The iShares Cdn Dividend ETF, symbol XDV, presents a focused approach to high dividend-paying stocks, particularly emphasizing the top 60 companies within its making. Experts note that while XDV caters to investors seeking concentrated exposure, its alternative XEI offers a broader diversification strategy. This could be particularly appealing to those wary of overexposure to sectors like banking, energy, and life insurance that dominate the Canadian market. The ETF's yield, hovering around 4%, makes it an attractive option for income-seeking investors. However, the choice ultimately rests on individual investment preferences, considering that options such as ZWC, ZDV, and VDY each have unique characteristics and component weightings.
When you go for high-dividend payers in Canada you get the banks, insurance companies, pipelines, and some of the energy names. Yield will be a bit over 4%. A nice way to play.
Vanguard, iShares, and BMO all have offerings, but they all do it slightly differently. BMO has a covered call version, ZWC. There's ZDV, XDV, VDY. Take a look at them all and see what you like. All have different weights to the components. They're all equally good.
How to increase dividends. These are all the same thing. You get exposure to Canadian large caps. There is no diversification by being in all three. ZWU-T should replace one of them to get utilities including pipelines and telcos and less reliance on the banks. Still Canada so you need international. ZWE-T is the best international dividend payers yielding 7% with a covered call overlay. ZWS-T is the best in the US. These are the two to add to the three. These should be in a registered portfolios if you are retired because there is no divined tax credit.
Hasn’t been buying this because he tends to have a lot of banks anyway and this is heavily into the banks. However, this is fine as everyone else is concerned. A good play. You might want to consider that we have had this good dividend play for quite a while now and maybe the thing to be looking at a little bit more is something that is more growth oriented.
Is a basket of names. He prefers HDV as there is more room for growth.
