5i Research Answer:

We like the BMO covered call Canadian Banks ETF (ZWB). It has a strong AUM, a solid yield of 7.25%, and a slightly higher MER of 0.71% than other ETF options. But we like this name for its balance of yield and capital appreciation. 

There is also the Global X ETF (BKCC) which has a strong yield of 13%, but this is at the expense of limiting upside potential versus ZWB. It has a 0.57% MER and lower liquidity than ZWB. 

For US banks, there is the CALL ETF. 

Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in ZWB.
