I own and like both XIC and XEI. Your videos are invaluable...your are offering a great service to novice investors! Thank you!!

I will always”like” I so appreciate the serious research that goes into your choices.

I am currently holding ZWC and EIT.UN

VDY is one of my favorite. CDZ and ZWC too

I do own ZWC and so far its been great. I even have some share appreciation. I'm investing right back in from my monthly payout. I'm interested in The other 2 as well. Thanks for the videos.

Not an index fund but I'm all in on XDIV. Monthly dividend paying ETF that's a basket of high-quality Canadian dividend paying companies. Mostly banks and utility companies.

Personally, I would go with XDIV over VDY and XEI. Because I already own XIC I feel like a nice balance to that would be a more concentrated dividend-focused ETF... if that makes any sense.

fun fact about vdy. I think the avg monthly dividend is actually 11.5 cents/mth. One month it will pay you 9cents per share the then another month it'll pay you 14 cents per share. Probably because its so heavily weighted in the Canadian banks.

I bought xei and zwc today after receiving dividen from my reit, i own a lot of the reit that is in VRE

Finally a positive view on ZWC as so many KZread channels turn away from them calling covered call ETF’s risky. Nonsense good work Brandon and thanks for the great video as always.

@@to3sted248 Dividend yields, usually expressed as percentage, is what a company might pay out to shareholders. It's usually a small amount per share. Not all stocks or ETFs offer dividends, and, similar to the worth of a stock on an exchange dividends can fluctuate (although, in my limited experience, they don't fluctuate often, or by much; last 10 months 2-3 ETFs have dropped 1 cent, but 5-6 have gone up a couple cents). They can be dispersed within a certain frequency usually monthly, quarterly, biannually, or yearly.

DGS. 17% anual dividend distributed monthly

I own VDY. 10% return since since January 2021 plus dividend pay out. Love the steady growth and devidend pay out.

Previously held 3/4. but took profits recently and now have 2/4 long term as I'm taking a more aggressive approach. All great options!

VDY pays for my internet monthly... i sold VRO plus more people work from hone, so empty commercial space it wasn’t growing much ... love the other ones too. Glad they are BBI approved...

would appreciate the breakdown of actual dividends and ROC (or if there is any in the funds that you had mentioned), and your rationale of some of the high yield ETFs which pay ROC as part of the distributions, and depreciating the cost of the fund. Thank you so much.

Hi Brendan, just an idea/suggestion for one of your future educational videos, namely a detailed explanation of what Distribution Yield, Current yield and most common subtleties regarding dividend investing, with examples of course :)) Thank you for your time and efforts to educate and make complex topics easy to digests.

I am not day trading, but looking for undervalued high dividend paying stocks for retirement.

Very interesting I don't own ETF's yet but this is exciting thank you Brandon!

FIE but i recently sold being near all time highs to buy the tesla dip. I sorta us it as a cash position till I see something on sale. Monthly 4 cent dividend.

How is Vanguard 2.48% a good yield if the inflation in 2021 was 4.2%? On average, taking the last 4 years' average inflation this is barely tracking just above the inflation rate. There are other much better options for income dividend, pretty stable and probably more than double than what Vanguard is offering.

where I can buy all these 4 ETF

ZWC is a great suggestion - I have owned a similar fund, ZWQ for BMO covered call utilities ETF. Same fund but concentrated in the utilities. Great funds for those searching for regular income. Would be nice to see similar investments for US$ income.

I'm not confused all. XEI-XIC? VWC-ZWC?

The fees per year are if you invest with a broker but if you invest with wealth simple are there yearly fees also ?

Important info that I was looking for. Have to be early for the knowledge this year thank you!

Anyone have TXF? Near 10% dividend and unlike ZWC, whose value is slowly declining over time, TXF is going up a lot. It is only tech so not very diversified, but is there another downside to this ETF?

The usual excellent work by Brandon. Please do a vid with just USA etf's like spy and vanguard. Cheers

Can you make video about hedge etf vs unhedged etf which one is better like HXQ vs XQQ?

First three appear to be expensive with less than 4% dividend at the moment.

I own a stock which has 6.97% dividend. But I get monthly return worth x 0.006 rather than getting x 0.06. How does this work? Can you help me out or explain this please ?

Thumbs up immediately. Will return to view in greater details (with a notebook)! Thanks for continuing to offer a Canadian perspective on how we can improve up here, too. 🍁

Hey everyone, I'm completely new to investing and I'm here to learn! Just based on this video I'm not sure what the advantage of investing is. In one example if I have $100,000 in one of these ETF's and receive a annual return of 0.38% minus the MER fee it's about $300. How do people get wealthy investing? I understand many do so I'm simply asking out of pure ignorance of course. Is this a case of it takes money to make money, in order to become wealthy?

@TheReelMinecraft

2 жыл бұрын

0.38% is much too low for an annual return. Perhaps its a monthly return with the annual being 4.56% ..?

As I understand, the fee for an ETF includes 2 pieces: MER and TER. In this video you only discuss MER. Is that because these companies don’t want to show the TER, or hiding it for some reason?

Hey Brandon, can you please make a video on the DIVIDEND CAPTURE STRATEGY? Does it work or not after considering taxes and other aspects?

Should you own multiple ETFS in the same portfolio? for example XIC.TO and ZCN.TO or is that a redundant approach

Hello Brandon the return you show their is on monthly basis or annually ?

With the REIT ETF only having around a dozen holdings, folks might be better off purchasing a few of the top 10 individually. They'd most likely get a better dividend payout and wouldn't have to worry about the MER. If the ETF had like 40-50+ holdings, that'd be another story.

I agree, not fond of the reit ETF. I would prefer more industrial and residential holdings. To much retail and office for my liking.

Thanks for the education. Tiny criticism: I must read not listen (you misidentify the ticker many times as if you are confused about letters)

If dividends is the goal, these "high dividends" are not that attractive. Just buy bank stocks, they pay more dividends than half these crappy etf's, and banks are poised to go higher. Some reports came out with banks planning dividend hikes also.

Hi. Can someone explain what distribution yield means and how it differs from dividend yield? There are no vids on the topic.

Thank you for these I already have 3 of them but it's nice to know someone else likes them lol 🤣 I JUST learned that I'm wasting alot of money buying the US versions of some of these Vanguard ones oopsie

With COVID potentially changing the nature of work as we know it, and with a homeless epidemic that needs to be addressed - isn't this the exact time to avoid REIT's related to retail spaces, offices, and residences?

Great variety of options Brandon ! I did not know about the ZWC and will dig a little deeper.....might be a good option for my Liff account :)

Good video!!! but i want to know how many shares to buy on these to start a portfolio,,, you mention 100 $$ but can you tell how many shares to start with a reit or etf

Hey Brandon. I like XEI and it’s the only etf I invest in(about 2 years now). Do you think it’s safe to invest everything into one etf?

hey brandon. not sure if you have covered this in another video but i had a question about etfs and the MER. is this fee deducted from the dividends when they are paid out? what happens if the etf does not have a dividend? do i need to keep cash in the account to pay? or is the MER baked into the stock price? thanks

Awesome video. I’m trying to find a REIT ETF where the biggest holding is in industrial properties (or at least really high in industrial properties). I was going to buy Dream industrial REIT and possibly H&R but was wondering if there are any high industrial ETF’s that I could buy.

ZWC and other BMO etf products has a return of capital, its part of the distribution/your money back to you. Not a true monthly dividend return.

Your explanation of the covered call strategy was excellent and very easy to understand! Thanks!

I currently have VDY and ZWC, looking forward to more monthly dividend videos.

Yes it requires capital. However, start with as many shares you can afford, and use the dividends to buy more. That is what I do and it works... Once you establish the amount of shares you want, then you can use the dividends as added income. Put them in your TFSA and you will pay 0 tax as long as it's Canadian stocks.

depends how much money your putting in monthly, if you're putting in 100 bucks a month it doesn't make sense to diversify that much IMO, but if you're putting in 1000+ a month yes you may want diversify, but never go crazy, i see some people that have 20k invested and its invested in 30 stocks, that makes no sense, you can't PROPERLY track 30 stocks, sure you can look at the charts, so you'd be smart picking 5-10 good stocks that you know inside and out and that work for you and just every month buy more, I have stocks that every single month i buy more of it.

Take a look into vanguard (VOO)

Brandon you said XIC?! not the one you meant to say.

I hold both VDY and XEI. I was contemplating whether to invest in just one of them as they are essentially the same. Not sure what I should do just now, may be I'll invest in only XEI as it's much diversified than VDY. A question that I have is if I have invested in these ETFs through a trading platform like WealthSimple, when is the MER fees get deducted? Is it deducted from the dividend that they issue or do they take the fee directly from my account?
