Thanks
As a tag on to my recently submitted question about covered call, what is your opinion and recommendations within in an RRSP?
Yes, tracking ACB can be a pain, but if there is a return of capital component on a fund it can defer taxes, and shift a tax burden fully to capital gains. We are comfortable with HDIV for a multi-sector approach, though it does use 25% leverage which may not be for everyone. HYLD is a US focused similar fund. ZWU for a utilty covered call fund. ZWB is a bank-focused CC ETF that we would be also comfortable with. Recommendations would largely be the same for a RRSP. The main difference is that ROC cannot be utilized in an RRSP nor does it need to be tracked. But high income can still be beneficial in a deferred tax account such as an RRSP.
