Q: Are these Canadian income ETFs a good place to sidestep potential Trump tariffs? Do you have other recommendations?

Q: If I understand correctly, HHL is a Canadian ETF that holds US or maybe global Health Care stocks, and HHL.U is the same fund in US$.
For US$ Health Care covered call ETF, would you recommend the HHL.U or would some other similar ETF be more suitable?
Thank you

Q: Being that the USD is quite high right now, what would be the best out of these three HHL ETFs to buy this fall? I have Canadian dollars so would be moving the money to USD to buy HHL.U. From their site it looks like the HHL.B is the best performer overall but I'm not clear how today's rates effect price etc.

Also would it make sense to have another fund like VHT or IYH to compliment HHL, which would give more upside over time? In one response you like VHT better - why is that?
Thanks so much!

Q: I currently just have ABBV in my portfolio so was thinking about adding an Healthcare ETF. You often mention IYH and XLV in your QandA; do you have any others that you would recommend with a higher dividend as I am an income investor who want some growth? IYH has a 3% div on 5i site, but 1% on most other sites - could you explain that? Was also thinking about adding MRK. Can you comment for a longer term hold. Thank you.

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: Good Morning,

I am considering buying HHL for income in my cash account.

There are three investment options: HHL.U is denominated in U.S. dollars; HHL is hedged back into Canadian dollars and priced in loonies; HHL.B is also priced in Canadian dollars but is unhedged.

What are you overall thoughts on this ETF and which one would be best for me to buy in my cash account?

Thanks very much.

Q: At almost 69, moving from High Growth/Risk to High Dividends. Would very much appreciate your comments on these 3. Is the 27.7% Yield on SBLK safe?????
Which would be better. Also, any W/H Tax implications in a Registered/Non-Reg account? Thanks so much!

Q: Hi guys

I am a steady eady dividend investor and have almost no healthcare exposure. I am looking to buy a ETF that gives me an exposure to the various healthcare sectors (not just pharmaceuticals), I am looking at overall growth for the units - capital gains and dividends - not just dividends. Wondering what your best ETF ideas would be for this sector. I saw Harvest Healthcare leaders recommended by Gordon Pape - don't know if you have some thoughts on that one - eg. how they squeeze such a high dividend out of it?

Thanks
