TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Those looking for global diversification, invested in utilities, with an enhanced yield will like HUTL. We like that about one-third of the portfolio is in US equities, Canada is just over 10%, with Europe representing the rest. It uses a covered-call writing strategy to boost the dividend yield from a portfolio average of 4.0% up over 7.5%. The MER is only 0.5%. In a market that is priced efficiently, this is a good diversification strategy. Yield 7.73%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With overriding concerns growing about the state of markets, we again reiterate this defensive global utility ETF priced in Canadian dollars as a TOP PICK. Utilities are better able to manage inflationary pressures and rising interest rates than most companies as these costs are able to be passed directly along to the consumer. We like the global diversification and its yield. We recommend sliding the stop loss down to $17.75 to account for current market volatility. Yield 7.4%

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research
HUTL owns global utility companies, and sells options on 33% of its portfolio. Considering the sector and the possibility of lower interest rates ahead, we would be comfortable buying for income-seeking investors.

Both offer similar exposure. He doesn't looked at HUTL's foreign exposure, but likes both as a strategy. They take turns outperforming each other. Even. Both are good.
