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

[@annehenderson7911]

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

[@lichellecruz5744]

I own txf, incredible return for the past 10years plus over 10% divy, super love it

Hey Brandon! We need a podcast of all your KZbin videos! I would love to listen while I’m at work! Could help grow your channel, love what your doing!

[@beaviswealth]

We have one set up Mark! Search The Investing Academy Podcast and we put all the videos into audio form 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@patrickbelanger6253]

VDY is one of my favorite. CDZ and ZWC too

[@lesliemcfarlane783]

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.

[@jsh8205]

Do you use a specific app?

[@jefferyhatch2838]

I’m looking at going into ZWC this year

[@Rob-ob3sh]

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

[@jassilavkainen9027]

Right? From the videos I've watched, it seemed like covered calls are even a better bet than buying your normal ETF's.

[@michaelhamilton-piercy6703]

Your paying too much in fees... there are better options...

[@Roger-of5ij]

@@michaelhamilton-piercy6703 Curious what better options you are referring to, Michael?

[@leowilson4539]

I am currently holding ZWC and EIT.UN

[@lofiseed]

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.

[@DannE11TV]

Those two last ETFs were extremely interesting. Had to bust out my research book n take notes and also ended up placing VRE & ZWC in my watchlist ! Respects Brandon !

[@cantonpop]

i owned almost all of them!!! But still it's good to know more about these ETFs from Brandon's perspectives!

[@anne-mariel3256]

I feel same way. I have them all but sold VRO.

[@mastertrader3491]

What's the difference between the NAV and the Market Value please, and also difference between Management fee and MER, thanks

[@kaos6093]

I hold VDY ZWC EIT and DFN for dividend stocks. So far they are all great!

[@paulsantori8920]

Take a look at LBS and ENS if you want to add some more monthly income and diversification. They are both split corps like DFN.

[@Schecter1989]

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.

[@alejandroruiz4891]

Hey Brandon, I wanted to thank you for all your content! I started investing last year and learned a lot from your channel. Thanks for telling us about Canadian Tire last year too ;) Keep up the great work!

[@ericarosemenasanchez8838]

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.

[@ledeux]

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

[@BastardWalrus]

I'm quite novice at this, been watching lots of videos from you and others about investing in Canada. Some holdings I have are in: XDIV, XIU, ZIC, ZMI, ZWU, NXF, and RIT are some dividend ETFs I own. I do own a share of ZWC and I have looked at VDY and XEI before, but as I stated I'm quite green at this; I've learned a lot in the last 2 months, however.

[@JSB-2Z-2K]

what worked out best for you from all these?

[@BastardWalrus]

@@JSB-2Z-2KI'm looking for good dividends and NXF has the most dividends so far. Fairly cheap too. RIT has been good too.

[@to3sted248]

@@BastardWalrus can you explain dividends? Sorry I’m just really new at this and want to learn 😇

[@BastardWalrus]

@@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.

[@to3sted248]

@@BastardWalrus So basically the company pays you for investing in them?? And How much do they pay you like does it depend on how much you’re investing in them?

[@Slimshady316]

Loved the video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Can you please make a similar video for US Dividend ETF's. Thank you 🙂

[@dhkchung8219]

FYI, BMO charges NO COMMISSION FEE on VDY & XEI, and 80 other ETFs from iShares, Vanguard and BMO..

[@darkbroseph]

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

[@mattcap5103]

I don’t get the point to own 3% returns dividends when the inflation price is around the same percentage. Could someone explain this ? How is it profitable?

[@sarahanne3612]

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

[@kimsakura8494]

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.

[@smokey8400]

Great info but where would you use these in RSP or TFSA? Only 1 of these keep up with inflation do what's the point?

[@averagejane09]

As always, great presentation and so informative. So grateful for your channel. I am late in the investing game so I won't be in the position to gain as much as I would have starting this younger....however, this gives me a chance to help my son learn investing young so he will be further ahead than I was. Not entirely clear on what "call out" means but will look it up! Thank you.

[@jupitereye4322]

There are better options than what is presented in this video. These are probably very stable investments but not yielding much.

[@gregdilan5482]

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. Cheers !!

[@citypro3099]

I have own the stock like u too. But only 2 shares per stock. How do u know this stock? Do u research or by u self ? What is mostly u want on stocks? Daily trade for profit or Dividend payment?

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.

[@jkwacker8225]

With the fees you mentioned are we just paying the MER? I also see a management fee. Is that fee part of the MER or something we have to add to the MER? Just looking for clarification.

[@biomolecologo]

that's part of the MER. The MER is all you are going to pay for an ETF.

[@rickjames342]

@@biomolecologo do you also know if the yield is after the Mer or before? Thanks

[@biomolecologo]

@@rickjames342 the price of the MER is blended into the share price of the ETF, but I think the yield is calculated before subtracting the MER. So the actual yield is the posted one minus the MER. But I might be wrong.

Yield is after MER

[@mohitwadhwa86]

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

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

[@badwifiop]

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

[@wongralvju]

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

Is doing stock on wealthsimple is good or not ?

[@vanessameneghelliarantesvi6922]

Not sure how to use the Wealthsimple trade... I've downloaded the app, which does not say "trade" and I don't see any option for register accounts...

How would invest 100k dollars in stocks or etf itc?

[@kmsnow6292]

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?

[@NatePolmateer]

Brandon, just saw you in a TD video today from when you had 75k subs. Always appreciate the time you take. Another great video!

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?

[@Incantato]

Yeah but how much you need to deposit in order to have a decent yearly passive income? I guess about at least 500k$ to have 30k$/40k$ per year

[@valveman12]

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.

[@joelaneve8664]

Great Video! Very simple to understand. Can you purchase these ETF'S in TFSA?

[@matthews95_]

What’s the diff between buying VDY vs the actual stable? company

[@mrmountainhiker9646]

It can cost quite a lot if you were going to buy all 40 of those companies individually...most trading platforms will charge you a trading fee for each security you buy so it can add up. Buying an ETF such as VDY, you're getting all these 40 securities with just ONE purchase.
