Q: Is NDIV a reasonably good natural resources fund? Only 3 years old, has minimal AUM, and there is no Morningstar rating. Selects dividend paying natural resource companies globally. Could be attractive IF it’s managed by Kevin Simpson , who seems to be a great manager running covered call strategies. I cannot tell if NDIV follows such a strategy. Information on ETF data sites is scanty. Would appreciate very much your insight and comments including whether this ETF is a good diversifier. MER 0.59%.

Q: With energy stocks lower due to this trade war, would this be a good time to look at getting into this sector assuming it would be through an energy ETF? If so, do you have a few names that trade in Canada that provide a decent return, and some safety through a lower payout ratio? Thanks for your insight.

Q: I purchased this to get exposure to energy, get the high dividend (now approx. 13%), and have an ETF focused more on US energy companies (vs. Canadian). I've held it about 15 months now and I'm down 10%. I expect there is some ROC affecting the share price (are you able to confirm?). In general, what are your thoughts on EMAX for stability and as an income play?
