Brooke ThackrayBMO US Dividend Hedged to CADZUD.TOBUYFeb 23, 2017

ZDY-T vs. ZUD-T. They are identical holdings. ZUD-T has a currency hedge. He buys ZDY-T to get exposure to the US dollar as well as US dividends. If he thinks the CAD$ will get stronger, he trades to ZUD-T. You can also get ZDY.U-T to buy it in US$.

Hold off until after the election? We have bigger concerns over the next year than the US election. Europe fracturing next year is a bigger risk for global markets. ZWH-T gives you higher dividend payers, but is not currency hedged. He sees a 10% correction minimum in the next 6 months.

US dividend stocks? There are a couple of different ways to play this. You could do this through and equally weighted diversified basket of ETF dividend payers like this one. He would go with a hedged version. If things are going to recover, the Cdn$ is going to get a bit stronger, and you want to make sure you are hedged.

This dividend ETF looks interesting in terms of its components. Has been attracting a lot of fund flows.
