Q: Hi, I’m retired 70 year old , looking at more conservative alternatives to stocks for a portion of my portfolio (30-40%). Could you give your opinion on TIPS I believe it’s US , but I see a Canadian version ZTIP. Interesting that it is inflation protection? Your thoughts and best one to buy. ( like to keep taxes simple).
Also could you give me your favourite dividend aristocrat etf. And do you consider this etf more conservative than a regular dividend etf.
Thanks for your help over the years, Merry Christmas

Q: A follow up question on portfolio construction. I’ve decided to try and get more dividends while I wait for capital appreciation inside my TFSA.

So the portfolio will be 20% International holding FLVI and VIU. 45% Canadian and will hold XDIV and CDZ. The 55% US will hold SPYD, VYM, HVD and all 11 sectors through Vanguard or ishares.

I’m looking to collect some dividends while I wait for capital gains and realize I will not get full dividends on the US ETFs. What are your thoughts on this set up, is there anything to improve either with diversification or higher dividends? Appreciate your service.
