Q: My grandchild is turning 20 in the fall and entering the work force, has no knowledge on investing. We are going to get him to start a Tax Free Savings Account with $2,00.00 original investment then encourage him to add $50.00- $100.00/ month there after. Untill he becomes more interested in learning more about investing we are thinking of starting with a dividend paying ETF or fund, any suggestions on a few ETF's or funds
5i Research Answer:
For dividend-focused ETFs, we like CDZ, VIG, and VDY.
CDZ has a distribution yield of 4.2%, 91 holdings, and an MER of 0.66%.
VIG has a distribution yield of 1.8%, 339 holdings, and an MER of 0.06%.
VDY has a distribution yield of 4.6%, 56 holdings, and an MER of 0.22%.
