My name is Brett Owens and I’m an unabashed dividend investor. Ever since my days at Cornell University and all through my years as a startup founder in Silicon Valley, I’ve hunted down safe, stable, meaningful yields.

Fortunately for you and me, the financial markets aren’t 100% efficient. And some corners are even less mature and less combed through than others.

These corners provide us contrarians with stable income opportunities that are both safe and lucrative.

There are anomalies in high yield. In an efficient market, you wouldn’t expect funds that pay big dividends today to also put up solid price gains, too.

We’re taught that it’s an either/or relationship between yield and upside – we can either collect dividends today or enjoy upside tomorrow, but not both.

But that’s simply not true in real life. Otherwise, why would these monthly payers put up serious annualized returns in the last 10 years while boasting outsized dividend yields?

For example, take a look at these 5 incredible funds that pay monthly and soar:

This is the key to a true “8% Monthly Payer Portfolio” – banking enough yields to live on while steadily growing your capital. It’s literally the difference between dying broke and never running out of money!

But I’m not suggesting you run out and buy these funds.

Some have been on my watchlist and in our premium portfolios over the years, but I mention them only as examples of the potential ahead.
