Q: Hi gang, 66 year old dividend investor here. I own both FIE @ 6.57% of my portfolio and XEI @ 5.1%. The big difference I see is that FIE holds 18.99% Canadian preferred and 9.1% Cdn Corp bonds. FIE also has a much higher MER at .74% vice .22% for XEI. Both hold all the big banks. Both have dividends roughly the same and pay monthly. I'm up considerably with both.
I'm wondering if I should sell XEI and dump into FIE. Would it be worth it to save the .22% MER on XEI and not pay the MER on both. Or should I just carry on with both. Thanks for your thoughts, Bill.

Q: I am wanting to sell most of our equity exposure in spouse's RSP and my RRIF (a lot of equity exposure in TFSAs and cash accts). Looking at various fixed income/less risky options. Have perused your past income questions. For various reasons I like HUTL, ZWU and XEI for CAD, and ZMI.U for USD. Would prefer another one or two USD options. Could I get your assessment of the options I have indicated, and if you folks have other options (particularly for USD) I would welcome those. TIA.
