Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research
XDIV looks solid with a low MER and distribution yield near 5%. It is a smaller ETF with under $1B in assets under management but it did outperform some of the names on the list. The concentrated holdings likely allow XDIV to offer the lower MER that it provides but that can be riskier. XDIV does aim to invest in low risk companies however so the concentration risk is somewhat offset. We think XDIV is a decent income option.

VDY vs XEI ETF? VDY and XEI is very similar and their prices track closely. VDY tends to hold higher financial sector exposure, where yields are generally higher. Whereas XEI holds the highest yield payers on the composite Index. He also likes XDIV which has the lowest MER (0.11%). It holds "quality" holdings, using an algorithm to pick higher ROE, lower levered companies with earnings stability.
