Q: Good Afternoon. I'm still searching for an international etf that suits my needs, that being a 65 y/o retiree who is more concerned with income, albeit with some growth. Most I have looked at have relatively low yields, around 2% or so. Is there such a thing as a high yield international etf? Are there any that use covered calls? Would also prefer hedged to CAD. Cheers.
5i Research Answer:
The criteria is fairly restrictive. ZWG yields more than 6% but is not hedged. 5 year return annualized 11.05%. It is global but 69% is invested in the US right now.
