Income seekers don't just want any old dividend stock. They want companies that are going to give them the most bang for their buck. They want high-yield dividend stocks, or companies that are paying out 4% or more on an annual basis. High-yield dividend stocks are coveted not only for their superior current returns compared to interest-based assets, but also for the ability to potentially compound gains over time by reinvesting your payout into more shares of stock.
Among high-yield dividend stocks there is a special class of companies that reward their shareholders on a monthly basis as opposed to once a quarter. Including ETFs and bond funds, there were 127 high-yielding assets investors could buy with a market valuation of at least $300 million, a yield of 4%+, and a monthly dividend as of July 1. Here are three that I happen to fancy. American Capital Agency (NASDAQ:AGNC), primarily an agency mREIT, is looking to benefit from weak U.S. GDP and jobs growth and Brexit fears by feasting on continued low interest rates. EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR), a diversified REIT that primarily invests in real estate assets in the entertainment, recreation, and education industries. LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC), which invests in skilled nursing facilities and assisted living properties around the United States.
