BUY

Still good with rising rates? YTD it's quite positive in the face of market volatility. 1/3 energy, almost 1/3 financials, 14-15% communication. At a time of rising rates, it's important that the companies you buy have the ability to increase dividends. Most of the companies in this ETF have that ability. Trades at a discount, 15x PE, to the broader TSX at 18x PE. Yield is 3.7%.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Take a look at XEI, a high dividend ETF, geared towards a higher yield.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

This is basically energy and banks and is good for wealth preservation. Energy has had a good run in the past year and is still a good play for the short term, maybe a year. Worried that everything will drop in the next little while so this one is reasonably good.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Dividends should increase a bit to 5.5%. Likes it. Great dividend payer. Canadian banks, pipelines, insurance companies, energy, telecoms, electric companies. TD, SU, CNQ, NTR, ENB, RY. 75 holdings, not overly diversified. 22 bps, not bad at all. Great place to start for the conservative dividend equity investor.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Basket of banks, pipelines, energy, telecom, insurance, electric utilities, and so on. 3.9% yield. Good area to be in if you want to be in Canada.

E.T.F.'s

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 26/20, Up 33%) Continues to buy. Makes sense for the strong dividend income plus capital appreciation. Almost 4% yield. Established, large cap Canadian companies such as ENB, TD, RY. Will continue to see upside in the space.

E.T.F.'s

WEAK BUY

You have to be aware of the sector exposure. In overweight, high dividend ETFs, energy exposure doubles to almost 30%. If it's a standalone ETF for your retirement account, you probably want to be more diversified than that. But if it's one component of your portfolio, it's a good holding. An alternative is SDIV, which opens up the world of high dividends to you. SDIV is his preference as a one-stop shop for retirement, as it's more globally diversified without the cyclicality of the energy sector.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. An equal weight approach that holds some of the largest Canadian companies who pay larger dividends. MER is quite reasonable at 0.2%. Good for stability, modest growth and outsized yield. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT

The caller requested suggestions for higher dividend ETF. There's a number of ways to play it. Go to an ETF website to see which ETF fits your profile. Covered calls provide higher dividends.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Covered calls in ZWC give you a boost in the distribution. If market continues to go higher, you're better off owning the underlying securities. Consider XEI instead, no covered call. Owns the securities outright, and so you won't get as high a dividend, but you might get more performance. In last 6 months, XEI returned17-18%, whereas ZWC returned 10.68%.

E.T.F.'s

HOLD

Likes it. Tracks a basket of high-dividend paying stocks on the TSX. Banks, pipelines, telecom. About 40% is in cyclicals. Yield is about 5%.

E.T.F.'s

DON'T BUY

As good as VDY or ZDV. They all suffer from the same sector exposure, with large exposure to financials. With low interest rates, there's risk to owning financial services companies. Think twice about any overexposure to financials.

E.T.F.'s

TOP PICK

Provides a good opportunity for investors who want strong dividend income with established Canadian companies, but don't want a lot of risk. Top holdings are in pipelines, banks, utilities and telecoms. Still down 14% YTD, so represents a good buying opportunity. High quality companies. Low MER. Yield is 5.64%.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Dividend cut. The timing of the dividend was not in line with the quarterly dividend payouts of the underlying securities. There are also many companies that have reduced or suspended dividends because of covid. Overall, dividend expectations have come down.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XEI has a fair exposure to the overall business cycle with broad based holdings. You want to focus on areas of the market that have less impact from issues in the financial markets. He would opt more for a utility ETF (XUT) that is more of a regulated sector with a agreed return on capital and more likely to be sustained.
