That established, let’s now take a look at a company that pays a high dividend yield and offers an additional return via stock price appreciation. I’m talking about Two Harbors Investment Corp (NYSE:TWO). Two Harbors finances and manages residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), mortgage servicing rights, and commercial real estate assets. Investors are biased towards agency RMBSs, which are investments backed by the government, since they offer lower risk. Two Harbors is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which comes with benefits such as tax breaks. In return, 75% of the company’s capital must be invested in real-estate-related assets, and 90% of its cash flow must be put toward the dividend. This high allocation helps keep management in line, controlling spending.
