As most dividend investors in financials have noticed by now, apart from real estate investment trusts (REITs), dividends from banks and insurers are pretty paltry. Fortunately, that’s about to change. Bank dividends are still suffering from the hangover from the financial crisis when they and their capital plans were put under strict federal scrutiny. Furthermore, bank profitability is getting squeezed by the Fed’s ultra-low interest rate policy.
Size and health are critical, which is why we scoured the S&P 500 for big banks and insurers paying sector-high dividends. No, these aren’t amazing yields, but they are solid and offer a great way to get ahead of the rate hike. Here are three of our favorite financials: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), MetLife, Inc. (MET) and Wells Fargo & Company (WFC).
