This 9.1% Yield Looks Compelling

To earn bigger yields, you have to take bigger risks. Investors won’t find many big payouts among blue-chip dividend stocks. Income hunters need to scope out lesser-known niches, like real estate investment trusts (REITs) or business development corporations (BDCs). Master limited partnerships (MLPs) provide one of the last sources of high yields in today’s stock market. These firms typically own infrastructure assets like pipelines, terminals, and toll roads. And because they’re required by law to pay out most of their profits to shareholders, they crank out some of the highest yields around.

One of my favorites: GasLog Partners LP Unit (NYSE:GLOP). GasLog Partners stock sits at the upper end of the risk spectrum, as you’d expect from anything yielding 9.1%. This name, however, could make for a tidy income supplement for those who can handle the ups and downs. GasLog Partners owns ships that store and carry liquefied natural gas (LNG). These deals tend to get done through long-term contracts, which means analysts can project the partnership’s cash flow well into the future.
