BMO International Dividend Hedged to CAD ETF
ZDH-T
COMMENT
Jun 14, 2021
Still holds ZWP. Would rotate with ZDH, which is an international dividend play. If you are really bullish, you want the dividend pure exposure. If not, play the covered call version. Right now, he holds both. More excited about Europe's valuation than US markets. Increasing exposure to international markets.
Hedged international dividend ETF. Not all ETFs take off in the market place so this one does not have a lot of assets at present. When investing internationally, the most important factor in returns is currency. He thinks it will take off.
Comment on an ETF Basket of ZWE-T, ZDH-T and ZWH-T. ZWE-T is high dividend Euro stocks with a covered call. A defensive way to play Europe. ZDH-T is hedged. ZWH-T is international High Dividend US, non-hedged. He likes them all and owns them in his funds.
He advocates ZWE-T because it has the covered call strategy. Either one is good late cycle to play dividend payers. But you are not immune to the cycle. It would not be a bad holding.
He prefers ZDI-T at this point, but you are at the high end of the range so he is not that excited about adding new money at this time. He prefers ZWP-T or ZWE-T for a covered call at the moment.
He likes the international side. However, it has too much European content and its largest holdings are in France, Japan and Germany. He thinks that Brexit will help the UK stocks, which are not well represented. ZEQ would be a better choice for a European ETF.
