A lot of people talk about “income stocks” and “growth stocks” as if they were two different things … but they don’t necessarily have to be. When putting together a portfolio of dividend stocks that can pay off for the long haul, my biggest priority is to find both high income and the potential for significant capital gains. That’s the best recipe for success in terms of maximizing your total return for years to come.
Small-caps tend to be better-known as growth plays, but a number of them also offer hefty dividends as well. The trick is to make sure that the company has strong enough fundamentals to support that high yield — and several of my favorite dividend stocks fit that bill exactly. One small-cap dividend stock that is a great buy at current levels is Memorial Production Partners LP (MEMP). When you’re in it for the longer term, as I am, you don’t want to see that kind of volatility. So instead of an Annaly Mortgage (NLY), which has a lot of fast money running in and out, I’d recommend a more under-the-radar name like New York Mortgage Trust (NYMT). This hunt for floating-rate debt leads me to my final small-cap dividend stock pick today: PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (PFLT).
