| BUY | 16.590 | John Hood | S&P/TSX Preferred ETF. Changing distributions from quarterly to monthly. 5.1% yield. Good for a conservative portfolio. | 2010-07-07 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 16.630 | Richard Croft | (A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 4% excluding dividends.) S&P/TSX Preferred ETF. Still not a bad investment. | 2010-06-14 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 16.120 | Richard Croft | (A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 1.1% excluding dividends.) S&P/TSX Preferred ETF. Gives you quarterly dividends. | 2010-04-23 | |
| BUY | 16.460 | Mike S. Newton, CIM FCSI | Likes it. Nice yield. 5.3% Yield. It’s hard to trade preferred shares. | 2009-10-27 | |
| BUY | 16.460 | Richard Croft | You should buy this for the yield and not for the price of the stock. There’s nothing wrong with the preferreds. | 2009-10-23 | |
| Comment | 16.600 | Som Seif | ETF that invests across Canadian preferred shares. Preferreds are attractive because of the tax efficiency of the dividend. Last year, spreads widened considerably so there was a big dip earlier this year but have now come back very nicely. Long-term, preferreds are fantastic for dividends but will not give you huge returns. Doesn't expect they will give you more than 5%-7% long-term. Wouldn't use in a registered account. | 2009-10-05 | |
| BUY | 16.730 | Mike S. Newton, CIM FCSI | Claymore S&P/TSX Preferred E.T.F. This is a basket of preferred shares. 5.3% yield. | 2009-08-11 | |
| TOP PICK | 15.970 | Richard Croft | S&P/TSX Preferred ETF. Likes preferred shares. Yield of 5.75%. If you are looking for an income component in your portfolio, preferred shares are still undervalued compared to 10-year corporate bonds. | 2009-07-09 | |
| BUY | 14.800 | Som Seif | Based on the S&P/TSX preferred share index. While diversified. A nice way to get liquid exposure. Yield is probably in the 5.5%-6% area. | 2009-01-07 | |
| Comment | 17.790 | Som Seif | With credit markets going away, corporate bonds and fixed income type products like preferreds, their price goes in the opposite direction because of credit worries. The swing has gone too far and he actually likes preferreds now. You can now get very good tax efficient yields. He expects the spreads to tighten in the next short while and preferreds will benefit from this. | 2008-05-02 | |
| Comment | 19.000 | Richard Croft | An index that represents a basket of preferred shares. You won't get the growth potential that you would with common shares. Similar to a bond but higher risk. Gives you a dividend tax credit. | 2007-08-24 | |
| BUY | 19.230 | Som Seif | Based on about 60 Canadian preferreds. MER of .045%. 50% to 60% are in perpetual preferred shares. Great long-term hold. | 2007-06-18 | |
| BUY | 19.680 | Pat McHugh | Has been dropping lately, mostly because of the BCE preferreds. Since March, 10-year Canada's are up about 40 basis points and 30-year are up about 25 or 30. Owning this one for income is fine. | 2007-05-28 | |
| BUY | 19.950 | Richard Croft | A basket of preferred shares. Income type of product. Yield is about 4.8. Slipped lately, as about 10% is BCE preferred shares. Very good product. Will act like a bond. Good entry point. | 2007-05-10 | |
| Comment | 19.970 | Richard Croft | ETF basket of preferred shares. Basically trades on interest rates with an average 4.5% dividend. You might consider iShares DJ (XDV-T) which have both preferred and common shares. | 2007-04-26 | |
| Comment | 19.990 | Don Vialoux | New ETF based on 60 higher quality preferred shares based in Canada. Dividends are fully eligible for dividend tax credit. | 2007-04-25 |
