The iShares High Dividend Equity ETF (HDV-N) has garnered positive feedback from experts for its steady dividend-paying strategy. It is often favored for investors seeking alternatives to XEI, particularly due to its low management expense ratio (MER). Though not heavily focused on growth, the ETF provides a reliable income source, with a yield of approximately 3%. Its composition does not primarily feature mega-cap stocks, which could appeal to those looking for a more diversified dividend play without exposure to high-flying growth companies. Overall, HDV-N serves as a prudent option for conservative investors seeking steady returns.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Looking for an ETF similar to XEI, with low MER.

Likes, but doesn't hold right now. Very steady, dividend-paying strategy. Not growth-oriented, as it doesn't necessarily have the mega-cap names. This gives you a place to start. Yield is ~3%.

BUY

Solid ETF dividend strategy with US names.

BUY

Higher-dividend names, but not necessarily dividend-appreciation names. An ETF like this might actually have more leverage in the falling interest-rate environment that we're in now.

BUY

Great product with high dividend - so don't expect much capital appreciation. 

COMMENT
ETF in US with monthly dividend?

This is the one that comes to mind. 3.75% yield. XOM, ABBV, VZ, JNJ, CVX. There's a similar one in Canada that's hedged, MER will be higher.

There are about half a dozen similar ETFs you could look at from Vanguard, iShares and SPDR.

HOLD
Tends to recommend this as more recession-resistant, with a MER of only 8 basis points. Not recession-proof, as it holds some oil and gas. Good dividend strategy.
BUY

A US high dividend ETF. It is available as XHD-T in Canada as a hedged wrapper. It looks for companies with an economic moat. It is a good product, the dividend is good and the performance has been okay. The question is the currency exposure. It may help you or hurt you. XHD-T will insulate you from movements in the currency.

COMMENT

[US Income] This is not going to be a great growth area. High Growth should go into a TFSA, so this one goes into a registered account.

COMMENT

Pretty well diversified amongst different sectors. The idea is to get a very high dividend for shareholders. He would be cautious about being too overweight in dividend paying names, because as interest rates start to move up, these would be proxy for bonds and could have a sideways movement.

BUY

A dividend paying ETF that he can hold for the next few months without worrying? His preference is to overweight US equities and he likes this one. This will hold names such as AT&T, Verizon, J&J, Procter & Gamble, Wells Fargo, etc, a broad base of different sectors. Pays a pretty decent dividend of probably 3%-4%.

COMMENT

US dividend ETF? The go to high dividend name that he likes would be this. It holds names like AT&T which pays a pretty high dividend plus others. The fund has done well, and is up about 15% per year over the last 3 years. The yield is about 3.5%.

PAST TOP PICK

Recommended at $57.53 now 69.08 up 24.28% High yield US companies. Very stable.

TOP PICK
This is falling back on a more defensive scene. The average yield of this basket of stocks is about 4.2%. Because it is mainly in healthcare, consumer staples and telecom, it has a very low beta compared to the S&P.
