Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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.
