You’ll Learn
- To build our contestants team, we’ve selected dividend stocks with a yield over 5% (or close to) that showed dividend increases in the past.
- Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) is a US REIT showing a yield of 7.75%. Will Vero be able to beat it with Medical Properties Trust (MPW) and its 8.10% yield?
- Allied Properties (AP.UN.TO) is attractive with its 5.65% yield and monthly distributions. Will Canadian NET REIT surpass it with its high-quality tenants, and its mix of yield and growth?
- Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (AY) can surf the green energy tailwind with 77% coming from renewables. However, it is a PLC based in UK so it comes with additional tax due diligence. Can Algonquin Power (AQN) compete with its 1M customers and its growth by acquisition strategy?
- Great-West Lifeco (GWO.TO) is among the top 3 insurance companies in Canada and shows a yield of 6.30%. Is it worth picking an insurance company over a Canadian bank like National Bank (NA.TO) in the financial sector?
- We end the episode with a note on safety and how can investors ensure their high-yielding stocks are safe?

Hi Mike
Great podcast on the Canoe fund. It was recommended on a passive investing CDN investing channel…. After almost one year and see no real capital appreciation and a stagnant dividend…I decided to sell.
Keep up the great work
