BUY

Good option for Europe exposure. High dividends that look to be safe. Adds nice balance to portfolio. Would recommend buying. Nice covered call strategy as well.

PARTIAL BUY

In an RRSP for the long haul?

Likes exposure to Europe, of which many Canadians have minimal exposure. ZWE looks at the dividend yields of its holdings. Plus, it does some covered writing, which gives you income along the way in tradeoff for upside. Attractive yield, but consider also owning some European stocks on their own. Nice piece of diversification for your portfolio, good bit of income.

BUY

Great for investors looking for stable investment. Well diversified. Better option for investors versus one particular stock.

BUY

Good for currency hedging. Would recommend for European exposure.

HOLD

ZWE vs. ZWP

In general, Europe is good value compared to US or NA markets. Lower PE and book value, higher dividend. This one has high dividend stocks, with covered call overlay. Up 11% YTD. Makes sense for cashflow. But ZWP, holding underlying securities, gives better total return. Yield is around 7.5%.

HOLD

Good exposure for international oriented investors.
Idea of getting European exposure good.
Generally out of the money strategy.
MER = 0.71%.
Portfolio allocation depends on portfolio size.
Good for older investors looking for safe product.

BUY

International market presenting value.
All financial metrics are priced low in Europe.
High dividend exposure in ETF provides ~6% yield.
Good name to buy for long term.

DON'T BUY

Pays a high yield around 8%. Problem is he always loses money on Europe. Europe has fine companies, but lousy governments.

DON'T BUY

Popular. The "W" in the ticker symbol stands for writing, as it uses option overwriting. Nice yield. If there's stock appreciation in the underlying portfolio, about 50% of the stocks will get called away and be forcibly sold for strike prices lower than market prices. This happens in uptrending environments. Volatile. Long-term, will underperform. Fine for income and European exposure. But, if you want to participate in recovery and growth, albeit with a lower yield, look at XEH or ZEQ.

HOLD

Good exposure to European market. Don't expect much gains with conflict in Ukraine. Better options out there.

BUY

Not much this year that isn't down 20%. Good vehicle for European exposure. Includes healthy dividend yield.

COMMENT

Foreign income is taxable, along with capital gains. Important to understand tax implications.

DON'T BUY

Fairly high dividend yield of 7.5%, however he's underweight Europe at this point almost to the point of having nothing in Europe. He owns only an energy name or two. Energy crisis plus the Ukraine-Russia situation. Europe is a bit closer to a more severe downturn than we are on this side of the pond.

DON'T BUY

It has a yield of about 6%. You are investing in the European market through covered call writing. There is uncertainty in oil and gas due to the conflict and he is less bullish on Europe. The world economy is not growing especially in Europe. This is a time when you should take less risk. We are in a 'return of your capital' market, not a 'return on your capital' market

BUY

If looking for dividends this ETF is a good buy. Provides good international exposure for portfolio. No taxable benefit, but helps diversify portfolio.
