The search for yield is increasingly difficult, with interest rates around the world now close to record lows. This could push investors toward Asian high dividend stocks.
I recently started looking more closely at Asian ADRs I know well. Many names have come up enough, or have increased their dividend payout enough, that they may now be attractive to US investors looking for yield.
These yields are, in most cases, a bit lower than what one would find in the US. However, I think they possess some advantages from which an investor looking for a high-yield portfolio of securities might benefit.
Investors should still remain selective in the Asian high dividend space, focusing on those with stable cash flow and a track record of sustainable dividends. Within traditional Asian high dividend sectors, I like Singapore and Hong Kong real estate investment trusts, and select telecom stocks.
Attached you will find a selection of the highest yielding, higher capitalized Asian dividend stocks, listed as a ADR.
Here are the results...
Stocks
with monthly dividend payments originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I know that you love it
to receive dividends and some of you want dividends on a monthly basis.
I
talked about this theme in the past and mentioned that it doesn’t matter how
often you will receive the dividend. The good thing is that you get smaller
amounts of money earlier that you can use for other investing activities. The
bad item is that the more often you get dividends the higher the costs for the
company because each transaction will produce costs at banks and service
providers.
However,
today I would like to introduce some of the 15 biggest companies with a
monthly dividend payment. Seven of them yielding over five percent and nine got
a buy or better rating from brokerage firms.
Most
of the monthly dividends paying stocks have a relation to the financial sector
e.g. REITs, Banks or asset management. The second biggest part of the list goes
to basic material stocks like gold or oil companies.
