BUY
Something for an education fund 3-5 years out, conservative with a little bit of upside growth and some dividend yield? Compared to TSX60 or a broad inch mark, it has lower volatility, better dividends and better performance over 3, 5 and even 10 years. Corporate profits have been tremendous over the last few years and are sitting on a lot of cash. One way or another that cash is going to filter out to investors through dividends, stock buyback's, mergers, etc.
TOP PICK
Steady performer. Compared to the TSX 60, it is more diversified and has about half the exposure to banks and insurance companies as well as a better dividend yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/12. Up 4.75%.)
TOP PICK
A Core holding. Especially in Canadian market it is giving him 80 companies in the TSX 60 plus more dividend payers, which have outperformed the TSX.
BUY
Has a lot more bank exposure than such as the S&P/TSX 60 ETF (XIU-T) but either one is fine..
BUY
For smaller portfolio, an ETF works better. Longer-term you want to own the actual stock.
BUY
A good ETF for a senior’s portfolio for income.
TOP PICK
Canadian dividend and income ETF. Focused on companies that not only have dividends but also grown dividends over the last 5 years. Gives an interesting mix with a mid-cap flavour.
COMMENT
Cdn Div & Income ETF (CDZ-T) or iUnits Div ETF (XDV-T) for share price growth? They'll both be about the same as they essentially hold the same securities. They buy large-cap stocks in Canada that pay dividends.
BUY
Good, plain ETF, which is his favorite type. Provides a steady, boring, predictable cash flow.
COMMENT
Dividend Product with Russell Metals and banks.
BUY
Canadian dividend and income ETF. Management fee of .6% or less.
BUY
Dividend ETF. Pays a nice monthly income of 5%. Also see XDV-T
BUY
Canadian dividend. 4.5% yield. Pays monthly.
BUY
(His Company.) Focused on companies that consistently grow their dividends every single year. A company has to grow its dividends 5 years straight or it is ineligible. Also has income trusts.
