Hedge Funds Are Buying These Dividend Stocks

Interested in high yield dividend stocks with institutional backing? With that in mind we ran a screen and then narrowed those results down to find the four stars with more profitability than industry average. We started our screen by looking for high yield dividend stocks (3-8%) with a market cap above $300M for stability. The companies listed are all witnessing institutional purchase representing at least 5% of their share float, which is bullish. Less experienced investors can find some comfort in this statistic because these funds are considered “smart money”.

If hedge fund and mutual fund managers are expecting these stocks to see gains in value in the future than there’s a good chance you can too. The four stocks below could be a good place to start if you are looking to beef up your portfolio with dividend income stocks: 1. BankUnited, Inc. (BKU), 2. Quality Systems Inc. (QSII), 3. National Retail Properties, Inc. (NNN) and 4. Costamare Inc. (CMRE).
