10 High-Yield Small-Cap Dividend Stocks for 2017

There are dividend-paying small-cap stocks that offer above-average returns. This may come from the nature of their industry. For instance, real estate investment trusts (REITs) are required, by law, to distribute at least 90% of their income to unitholders every year. Master limited partnerships (MLPs) also face distribution requirements. Unlike REITs, the required amount for an MLP is set forth in the partnership agreement, but that amount can increase over time. Investing in small-cap stocks could also bring more upside potential, as smaller companies may have more room to grow.

Now, let’s take a look at the best small cap stocks to watch in 2017. The definition of “small-cap” here is having a market capitalization of between $300.0 million and $2.0 billion: CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (CBL) 10.30%, Government Properties Income Trust (GOV) 8.81%, Enviva Partners LP (EVA) 7.91%, World Point Terminals LP (WPT) 6.96%, Guess?, Inc. (GES) 6.93%, Sabra Health Care REIT Inc (SBRA) 6.64%, Greenhill & Co., Inc. (GHL) 6.02%, Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN) 5.97%, NRG Yield, Inc.
