Dividend investing is a long term factor strategy and this is one of the granddaddies in the sector. To be classed as Aristocrat, dividends have to have been steady or rising for 5 years in Canada and 25 years in the US holdings. Its fee is a little higher than new products. ZEI-T is perhaps another alternative with a lower fee.

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.
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%
TFSA means “Totally For Speculation Account.” Buying uranium ETF for long hold is probably great. Thinks we are seeing a bottom in uranium. It could be a triple, or maybe 10 times.
