My ETF Dividends Payout

iShares Canada has finally published the quarterly dividends payout for their ETFs. I currently hold the following ETFs in my portfolio: XRE, XBB, XIU, XIN, and XSP. The dividends payouts are:

XRE: $0.22096 per share
XBB: $0.33506 per share
XIU: $0.49049 per share
XIN: $0.35008 per share
XSP: $0.12630 per share

Based on my average cost of each ETF and the percentage of each one in my portfolio, the current yield of my portfolio for this quarter is around 1.07%. If this rate is sustainable through out the year, my overall yield for this year will be around 4%. Not bad at all.

I have been thinking about adding XTR to my portfolio due to its high dividends payout ratio and VWO to diversify myself into BRIC. However, I still need to do more research on both.
