You give up performance for income, so you don’t get where you want to go. He’d dissuade someone from using this one. Use a global ETF. Or even make it simple with 50% in XBB and 50% in something like XWD, and on your birthday, just rebalance.
(A Top Pick June 1 / 2017 , Up 1%) Gain has gone out of it in last 6 weeks, but they’ll add to their position. Stocks influenced by Euro directly, so Germany and France are #1 and 2. Doesn’t think tax will be put on. Will bounce once trade war rhetoric blows over.
