BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF.ZCN.TODON'T BUYJul 25, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 04, 2026. Market Open.
ZDV has no covered writing, nothing fancy. Financials are ~41%, energy ~18%. In a correction, generally the dividend stocks do better because they have the cash yields attached to them. Also because it usually has a greater weighting in utilities (these still provide needs, not wants, in a downturn).
ZCN has less exposure to financials or to the dividend side of the equation. Has fewer utilities. More oil & gas, gold, metals, materials. In a resource boom, and with all the things tied to AI, this one will do better.
XIC-T vs. ZCN-T. He does not know the difference between them. The Canadian market is the least diversified in the world. He does not want to own anything that tracks the TSX unless we are in boom time in the banks or commodities. He does not invest in ETFs.
