PREFERRED STOCKS Preferred stocks trade the same as common stocks, but they are more like bonds than common stocks. Investors buy them mostly for the steady 4% to 8% dividends, although, depending on market conditions, mid-single digit annual appreciation is also possible. • Preferred Stocks Primer Basics • Call Prices • Yield to Call • Risks• Tax Issues • How to Value Preferreds • Preferred Stock Glossary

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITS) REITs are a special form of corporation that enables individual investors to participate in large-scale, income-producing real estate investments. REITS don't pay federal income taxes as long as they pay out at least 90% of earnings to shareholders. Due to that requirement, most REITs pay high dividends (5% to 8% yields). • About REITs What You Need to Know Before You Start • REIT Directory Retail • Healthcare • Lodging • Industrial • Office Mixed Industrial/Office • Mortgage/Finance • Residential Digital Infrastructure • Specialty • Diversified • REIT Graveyard

CLOSED-END FUNDS (CEFs) Closed-end funds typically outperform mutual funds and ETFs in the same category. • About Closed-End Funds What you need to know before investing. • 100 Best Closed-End Funds Best performing CEFs based on 3-year returns.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES (BDCs) BDCs lend money to mid-sized firms that are too small to “go public,” but too large to borrow from local banks. They don’t pay income taxes as long as they distribute at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders, hence BDCs are high-dividend payers.
