Q: Do you have any insight into whether ZWU might increase or decrease its dividend going forward please? What factors might influence this, and if able to gauge or guess at it, what timeline might we see for a decision to update it? Thanks!

Q: I normally keep individual stocks to a limit of 5% of my portfolio in a registered account. However, with ZWC being an ETF, how high do you think I could go, given that it is diversified in many stocks?

What would be an attractive price to buy into ZWC?

If ZWU is also held in the same account, how high could you go for that ETF (as a percentage of the account)? And would that affect the amount of ZWC held in the same account?

Thank you.

Q: I have money to invest in a registered account and do not need the funds for at least 5-10 years. I was planning to buy a GIC, but the rates for 1 to 5 year terms are only in the 3% range. Instead, I am thinking of buying ZWU with a 7% return, realizing that there is no guarantee on the ETF price, but the rate of return is significantly higher than the GIC. My understanding is that the utitilies sector is quite stable and the price of this ETF does not tend to move much.

Do you see this as a good strategy to get a higher return with relatively low risk to the erosion of my investment value, given the long time frame?

Also, what would be an acceptable price to purchase ZWU?
