After a couple of bad months in February and March, the Dividend Hunter recommended portfolio has performed exceptionally well. As I write this, the Stable Dividends category has a total return of almost 20% for the year, and the Variable Dividends category is up 12%. One company I (still) like is Rithm Capital (RITM), spells out Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.

We all know of Prudential Financial (PRU) and the use of the Rock of Gibraltar to symbolize the company’s steadfast support for customer financials. But there is a lot more to like about this diversified financial services firm, notes Tim Plaehn, editor of Monthly Dividend Multiplier.

The Dividend Hunter recommended portfolio includes a range of different types of securities. Business Development Companies (BDCs) are one of them, and Owl Rock Capital Corp (ORCC) is one of my favorites, explains Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.

I have four Business Development Companies (BDCs) on the list of Dividend Hunter recommended stocks. The Fed’s interest rate hikes have proven to be a huge benefit for BDCs. These companies lend using adjustable-rate loans and carry low debt loads of their own. Hercules Capital (HTGC) will continue to be an excellent income investment, writes Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.
