I'm in the middle of restructuring our portfolio for retirement, and the tax treatment of dividends in Canada is appealing.
iShares has a Canadian ETF, CPD.TO which specializes in a preferred shares index. It looks ok, aside from a MER of 0.5% which seems high, but may be a reasonable price to pay for diversity.
I'm doing my homework on this, and I thought to ask "Does anyone have war stories to share about preferred shares investing via ETF?"
