Q: Hello!
Now that I’ve reached the age of RRIF withdrawals, I’m looking more closely at income and therefore at covered-call ETFs.
I understand that these instruments don’t fully share in the upsides, but the income of ETFs like EIT, TXF and ZWU is pretty solid.
I’ve also been looking at UMAX its unbelievable 14% yield, but I also see that the unit price has declined quite dramatically over the last few years.
So questions are, how do you feel about these ETFs for income? And if you’re okay with them, which would you recommend?
Thanks for all your help
Michael

Q: I am relooking at the Fixed Income portion of my portfolio. The bulk is bond funds, but it also includes a few GIC’s and a HISA. But what about Preferred Shares, EIT, FIE, TXF, and UMAX, all of which I hold STRICKLY for their distributions? I am currently grouping them in with my dividend stocks but maybe they should be included in Fixed Income? EIT and FIE have paid out the same distribution for ten plus years. Thanks.
