thanks
Asked by Fernando on July 11, 2024
5i Research Answer:

EIF is an operating company with different divisions, so it is quite difficult to compare to the others which are ETFs. A single company implies significant more risk by default. Utilities (ZUT) should do better as interest rates decline. It has struggled (3 year return is negative 3.7%) but is up 9.6% in the past three months, showing the leverage rates can have on the sector. HTA, being tech focused, is up 40% in the past year. We would be comfortable with any of these, but today would prefer HTA for income and growth potential.
