Safe High-Dividend Stocks Do Exist -- Here Are 4 of Them

Dividends and safety are an excellent combination for long-term investors, and safe stocks with high dividends are the best kind of all. Unfortunately, many high-paying stocks are volatile and risky -- the exact opposite of what long-term investors want. To help you sort through all of your options, four of our contributors would like to tell you about high-paying dividend stocks that will let you sleep soundly at night.

For healthcare-based real estate investment trust HCP (NYSE:HCP) there is no problem. This looks to be a perfectly safe dividend that you can trust over the long term. GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) is in the midst of a major transformation as the drugmaker pivots to its next-generation of respiratory drugs like Anoro and Breo Ellipta, and it places a heavier emphasis of vaccines to drive top-line growth heading into the latter half of the decade. Recently yielding 5.6%, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE:BIP) owns long-lasting properties that deliver essential products and services worldwide. With a dividend yield of 5.5%, Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE:DOC) is a high-paying stock that I feel is a safe investment for the next several decades.
