3 Fund Managers Pick Their Favorite Small-Cap Dividend Stocks

The menu of dividend-paying stocks is expanding thanks to the insatiable appetite of yield-hungry investors. Once largely the domain of the big banks and utilities, regular payouts are now being offered by more small to mid-sized players as interest rates remain at paltry levels. Many smaller-dividend stocks are more attractively priced now compared with some larger peers that have been bid up to “fairly lofty levels,” and have a greater risk of falling should interest rates rise, said Terry Thib, a portfolio manager at Hesperian Capital Management Ltd.

Because the smaller names tend to be under the radar, we asked the three fund managers for their top picks: Terry Thib, co-manager of Norrep Income Growth Class chose Badger Daylighting Inc., Michael Waring, manager of Galileo High Income Plus chose Canadian Energy Services & Technology Corp. and Michael Decter, manager of Redwood Diversified Income chose Twin Butte Energy Ltd..
