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.

Both are OK, but he'd pick XEI, as its performance has been a bit better. Fee's a bit lower. Volatility is relatively similar for both. If oil prices fall, both will be impacted. You can look at the weighting of oil in each to decide how much oil you want in your portfolio.
There is a nuance between the strategies. CDZ looks for companies that are increasing their dividends (but they might only have a 0.5% dividend). XEI focuses more on high-dividend payers.
