Investors seeking to enhance returns for their retirement portfolio might consider a core-satellite strategy to build a nest egg.
Low-fee, broadly diversified stock-and-bond index exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make ideal long-term, core holdings. Some examples include iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite ETF XIC-T, BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite ETF ZCN-T and Vanguard U.S. Total Market ETF VUN-T.
But adding thematic, smaller-cap, industry sector or developing-market equity ETFs can provide the extra fuel to potentially beat market indexes. In some cases, they are also better as shorter-term, tactical plays.
