Q: Question about a safer monthly-dividend ETF for my TFSA

To whom it may concern,

Hi, it’s Mark again. I’m a 5i Research member and I have a question similar to ones I’ve asked in the past.

I currently hold a large position in Whitecap Resources for the monthly dividend, but I’m looking for something that is likely a bit safer. You have provided some ETF recommendations to me before, but when I look at the long-term charts (10–15 years), many of those dividend-paying ETFs are trading below where they were back then, which is a bit concerning.

Could you please suggest what you consider to be the safest ETF—either American or Canadian—that I could hold in my TFSA, which pays a monthly dividend roughly comparable to Whitecap?

Thank you very much for your help and your consideration.

Sincerely,
Mark
