchange-traded funds offering a portfolio of stocks expected to benefit from the work-from-home (WFH) trend.
While some feel valuations for these ETFs are too high given the big gains of 2020 and as vaccines bring people back to their office in the months ahead, others believe the continued shift in work habits and lifestyles, as well as coming technologies like 5G communications, will support the WFH trend long term.
Hans Albrecht, vice-president and portfolio manager at Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc., sees “two worlds colliding.” The first is technology, including cybersecurity that brings a “never-ending revenue stream” and cloud computing, which he likens to a utility with “massive growth potential.” The second is the productivity and efficiency benefits that technology brings users, including away from the office.

Gold has retreated from record highs, but investors are hanging on for the next bout of volatility

Gold was the bright, shiny object of 2020, attracting haven-seeking investors as the pandemic weighed on global economies and markets. While gold has pulled back from its record highs in August, many investors are hanging onto their holdings as insurance against continuing market volatility and the threat of rising inflation.
ETFs that hold physical gold and the miners that explore and produce it are considered the easiest, low-cost and most diversified way to play the commodity to help protect against adverse, unexpected economic events such as a pandemic, says David Kletz, portfolio manager at Forstrong Global Asset Management.
