The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Sept. 6, edition that a Canadian dividend portfolio can help investors achieve a properly diversified investment strategy. The Globe's guest columnist Robert Gill writes that by selecting dividend-paying stocks from various sectors -- such as financials, utilities, telecommunications and consumer goods -- investors can spread their risk across different industries. In Canada, eligible dividends receive preferential tax treatment, resulting in potentially lower tax liabilities. If you agree with the merits of investing in a high-income, low volatility Canadian equity portfolio and would like to add more yield to your own investments while reducing volatility, Mr. Gill says a good place to start is by considering investments in three stocks that he currently owns: TC Energy (7.7-per-cent yield); BCE (6.9 per cent); and Toronto-Dominion Bank (5 per cent). Mr. Gill says these are all high-quality companies, with durable economic moats and impressive dividend yields. He says that by harnessing the stability of Canadian equities and the reliability of dividend-paying stocks, investors can build resilient and prosperous portfolios that stand the test of time.
