Stan WongiShares High Dividend EquityHDVCOMMENTFeb 15, 2024

Likes, but doesn't hold right now. Very steady, dividend-paying strategy. Not growth-oriented, as it doesn't necessarily have the mega-cap names. This gives you a place to start. Yield is ~3%.

Solid ETF dividend strategy with US names.

Higher-dividend names, but not necessarily dividend-appreciation names. An ETF like this might actually have more leverage in the falling interest-rate environment that we're in now.

Great product with high dividend - so don't expect much capital appreciation. 

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.

[US Income] This is not going to be a great growth area. High Growth should go into a TFSA, so this one goes into a registered account.

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%.

US dividend ETF? The go to high dividend name that he likes would be this. It holds names like AT&T which pays a pretty high dividend plus others. The fund has done well, and is up about 15% per year over the last 3 years. The yield is about 3.5%.

Recommended at $57.53 now 69.08 up 24.28% High yield US companies. Very stable.
