Q: Hello 5i Team,
My question is regarding the iShares Core MSCI Canadian Quality Dividend ETF. It hasn’t been around for very long and with less than 2 dozen holdings, it’s a rather concentrated fund. What do you think of MSCI’s quality screen? Would this be an appropriate core holding in a Canadian income portfolio?
Additionally, for funds with short histories such as XDIV, how much consideration would you give to the calculated historical performance of the underlying index published by companies such as MSCI, WisdomTree, etc. Are they a reliable tool in evaluating new funds?
Thank you!
