Asked by Mike on April 07, 2026
5i Research Answer:

They are all a bit different in their own ways so comparisons aree tough with some being more broadly diversified and others being more sector focused. We might rank as ZWB, ZWU, HDIF and HDIV, but all are really fine in our view. We like ZWB and ZWU for being well entrenched and stable sector focused ETFs, in more defensive sectors while offering a bit of an outsized yield. HDIF is well diversified through a fund of funds strategy. HDIF utilizes leverage so we would rank it as a bit higher risk.
