Canadian companies that have increased dividends for last 5 years at least. It's fine. But the MER is ~66 bps, while many others are cheaper.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

CDZ is a low MER (0.6%) ETF of Canadian dividend aristocrat stocks -- over 90 holdings that have increased their dividends consistently over the past five years.  The average PE of the portfolio is 16x earnings.  Since inception it has averaged a 7.4% annual return.  We recommend setting a stop loss at $31, looking to achieve $44 -- upside potential of 18%.  Yield 3.6%

WEAK BUY
CDZ to complement XEI?

Likes XEI for dividends. Lots of large-cap banks and pipelines.

CDZ has more mid-caps than the large caps that XEI has. Includes names like KEY, CSH.UN, GWO and ARE. More diversification, but more beta. Yield is 3.8%, not bad. Could complement XEI, but you may want to look at US or global dividend strategies for more diversification.

BUY
If you want dividend growth, then you'll want to tilt more toward the cyclical areas of the economy than the defensives. One of the bellwether dividend ETFs in Canada.

BUY
CDZ-T vs. XEI-T. CDZ-T screen for companies that have increased their dividends over the last 5 years. XEI-T just screens for high dividend payers. There is a risk that the dividend could be too high and the company can't keep paying it out. The XEI-T is more volatile.
COMMENT
Looks to buy companies that growth their dividends over the last couple of years. It is done well but it is expensive at 66 basis points MER. Maybe consider the iShares TSX composite High dividend ETF where you are paying 20 basis points. He is Ok with dividend payers, doesn't need dividend growers in a stable interest rate environment. In the US the one to own is HDV.
BUY

He was buying it for diversification--it's not only about banks. There's nothing wrong with this. This ETF is about dividends as well as growth.
