A roundup of investment ideas for active investors
A divide has opened up between the total return of dividend ETFs and it results from what’s in their respective portfolios, specifically exposure to hot sectors like energy and financials.
CDZ does have exposure to financials and energy - weightings of 24 and 14 per cent, respectively. But VDY has a lot more, with a whopping 57 per cent in financials and 24 per cent in energy. Another dividend fund that has done well off financials in particular is a stablemate of CDZ - the iShares Canadian Select Dividend Index ETF , with 56 per cent of its portfolio in banks, insurers and other financial players . The one-year return for XDV is 30 per cent.
