The iShares Cdn Dividend ETF (XDV-T) is recognized for its attractive monthly dividend payments, making it a noteworthy option among dividend income-focused investors. However, experts suggest a preference for greater diversification, especially in comparison to other ETFs such as VDY or CYH. XDV holds a substantial portion of its assets in banks (approximately 38-39%) and less than 30% in energy, which leads to a call for diversification strategies, particularly for those heavily invested in BCE. While BCE has underperformed, XDV has seen decent performance, prompting some analysts to recommend alternatives like ZWU for better yield and reduced concentration risk. Overall, while XDV can be an appealing choice, experts emphasize the importance of maintaining a well-diversified portfolio.

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.
