Q: What is your opinion on ZPAY- cash account. Retired investor looking for income.
Any concerns or alternative recommendations in current environment?
Thank you!
Q: Can you give me your read on ZPAY. Looking for an income component of my portfolio with a good capital preservation. The dividend seems high, which I like, but based on their holding leaves me wondering where the revenue is coming from and will it be a safe allocation of capital. Your comments on it trading below NAV would also be appreciated.
Much appreciated
Q: Hello 5i,
I’m helping a conservative investor with a tfsa. Vbal makes up half of the account.
In trying to boost monthly income I’ve come up with the above etfs.
Based on 2020 distributions,how would each of the above etfs be taxed if held in a tfsa?
Also, can you please verify the sector exposure of zup (similar to pff - usd) I thought the financial % was underweight.
Q: I hold the US portion of my portfolio in my RRSP. It represents roughly 20% of my total investment. I do not need to convert to RRIF for another 5 years and at that time will be taking the minimum required.
I currently hold ZQQ; ZPAY; ZDY; ZWH; ZSP.
I am thinking of switching my holdings to the following in roughly equal amounts: ZPAY; VUN; ZSP; ZNQ; XSU.
The objective is to get better coverage of the total US market through XSU and VUN. Maintain coverage of S&P 500 through ZSP. For Tech switching to non hedged via ZNQ. ZPAY will still provide good income with perhaps some downside protection through its options strategy.
Your thoughts and recommendations of alternatives.
The rest of my portfolio in my Non-Registered account and TFSA follow a mixture of your 3 portfolios which by the way have provide me with a return of 12 - 15% in the past 6 plus years.
Q: Why the strong differences in type of assets (cash) held between ZPAY and ZWC? Are they not trying to do much the same thing?
And would you remind me of the tax implications on ZPAY dividends when held in a RIF
With thanks
Q: I own a fair amount of zpay for combination of yield and exposure to the US market. Can you explain why it has been weak while US markets have continued to rise?
Q: Good morning, Besides PAYF writing covered calls to enhanced yield, would there be enough difference in correlation in invest in both of these investments, or too much overlap, thanks?
Q: With BAM's takeover of BPY I will have some cash in my RRSP to invest. I want to add to my position in the US market. I currently hold the above ETFs in my RRSP in fairly equal weightings and represents a total of 20% of my total investible assest. The cash from BPY would represent a half position relative to my other US holdings. I do not need to RRIF for another 8 years.
2 questions:
1. Can you recommend another ETF for the US market in CAD that might supplement my current holdings or simply add proportionally to my existing holdings.
2. I am a bit concerned about the S&P 500 and the recent addition of Tesla which is at a stratospheric valuation in addition to the FANG stocks which are also at high valuations. (I also have a position in FANG with ZQQ). Would a switch to EQL or similar ETF provide a better balance and take advantage of a more broad market recovery in 2021.
Thanks.
Q: Hi, In a severe or even a moderate market correction, how do u think this ETF would perform, even though it hasn't been around all that long, thanks?
Q: Hello 5i Team.
Point of clarification on your reply to Leonard yesterday regarding ZPAY. My understanding is that any dividends from this ETF will be subject to the with holding tax, which is then recoverable upon tax filing. If this is the case, then does it matter if this ETF is held in a RRSP or cash account, if the tax is recoverable?
Due to the options strategy of the ETF, what tax implications are there on any capital gains the ETF may incur?
Please deduct as required. Many tx for the continued help.
