This is not easy to do, as the TSX 60 has 20% weighting for energy stocks.
There are a few choices.
1. Why specific to Canada only -- are you trying to get eligible dividends in a non-reg portfolio? If not specific to Canada, you can get financial , agricultural, healthcare global ETFs, or other market sectors there.
1b. Canadian sector funds- check out Blackrock for a good fund screen for canadian equities. There are several non-energy Canadian ones to choose from, financials, IT, consumer staples,
2. Do you want low exposure or ZERO exposure? One way would be to buy the ETF as your baseline for 50% of your investment, then buy the top 10 stocks individually, or a fund that does not include energy, for Canadian for the remainder. This is what I have been doing, but I must say that my stock picking success is marginal at best. I do this in my non-reg fund to make use of the capital losses that I incur, and preferential dividend taxes on my low income right now... It is a tax strategy, not an investment strategy, due to my results thus far.
3. Hmm.. why no energy at all? I personally have been more worried about over exposure to CDN banking, especially now with the overlap of insurance and banking in one company.it is 41% of the TSX60.. Energy doesn't dominate as much as it once did. Is this a philosophical reason, like not wanting to invest in tobacco or guns? Are you anti-oil but ok with electricity and natural gas? What is it?
