Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Both of the above 2 ETFs are pretty well100% focused on health care with very similar make up (65% US, 35% non-US), why then there is such a big difference in dividend yield, Life pays 7.1% while XHC pays 1.05% in dividend.
Cheers,

Q: Hello 5i Team. I'm thinking of starting a small position (1-2%) in LIFE.B (unhedged) in global healthcare for both capital appreciation and yield. Fund would be held in my taxable account for long term hold. Given that holdings are geographically; 55% US and remainder European what will taxation look like? I assume that the 15% withholding tax would be apply to the dividend even with geographic distribution of holdings? Any other tax implications that I need to be aware of? Your recent comments on the fund on May 228/28, 2020 were also very helpful. Thx Steve.
