Q: The US versions of these ETFs have high yields. I am selling some of my more volatile RRSP holdings and want to move the funds into ETFs that add stability and a return of 8-10% with dividend/growth. Are these ETF's considered relatively stable. and is there a point that they should be considered less stable, for example, if interest rates rise. The Cdn equiv show no dividend. Is there a reason for this?

Q: Hi 5i Team
What would be the tax implication of holding these two etf on non-register account? Are they both subject to the 15% witholding tax and if they are is it better to keep it in a USD account to avoid currency risk and better liquidity?

Q: Is this new to the TSX ETF which trades in Canadian dollars hedged? Is it the same as the US version but just in a different currency or are there other differences? Other comments?
