Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Wow, 13.7 % is almost too good to be true ; is it ?
This would seem ideal for my RRIF ; a very high yield on solid Canadian companies. Will the covered call aspect make distributions fluctuate ?
I need clarification on the last sentence of your response to John today:

“ZWU will likely retain its share price better than UMAX. “

Are you saying ZWU will not go down as much as UMAX or go up as much ( or both ) ?

Thanks . Derek.

Q: Just noticed that management fee of HDIV is 0.65, but MER is 2.39. Management fee for HMAX and UMAX is 0.65, but MERs are unstated presumably because it's early days. Do you expect that the MERs of HMAX and UMAX will be over 2%?

Q: I would like your opinion of this new ETF.
I realize it has no history, and is still rather small, but it seems to be in a growing segment, high income ETF's.
I like the equal weight aspect, I like all the companies in it, and I like that there is no leverage involved, and at the money options, seem like a winning formula.
I am looking for income, low volatility, and a little growth would be welcome, but honestly, if the share price is the same in 20 years after distributions, I would still be very happy.
It would make up about 30% of my investments, with HDIV at 20%, and HYLD at 20%, cash at 10%, and an assortment of individual companies, about 7, making up the remainder.

Thank you
