If you're new to investing, targeting some rock-solid dividend-paying stocks is a fantastic place to start. But with hundreds of dividend stocks out there, a great way to narrow down the field is to look for companies that have a strong sense of identity and purpose. These types of companies are often more disciplined with their strategy and better able to communicate that vision to shareholders -- which, ultimately, will help you better understand the businesses and feel more confident in your investment. Today, I have two of the best dividend-paying companies that fit this mold perfectly.
1. Realty Income (NYSE:O) - In operation for 46 years, everything the "Monthly Dividend Company" does, or will do, revolves around this clear identity, which the company has followed through on by increasing its dividend for 20 consecutive years. 2. ACE (NYSE:ACE) - Similar to Realty Income, this $33 billion insurer also has a tagline and has referred to itself as an "underwriting company." In reality, all insurance companies underwrite risk, but ACE's disciplined approach has turned it into an art form.
