We track insider purchases because stocks bought by insiders tend to outperform market indices (see our analysis of studies on insider trading). While this is somewhat interesting on its own, the relationship becomes considerably stronger- though it still does not work in many cases- when considering stocks that multiple insiders, or a “consensus” are buying. Read more about consensus insider purchases. We looked through our database of insider trading filings to find some high yield stocks that insiders like, in case income investors think that insider purchases are an important enough signal to help them identify good stocks for further research.

Here are five stocks that at least five different insiders have been buying in the last three months which pay dividend yields of over 5% at current prices: Insiders have bought shares of Inland Real Estate Corporation (NYSE:IRC), Healthcare Trust Of America Inc (NYSE:HTA), New Mountain Finance Corporation (NYSE:NMFC), MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) and NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE:NS).
