BUY

Focused on dividend stocks on the S&P at medium risk. He's done well with it. It covers value-oriented stocks.

WEAK BUY

Another way to get US exposure. Dividend-appreciating stocks, rebalanced for you. Dividends are a reasonably good way to look at a portfolio. One shortfall is it doesn't consider share buybacks.

Consider shareholder yield products, such as SYLD.

BUY

An offshoot of VIG (US dollar version). Holds a basket of rising dividends over the past 10 years, like JNJ and Visa. Important to invest in rising, not static dividends as interest rates rise. Pays a 2.2% dividend yield. This remains good. For more growth though lower dividends, look at VVL. Consider taxation in a non-registered account.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 03/21, Down 6%) S&P 500 companies that have been increasing their dividends. More of a value play. It's come down with everything else, but he still likes and holds it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 09/20, Up 14%) It was disappointing many months after ETFs rose while VGG did nothing since November. Only in the last 3 months has this moved up. It's a conservative play, holding dividend growers.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 08/21, Up 32%)Note: His 3rd past pick was cash. VGG includes US companies that always increase dividends, quality companies. VGG did very well until last November then lagged, but has recently revivsed as dividend growth returns to the US market. He's happy with it and would add shares.

TOP PICK

Still buying this. Companies have so much cash that they will raise their dividends. There are also many solid companies like P&G and JNJ. 0.3% MER. Earlier this year, when growth stocks rallied, dividend stocks lagged, but that has since changed. See also his past picks.

TOP PICK

US companies that are constantly increasing their dividends over time. It has a lot of very familiar names in it. He thinks it will continue to perform well. It is more into the value sector.

TOP PICK

An alternative to straightforward S&P500. These focus on about 181 dividend growers. It has all the biggest, solid companies. He has been buying a lot of this one lately. Yield 1.41%

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 04/18, Up 18%) Companies that consistently pay higher dividends. It's important to look at dividend growth. Very low cost.

HOLD

Tends to do well if rates are flat or rising. Holdings are solid, Microsoft, P&G, Visa, Walmart. Equity markets are overbought, but we're also seasonally in a good spot.

COMMENT

VIG vs. VGG in a non-taxable account? And will the CAD go down? The USD won't go down, but he won't speculate on currencies' directions. It's impossible. But BIG is great. VGG is the Canadian one and you can buy it, but there's an extra cost with it. He prefers VIG, the USD one.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 15/18, Up 16%) Filters out the companies with good dividends appreciation. A good batch of companies that grows dividends. They are showing good consistent growth.

TOP PICK

With this, you get American stocks whose dividends have been increasing for the past 10 years. So this value-oriented, getting Pepsi and McDonald's instead of tech.

BUY

He likes this one. It is low in fee and dividend appreciation is a very attractive theme. This is non-hedged.
