The iShares Cdn Dividend ETF (XDV-T) is recommended for its strong performance in comparison to other Canadian dividend strategies, specifically XEI. It boasts a higher concentration in the banking and financial sectors, with financials comprising 36% and insurance 15% of its holdings. However, experts note that financial valuations are becoming stretched, suggesting that investors who are heavily weighted in this ETF might consider taking some profits. XEI, on the other hand, offers slightly better diversification with 25% in financials and only 6% in insurance, providing a potential for greater upside. Moreover, for investors seeking a monthly income with a focus on global diversification, it’s suggested to consider options like VDY or CYH for better opportunities.

Valuation

VDY

BUY

ETF basket of shares weighted more to common than preferred. Gives you both dividends and growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 18/06. Up 10%.) Wanted an instrument to give a decent cash flow while waiting for the market to settle down.

BUY

Not a bad place to put your money. Should be very safe from here until the end of the year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 18/06. Up 3% not including dividends reinvested.) Performance comes from the reinvestment of cash flow. Great place to be for a lot of investors because it tends to have a lot less volatility.

BUY

Gives you a well-diversified portfolio of Canadian dividend stocks.

BUY

An indexed dividend fund. Has a management expense ratio of about 50 basis points.

TOP PICK

With market corrections, interest-rate hikes and a lot of noises in between, longer-term investors need to look at instruments that are going to have decent cash flow while they wait. Don't buy as a growth, but only as a yield play.

DON'T BUY

Suggests getting individual stocks instead of a dividend stock, because if one sector gets hit then the whole portfolio is down.

TOP PICK

A stronger performing sector in the mutual fund area is dividend growth funds. History of the S&P 500 or TSE 60, shows that between 56% and 63% has been generated by the reinvestment of dividends. This iUnit is based on blue-chip Canadian stocks with a history of dividends and an increase in them.

BUY

Offers diversification in dividend paying stocks. One of the great things about E.T.F.'s is that MER's are incredibly low, so you're getting an index strategy and diversification and you are only paying a low amount. Also gives you liquidity.
