Question 1

What is ZEO?

ZEO — BMO Equal Weight Oil & Gas Index ETF — is a Canadian-listed ETF trading on the TSX. The BMO Equal Weight Oil and Gas Index ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the Solactive Equal Weight Canada Oil and Gas Index, net of expenses.

Question 3

What is the ZEO MER (management expense ratio)?

Accepted Answer

ZEO has a management expense ratio (MER) of 60% per year. This fee is automatically deducted from the fund's assets, so you never pay it directly — but it does reduce your net returns over time.

Question 5

Does ZEO pay dividends or distributions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ZEO distributes income to unitholders. The current distribution yield is approximately 2.67%, paid quarterly. Distributions may include dividends, interest, capital gains, or return of capital depending on the fund's holdings. In a TFSA or RRSP, distributions are sheltered from tax.
