Billionaire Ken Fisher's Highest-Paying Dividend Stocks

Ken Fisher manages Fisher Asset Management, a multibillion-dollar fund. Savvy investors like Fisher know that dividends are a great way to obtain healthy doses of income, which are critically important and tough to find in today's low-interest-rate environment. Here are a few of his favorite dividend-paying stocks, each shelling out a 3%-plus yield.

HSBC Holdings (NYSE: HBC) - Fisher's top dividend-paying stock, HSBC Holdings, currently rewards shareholders with a 3.6% dividend yield. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) - Microsoft currently pays shareholders a 3.2% yield. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) - The drugmaker pays shareholders a 3.1% dividend yield. These days investors salivate over 3%-plus dividend-yielding stocks. Yet HSBC and Pfizer have actually shrunk their respective dividends during the past five years. This proves investors need to do their homework before buying high-paying dividend stocks.
