iShares Canadian Select Dividend Index ETF ISDJF


Primary Symbol: T.XDV

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the Dow Jones Canada Select Dividend Index net of expenses. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will primarily invest in Canadian equity securities. The Index is a strategy index focused on dividend income. The Index is comprised of 30 of the highest yielding, dividend-paying companies in the Dow Jones Canada Total Market Index, as selected by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC using a rules-based methodology including an analysis of dividend growth, yield and average payout ratio. To achieve its investment objective the Fund uses an indexing strategy. Under this strategy, the Fund seeks to replicate the performance of the Index, net of expenses, by employing, directly or indirectly, through investment in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives, a replicating strategy or sampling strategy.

fees too high

fees too highI bought a lot of this during the financial crisis of 2008 and i'm now held hostage with my capital gains. I would sway this dog for XDIV in a heart beat if not for the capital gains tax.  Who in their right mind would put fresh money into this thing when the fees are 5 X higher than XDIV? Of course Blackrock is making a fortune so they have no incentive to cut the outrageous fees.
