With the 2024 U.S. presidential election just under six months away, headlines
are heating up. In today’s episode, Portfolio Managers Chris Heakes, Matt

Asset Management. She is joined on the podcast by Chris Heakes and Matt
Montemurro, Portfolio Managers and ETF Specialists at BMO Global Asset

EPISODE SUMMARY

Upcoming U.S. Elections

We’re just six month away from the U.S. presidential election in November and
whether it is a Republican or Democrat win, it doesn’t change the fact that the
U.S. has one of the strongest economies and consumers, which in the long term is
positive for U.S. equities. Both Biden and Trump have an element of
protectionism that has come out of deglobalization. That along with taxes are
both big themes. There are significant personal tax cuts that are coming due in
2026. Trump pledges to keep those tax rates low, Biden is suggesting to only
keep those tax cuts if you are under a certain income threshold. Both
candidates’ proposed policies can be viewed as inflationary. Election time
brings about uncertainty, which can also create volatility, so it is an
opportunity to make portfolios more robust. Perhaps improving a traditional
60/40 portfolio by adding some gold bullion to help provide diversification to
the overall portfolio.

Oil Prices

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices have declined below $80 per barrel,
falling from their April highs. Likely due to geopolitical risks, rather than
a fundamental shift in supply and demand. The conflict in the Middle East has
probably drove prices higher, but some of those concerns have been fading. With
potential higher rates for longer, you could also see slower growth.
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) met on Tuesday and they
announced that they’re sticking to their forecast of relatively strong global
demand for 2024. We are also seeing wildfires plaguing Western Canada that can
have an impact on oil prices. It could be a supply shock that sends prices
shooting upwards. Our Multi-Asset Solutions Team (MAST) is neutral on energy,
with some upside from here. They are targeting a $80-$90 range per barrel.

International Equities

There are lot of opportunities in foreign markets and ETFs are great tools for
exposure outside of North America. Just looking at Japan and India, which had
excellent returns over the past few years. The fundament economic conditions
have been improving in Japan, with the government being very business friendly.
Inflation has come back a bit in Japan, which is good for their economy. Warren
Buffet has been increasing his holdings in Japan. India has been a kind of
a darling of emerging markets for many years. Their gross domestic product (GDP)
growth is at about 8% and it’s actually been accelerating coming out of COVID.
The rise of their middle class is one of their most attractive stories. A good
portion of the population does not have a smartphone, so there is room for
growth. If it suits your risk tolerance, India can be an excellent growth
opportunity.

U.S. Inflation Print

After three consecutive hotter than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) prints,
the U.S. finally got a little reprieve from rising prices. Year-over-year
inflation printed at 3.4%, which was in line with expectations. This calmed
fears that interest rates were not high enough to calm inflation. Both headline
and core prices rose by 0.3%. In April, a tick slower than the increases that
registered in March, that left the annual rate of headline inflation
decelerating to 3.4%, and core inflation at 3.6%. In addition to CPI, we also
saw retail sales stall a bit, so we are starting to see some evidence that the
U.S. economy is slowing, which gives the Fed some room to exhale. Yields have
fallen across the curve with the recent inflation print, and as a result risk
assets have been responding well.

Risk tolerance measures the degree of uncertainty that an investor can handle
regarding fluctuations in the value of their portfolio. The amount of risk
associated with any particular investment depends largely on your own personal
circumstances including your time horizon, liquidity needs, portfolio size,
income, investment knowledge and attitude toward price fluctuations. Investors
should consult their financial advisor before making a decision as to whether
this Fund is a suitable investment for them. 

Distribution yields are calculated by using the most recent regular
distribution, or expected distribution, (which may be based on income,
dividends, return of capital, and option premiums, as applicable) and excluding
additional year end distributions, and special reinvested distributions
annualized for frequency, divided by current net asset value (NAV). The yield
calculation does not include reinvested distributions. Distributions are not
guaranteed, may fluctuate and are subject to change and/ or elimination.
Distribution rates may change without notice (up or down) depending on market
conditions and NAV fluctuations. The payment of distributions should not be
confused with the BMO ETF’s performance, rate of return or yield. If
distributions paid by a BMO ETF are greater than the performance of the
investment fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as
a result of capital gains realized by a BMO ETF, and income and dividends earned
by a BMO ETF, are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted
cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your
adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on
the amount below zero. 

Cash distributions, if any, on units of a BMO ETF (other than accumulating units
or units subject to a distribution reinvestment plan) are expected to be paid
primarily out of dividends or distributions, and other income or gains, received
by the BMO ETF less the expenses of the BMO ETF, but may also consist of
non-taxable amounts including returns of capital, which may be paid in the
manager’s sole discretion. To the extent that the expenses of a BMO ETF exceed
the income generated by such BMO ETF in any given month, quarter, or year, as
the case may be, it is not expected that a monthly, quarterly, or annual
distribution will be paid. Distributions, if any, in respect of the accumulating
units of BMO Short Corporate Bond Index ETF, BMO Short Federal Bond Index ETF,
BMO Short Provincial Bond Index ETF, BMO Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF and BMO Ultra
Short-Term US Bond ETF will be automatically reinvested in additional
accumulating units of the applicable BMO ETF. Following each distribution, the
number of accumulating units of the applicable BMO ETF will be immediately
consolidated so that the number of outstanding accumulating units of the
applicable BMO ETF will be the same as the number of outstanding accumulating
units before the distribution. Non-resident unitholders may have the number of
securities reduced due to withholding tax. Certain BMO ETFs have adopted
a distribution reinvestment plan, which provides that a unitholder may elect to
automatically reinvest all cash distributions paid on units held by that
unitholder in additional units of the applicable BMO ETF in accordance with the
terms of the distribution reinvestment plan. For further information, see the
distribution policy in the BMO ETFs’ prospectus.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with investments
in BMO ETFs and ETF Series of the BMO Mutual Funds. Please read the ETF facts or
prospectus of the relevant BMO ETF or ETF Series before investing. The indicated
rates of return are the historical compounded total returns including changes in
share or unit value and the reinvestment of all dividends or distributions and
do not take into account the sales, redemption, distribution, optional charges
or income tax payable by the unitholder that would have reduced returns BMO ETFs
and ETF Series are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past
performance may not be repeated.

For a summary of the risks of an investment in the BMO ETFs or ETF Series of the
