Q: Retired dividend income investors. We prioritize asset allocation in all of our portfolio decisions. We plan on capturing some income tax savings by selling the remaining shares of my wife's BNS, thereby offsetting other capital gains. I need to replace these funds in the same sector...ie: financials.

She leans more on the conservative side. Combined, we already have a full position in RY and other financials contained within ZLB, CDZ, ZWC, as well as AD.UN.

In the current declining interest rate environment, does HMAX fit the bill? As interest rates decline, what impact will this have on the share price? Should I assume that the capital appreciation will be fairly minimal, while the dividend maintains roughly where it is now?

I appreciate your help...as always.
Steve

Q: Please provide a hedged financial EFT for earning about 10% for the first year, including both dividend and capital gains. Please also provide a Canadian one.

Q: With TD,BMO and BNS stock prices levelling off from their decline, could you suggest 2-3 ETF's to invest in for the potential recovery with a 1-2 year hold period?

Thank you
