This is an interesting class as it has a very high dividend yield. Part of the yield is made up of the covered calls. Just remember this will limit your upside potential so they would not recommend it as a large part of your portfolio. The ZWE-T ETF offers a similar exposure to Europe markets and is also good to have some in your portfolio. Yield 5.4%.

This ETF uses MSCI’s quality screening method to select holdings. These have higher ROE and lower financial leverage. It can therefore take some time for the value to emerge compared to outright market indices. He likes it because it is liquid and attractively priced – although there may be cheaper ETFs out there (XEH-T for example). The offset is that the holdings have relatively high PE ratios due to the quality of the holdings. He would recommend ZDM-T as it offers a higher level of diversification into Asia as well.

This ETF is better than holding any individual company as it offers better diversification including some of the smaller producers. His view that these niche sector ETFs should be viewed as a speculative holding as many of the holdings are not even showing positive earnings yet. MER is 0.75%. It is a little early to consider this as a long term holding.
