The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Oct. 20, edition that iShares S&P/TSX SmallCap Index ETF is worth consideration. The Globe's regular guest columnist Gordon Pape writes that this small-cap ETF is on his Internet Wealth Builder's recommended list. This ETF as originally recommended on July 14, 2025, at $23.90. It closed Monday at $35.86. This ETF aims to replicate the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index, net of expenses. Canadian small-cap stocks have been performing well, and this fund was ahead 32.36 per cent for the year to Sept. 30. For the 10 years to that date, the average annual compound rate of return was 10.71 per cent. This ETF has about $250-million in assets under management. The MER is 0.6 per cent. The fund holds 236 positions. Almost one-third is invested in the materials sector, especially copper and gold miners. Another 23 per cent is in energy, which has been the hottest sector on the TSX since the start of the Iran war. Other strong holdings include Russel Metals and Bird Construction, both of which have seen their price more than double this year. Payments are made quarterly and can vary significantly. For the year to the end of September, investors received a total of 56.8 cents per unit.
