Investor Insights

The iShares Cdn Financial Monthly Income ETF (FIE-T) has been reviewed by experts who express concerns regarding its income generation strategy. Primarily, the ETF provides a fixed payout, which is funded through a return of capital rather than from genuine income generated by its underlying holdings. This approach leads to a situation where the ETF pays a yield that exceeds its actual earnings, raising questions about its sustainability. Additionally, the use of options to generate income further complicates the investment's risk profile. While it offers an attractive dividend yield exceeding 6%, many experts suggest that investors could find better alternatives for generating income with more growth potential.

COMMENT

An ETF with return of capital

It has a fixed payout. The underlying holdings don't generate that income. So, you get part of your money back.

BUY

It pays a higher yield than what it's earning. To generate income, it uses options. Is a tax-efficient income vehicle, but has no growth.

DON'T BUY

It pays over a 6% dividend yield, but this is less than what this ETF is earning. Doesn't like this. Are better ways to earn income.

PARTIAL BUY

Good option for real estate investors. Safer bet than over valued tech stocks. Also provides decent yield. Could also be a good option with falling interest rates.

DON'T BUY

Strong dividend payouts has led to shares being traded for long time. Not a strong return on capital. Would not recommend buying.

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.

COMMENT

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.

DON'T BUY

It is not really diversified. This is extremely concentrated. You need to question your confidence in dividends. There is a reason this has an 8% yield and it is not because it is a safe haven.

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.

DON'T BUY

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.

COMMENT

Been around for a long time. Very popular on its initial launch. Diversified financials. If you are very yield sensitive you should perhaps consider keeping it. If you are thinking of it as a real kinda cushion for your savings he would recommend a more diversified portfolio beside just financials. 53% bank allocation.

COMMENT

When you get a return of capital you are getting some of your own money back. In the next downturn, this will probably lose in the range of 30%. It's a fine ETF and the distributions are bigger than the underlying holdings. He does not like it from a couple of perspectives but there is nothing else wrong with it.

BUY

Which Canadian financials ETF to buy? Do you want income or equal weight? Defer capital gains? FIE-T pays a monthly income and include preferred shares, corporate bonds and banks stocks, so it's diversified. If you don't want this income and prefer exposure and a total return swap and defer the taxation, then he suggests HEWB-T. You don't get dividends, so it's a great way to defer capital gains. But do you want to pay an MER to hold the big 6 Canadian banks?

DON'T BUY

Thumbs down. It has a fixed distribution of 7% and if you look at what it holds you are looking at 3.5 to 4% so you are getting a return of your own money back.

DON'T BUY

What percentage of the distribution would be return of capital, not profits? You can look it up on the iShares website. He hasn't looked at this ETF in a while. It's an asset-allocation portfolio ETF. It uses a lot of financials and their bond and preferred issues to build a high-yielding portfolio. It also uses 15% leverage to juice its distribution to clients. It has a mixed of assets--preferreds and bonds. Pays nearly a 7% dividend. This underperforms financial sector ETFs, either flat or lower. This should stay flat on a capital basis. Look at XFN instead. basis. IT pays a 6.% but that means little stock price movement.
