Interest rates remain very low and given the ongoing economic impact from COVID-19, they will likely stay very low. This low-rate environment places income investors in a difficult position. Add in the S&P 500 rising nearly 100% over the last five years, and finding high-yielding securities has become much more difficult. With low interest rates, investors looking for income are somewhat limited in their investment choices. Higher security prices haven’t helped either as the average yield on the S&P 500 is well below 2%.
Fortunately, there are plenty of high-dividend stocks offering yields of at least 5% that these investors can turn to for high levels of investment income. Three that look particularly appealing right now are: PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL), Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) and P. Carey (NYSE:WPC).
