I love dividend stocks, but they’ve always had one big problem: you only get paid every three months. That creates a headache for those of us who rely on our portfolio income to pay the bills. Sure, we can sync quarterly distributions to pay the bills, but it’s not really convenient. Thankfully, we have options. Over the past few years, a growing number of companies have started paying dividends monthly. In the traditional world of Wall Street, the shift presents a big change from the typical quarterly schedule. Here are five top names to get you started...
Realty Income Corp (NYSE:O) and Apple Hospitality REIT Inc (NYSE:APLE) are some of my favorite names in this group. Realty Income Corp’s portfolio consists mostly of retail developments. Apple Hospitality has stuck mostly to hotels and vacation properties. I have long admired the management team at Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE:MAIN). The firm has structured itself as a business development company (BDC) that lends money to small, fast-growing businesses for interest and an equity stake. AGNC Investment Corp (NASDAQ:AGNC) works like a “virtual bank.” You can think of San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT) simply as a stake in a number of oil and gas wells.
