As an investor who is mostly engaged with the debt markets, I'm holding many fixed-income instruments. Yet, one of the main segment I'm looking at within the equity markets is high dividend stocks; companies where I see value and potential growth on one hand and a nice, ongoing return on the other hand. From a risk/reward perspective, this ensures that even if I'm wrong about the value-growth story and even if the equity markets don't follow through, I hold very attractive stocks that pay out very handsomely.
Looking at my "dividend portfolio", there are more than a handful names inside, but since I wish to be focused and to bring the "crèmede la crème", I would stick to (only) five names, plus one extra, very controversial, name that I'm looking to add real soon: Ares Capital (NASDAQ:ARCC), Gladstone Investment (NASDAQ:GAIN), Main Street Capital (NYSE:MAIN), Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:STWD), Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE:ARI) and Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC).
