As the sector allocation between ZLB and XMV (both identified Low volatility ETF) is significantly different. Could you please confirm which ETF would be most suitable to replace Sentry All Cap Income Fund with a MER of 2.68%?

Thanks

Q: I am up 17% on BCE.

Would it make sense to sell some BCE stock to buy Telus thus diversifying risk & growth opportunity between two companies?

Would this same logic apply to say Enbridge & Fortis?

Q: I have been looking at CHW, as a small holding, for income. In the last couple weeks it is down about 10%. This makes it look more attractive, but I can't help but wonder if something is up. What is your opinion of CHW, and is there any reason you can see for the recent price decline? What is the payout percentage, and your view on the dividend sustainability?
Thank-you
