Q: hi 5i!
and happy holidays to everyone on this platform!
I am considering adding a US dividend ETF with $CDN hedge. can you give me your top picks based on 1) past performance ( long term but up to 20 years at most ) 2) "guess-timate" of future performance including fees ( and your reasoning ) 3) Net $$ assets 4) daily trading volume 5) dividend yield and 6) dividend growth.
take as many points from me as you need.
all the best
Chris

5i Research Answer:

Based on the criteria, we would focus on XHD and VGH.

XHD assets $187M, fees 0.33%, one year +13.24%, 5 years +4.58%. Estimated return 9% (dividends and equity exposure). Indicated yield 3.01%. 5-year dividend growth 6.39%. Volume about 12,000 units daily. 

VGH assets $765M, fees 0.30%, one year +17.34%, 5-year 9.86%, estimate 11% (equity exposure but focusing on dividend growth stocks should result in continued better returns), indicated yield 1.30%, dividend growth 5-years 8.42%, volume about 40,000 units.
