| BUY | 6.760 | John De Goey | Likes it but doesn’t use a lot of dividend paying ETFs. You are not going to get high yields. | 2010-02-19 | |
| Comment | 6.790 | Som Seif | Canadian balanced financial ETF with banks, bonds and preferreds. Very high income that comes from the underlying portfolio as well as return of capital. | 2009-10-05 | |
| BUY | 6.520 | Som Seif | Balanced ETF that includes banks and all the financials as well as preferreds and corporate bonds. | 2009-06-26 | |
| Comment | 5.610 | Jeff Black | Any of the ETF providers have excellent websites to get insight to underlying portfolios. You get insights into whether there will be decreases to the dividends. Look at the payout ratio of each holding. | 2009-04-30 | |
| HOLD | 5.360 | Richard Croft | Designed to generate income so there is a heavier weighting to the major banks that have a higher dividend. If you are looking for income and retired in your comfortable with the banks he would stay with this one. | 2009-02-05 | |
| BUY | 5.650 | Don Vialoux | Basket of 10 of Canada's biggest financial service stocks.Excellent way of playing them. Also allows a DRIP program. Volume on a day-to-day basis is relatively low though. | 2009-01-30 | |
| Comment | 5.370 | Som Seif | Balanced portfolio of equities, preferreds and fixed incomes. With the markets coming down, it has produced a yield of 12.5%, which is a little more than he would like. Possibility of a distribution cut. | 2008-12-12 | |
| BUY | 8.090 | Som Seif | Focuses on the broad Canadian financial services industry. Balanced approach with shares, preferred shares, bonds and income trusts. Pays out a monthly income. High yield right now. Reduces risks. | 2008-09-22 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.960 | Richard Croft | (A Top Pick July 11/07. Down 19%.) Wanted a product that just delivered a consistent stream of income in a market that he thought was going to be range bound. Financials could rebound, but it could be a while. | 2008-07-02 | |
| BUY | 8.000 | Som Seif | Balanced portfolio of financials. Has equities, preferred shares and bonds of mainly banks and life insurers. Good ETF for broad balanced exposure. For a more targeted approach to banks he would suggest Claym Eq. Banc & Lifeco E.T.F. (CEW-T), which gives you exposure to the 6 large banks and the 4 lifecos on an equal weighted basis. (His company issues both ETF’s.) | 2008-06-30 | |
| Comment | 8.350 | Som Seif | A balanced portfolio focused on fixed income and equities across the balance sheets of the financial services companies, the banks, looking at their equities, their preferred shares, their bonds, etc. The key issue is to pick a monthly income off it. Not looking to increase distributions. | 2008-04-01 | |
| TOP PICK | 10.570 | Richard Croft | Pays about 4% dividend. You get the benefit of a group of stocks that has typically increased their dividends on a fairly regular basis. | 2007-07-11 |
