Q: I am retired and in an income based RRSP your thoughts on switching ARC, SUNCOR and TOPAZ to the higher yielding EMAX and or ENCC
5i Research Answer:
It is always hard to compare single companies to an ETF. The ETFs noted offer more diversification and higher yields, but may see lower capital gains in a sector rally than a group of three sector companies. But, if an investor wants enhanced sector income, and understands covered call funds, we would be fine with a switch. We would prefer ENCC of the two.
