Investment Q&A

Q: I have HHL & HHL.U in my registered accounts for many years. It has been a good dividend (>8%) generator with its policy of options investment of about 30%. It has a high management fee of 0.85 and MER of 0.99.

LIFE is similar with almost half fee and dividend is equally attractive. Like to get your advise comparable merits of switching HHL to LIFE.

Q: your thoughts on harvest group of funds for income

Q: The top 10 holdings (50% +) have a dividend yield of 0 to 4 % yield. The ETF shows a yield of 8.46%. Could you explain the discrepancy ? I like the sector. Beside HHL could recommend a other ETF.

Q: Hello, I have asked this question last Thursday morning, so just in case it got lost, here it is: these 2 ETFs seem to be similar, except for the lower MER for LIFE and the higher market cap for HHL, is there something to be aware of if I switch from HHL to LIFE for tax-loss reasons? Any disadvantage in putting money in LIFE? Is The Evolve business solid? Thanks.

Q: If I purchased 100 shares of XHC and HHL five years ago at the same time, how much should I be up on XHC including dividends? Thanks for your math skills! James, Much appreciated

Q: The Harvest Healthcare ETFs appear to be a good way to diversify into American healthcare and get a "healthy?" income too. The MER is a bit high.
In a small very conservative TFSA would this make sense? Are there concerns, flaws, issues with this particular ETF series to watch out for?

Thanks

Q: I am considering selling XHC and replacing it with HHL in my RSP to add income. Is this a wise move and do you see any other issues with this change? Thx James

Q: I am 80 and I have 85 k in my TFSA . Iam looking to invest in Fix income . What would you suggest ?

Q: In my ongoing search for yield, I have generally been pleased with HHL. As you know, it is a fund that equally invests in 20 large cap global health care companies and employs an active covered call strategy. The recent yield range has been ~ 8.50-9.0%. It is a 5% weight in overall portfolio.

I am comfortable with their core equity exposure, as they are all brand names that investors know well. And I am comfortable with its performance relative to broad market performance/sentiment. My question is relatively simple. Is this yield too good to be true, and do you think that 8.50-9.0% suggests excess leverage/risk. I do note that their monthly payout has been steady and there has never been a cut in the distribution.

Thank you.

Q: Hello:

Wondering if TXF is beaten down enough to provide a good entry point. Is there a better ETF for similar exposure in CAD?

What are 5i's thoughts on HHL for weathering the next year or two with possible recession and general market uncertainties? I expect healthcare may see less volatility but would like your perspective, please.

Thank you for your great service!

Q: I am considering investment in HHL primarily for the Dividend but it has also pulled back in this market, so potential growth as well. Is Healthcare and Dividend ETF's fairly safe in this current market? Is there another ETF with good income and some potential for growth. Thanks

Q: Hi there.

Just a follow up to an earlier question.

1/ Do any of the HHL ETF distributions qualify for the dividend tax credit?

2/ Are any of the HHL ETF distributions subject to a withholding tax?

Thanks very much.

Q: What is the Return of Cap. on this etf and where do I find this in future? thx

Q: Currency aside would you have a preference and a brief comparison.
Thank you

Q: HI GUYS I was wondering if this company would be ok to buy because the price seems fair and it pays good divivdend, I cant find any news on it or do you have anything else in that price range that may be worth looking at. I am looking to buy it in my tfsa thanks so much Larry

Q: Hi Peter

What is your opinion on the following stocks as part of my income portfolio HHL,MKP ,PRV,CIX, WCP and GSY .
do you have any additional suggestions for high tech for an income portfolio


Thank you
Howard

Q: Greetings. In 2021, I took a small tax hit, to shift my "UN" stocks to my TFSA from my non registered... ostensibly to simplify my taxes. Just wondering if, going forward, you folks have heard whether HHL will lose their straight dividend status - or has it already? Thanks.

Q: If you work for a company and you have restrictions on when you can buy and sell a stock. There are only certain times a year you are allowed to buy and sell. For example lets assume any one of those in the top ten holdings of HHL.

My question is can you buy and sell HHL during those restricted periods?

Thanks Jimmy

Q: are the dividends fairly safe on these two, and which one would be the better investment? thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on this ETF?

Thanks
