It's like XTR--the yield you seem to get is not what you're enirely getting. He'd rather do straight bond ETF or covered call one.
E.T.F.'s
HOLD
Fixed dividend. It has a huge exposure to corporate bonds, preferred shares and a lot of the banks and insurance companies. There will be some dividend impairment for 6 months or a year. He would stick with it. If dividends get cut by the companies in it, then the ETF's dividend will probably be cut.
E.T.F.'s
COMMENT
A financial, dividend paying strategy. Has banks, insurance companies and dividend payers. A concentrated investment in financials so keep this in mind for allocation. Around 6% yield. However, underlying is not earning 6%, so there is a return of capital. A tax effective way to get exposure to financials.
E.T.F.'s
There are two elements to covered call strategies. There is the underlying stocks, and then the option premium. Volatility will continue to be high for the next couple years. Premiums will remain elevated. FIE pays back a part of your money back. There are a couple different elements to consider.
