Q: Hello Peter & Team,
I know (looking at previous questions) 5i likes XEI as do I with the good dividend I continue to enjoy. But it has languished since Aug 2022 when I took up a position to the tune of (as of today) a tad over -8%. Considering market conditions since that time and the fact the Blackrock index is made up of some 50+ S&P/TSX composite index stock, shouldn't I be enjoying a little bit better performance on the capital gains side of things? My goal with this ETF was to enjoy the dividend and appreciate a 4 or 5% per year return or at least stay close to par. Is there something I'm missing? Are my expectations unreasonable? What is your interpretation of what drives this ETF?
Thanks for all you do
