I do not know about TCSH ETF. How about the distribution yield in the past years?
The distribution of TCSH ETF is Income or Capital Gain or dividend? 50% of distribution is taxable?
Is there any risk to buy TCSH, for example, price is fluctuating or changing?

TCSH and TDB8150, which one is better?

Thank!

I would only buy these in a TD trading account. If your account is with another broker you can probably find better options.

TCSH generates interest, so the monthly distribution is taxed as such.

The price of TCSH fluctuates in a saw-tooth pattern, dropping abruptly on ex dividend and then rising slowly over the month til next ex dividend. The range of the fluctuation is generally the same as the declared distribution, recently 50.00 to 50.12.

Compared to TDB8150 the interest yield is roughly the same.
TDB8150 has no commission in TDDI, can't be bought in Easy Trade.
TCSH has no commission in Easy Trade.

TDB8150 is CDIC insured, the other one not, though I'd guess most people think dealing with TD means there are no concerns re institution failure.
