iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF (CDZ $43.33)
Q: Can you please tell me a bit more about ZDV, especially about the rule-based methodology including minimum 3-year dividend growth, pay out ratios and yield (read this in the G&M)? ZDV has more financials - is this a good time to hold more Bank stocks? Would ZDV be a good compliment to CDZ that I already hold?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Good morning team. I am considering "parking" some funds in a high interest savings account fund, such as HIRA-NE. From what I read, it is directly correlated to the bank of Canada rate and it happens in real time. Does it offer the same level of preservation of capital as a GIC and is the capital protected? Is this a safe place to park funds over the $100,000 threshold?
Much appreciated

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently own the above noted renewable energy utilities. I am thinking of selling AQN. If I did so, (and I would like to keep it in renewables) would you recommend putting the proceeds towards one of the above or something like NPI or possibly a renewable energy ETF. Could you recommend 1 to 3 ETFs?
Thanks!!
