The iShares High Dividend Equity ETF (HDV-N) stands out as a top recommendation for investors seeking high monthly dividends and capital appreciation, particularly within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). With a yield of approximately 2.7%, it focuses on prominent U.S. high-dividend stocks such as ExxonMobil (XOM), AbbVie (ABBV), Chevron (CVX), and Verizon (VZ), thereby providing exposure to stable income with relatively lower volatility compared to the broader market. Furthermore, its appeal is enhanced by the availability of a replica ETF listed in Canada, catering to investors looking for similar strategies. Conversely, another recommended ETF shares characteristics with XEI, emphasizing a steady, non-growth-oriented dividend-paying approach with a yield of about 3% and a low management expense ratio (MER), making it an attractive option for conservative investors. Collectively, both options provide solid avenues for generating income through dividends while maintaining a degree of capital stability.
A US high dividend ETF. It is available as XHD-T in Canada as a hedged wrapper. It looks for companies with an economic moat. It is a good product, the dividend is good and the performance has been okay. The question is the currency exposure. It may help you or hurt you. XHD-T will insulate you from movements in the currency.
Pretty well diversified amongst different sectors. The idea is to get a very high dividend for shareholders. He would be cautious about being too overweight in dividend paying names, because as interest rates start to move up, these would be proxy for bonds and could have a sideways movement.
A dividend paying ETF that he can hold for the next few months without worrying? His preference is to overweight US equities and he likes this one. This will hold names such as AT&T, Verizon, J&J, Procter & Gamble, Wells Fargo, etc, a broad base of different sectors. Pays a pretty decent dividend of probably 3%-4%.
