The iSHARES SP TSX COMP HIGH DIV INDEX ETF (XEI) is considered a strong option for those seeking high monthly dividends and potential capital appreciation, especially within a registered account like an RRSP. Experts praise XEI's focus on high-dividend payers while acknowledging its 25% exposure to Canadian banks, which some believe offers a reliable income stream. Compared to other ETFs, XEI has shown better performance, lower fees, and a more favorable diversification approach. With a yield of around 3.5-4.5%, analysts suggest that it may be a strategic addition, particularly given the potential benefits from rising oil prices and national projects in Canada. However, individuals heavily invested in certain sectors should assess their current portfolio before making an investment decision.
Used to think it was too expensive, but when Blackrock chopped the prices on a number of their ETF’s, including this one, it made it worthwhile. Plus it is paying a dividend of about 4%. This is more for his income focused accounts.
