Q: My wife and I are 80 years old and we live off the dividends from our RRIF's which are totally invested in stocks as well as the CPP.
Looking ahead my wife who has not been involved in the stock market would have a difficult time managing on her own. With this in mind I am contemplating going from stocks for some or all and switching to ETF's covering the different market segments making a passive portfolio that would require little maintenance . Appreciate your thoughts on this strategy and what would be your favourite ETF's by market segment. Looking for approx 4% or higher dividend with little or moderate growth.
