COMMENT

Believes this has a number of different assets so you can get some fairly high sounding yields but, you also have to take into account, you can’t always trust yield. An interesting ETF, but he would not rely on it entirely for the income side of your portfolio.

WEAK BUY

Stable product, as good as any in that space. He is not worried about it.

COMMENT

Why hasn’t there been a jump in the monthly distribution since the big Canadian banks increased their dividends? This one is very diversified. Have all kinds of different income generating products in it, so the banks are just one component. This is one of the reasons the MERs on this is high at around 90. For a person who wants a well diversified fund and are paying under a point, nothing wrong with this at all.

COMMENT

This is probably fine.

BUY

Combination of preferreds, fixed income and dividends. Nice mix. For a conservative, passive investor, this is probably a pretty decent hold. Going forward if you want yield you have to go for dividend yield and be a little more active. It is a tough call for people.

DON'T BUY
It is banks and some insurance. Good income product. He has stayed away from anything with the insurance companies because SLF and MFC failed to hedge their positions.
COMMENT
Cdn Financial Monthly Income ETF. Essentially a basket of ETF type products. Has a higher MER than a standard bond fund. He hasn't used this but in a smaller portfolio, it could be very useful.
BUY
Cdn Fin Month Income ETF. This one is about as secure as it gets. If you’re looking for secure monthly income with preservation, this is great.
BUY
You are fine with this product but he prefers the BMO products because he likes pure bank plays and is hoping they'll have options on them someday.
