In volatile markets, companies that provide sustainable dividends stand out as key assets for investors, not only offering steady income but also bolstering long-term capital appreciation. In my latest article, I present ten high-dividend-yield companies, each selected for their sustainable dividends, competitive advantages, and appealing valuation. These picks are strategically chosen to raise your portfolio’s Weighted Average Dividend Yield while managing risk and volatility.

From Ares Capital (ARCC), with a yield exceeding 9%, to blue-chip financials like HSBC and BNP Paribas, each company contributes a unique advantage. This selection provides sector and geographical diversification, with limits on individual allocations to help balance income and growth, thus reducing overall portfolio risk. Through careful screening of metrics like P/E ratios and market cap, I’ve crafted a list that supports dividend stability and potential growth.

Explore the complete breakdown of these October picks and learn how a balanced mix of high-yield companies can transform your portfolio into a reliable income generator. Read more on Seeking Alpha.
