These two high-yield powerhouses offer retirees dependable income backed by investment-grade balance sheets. They offer current yields between 7-11.7%. We detail why they are attractive buys right now.
Alerian MLP ETF is the main player in the MLP field, known for its competitive yield, today above 8%. The uncorrelated nature of the yield with classic income sources makes MLPs an interesting portfolio candidate. The energy demand from AI and persistent inflation, in my opinion, still make the MLP sector attractive.
Cherry-picking individual MLPs has so far worked better for me than going long AMLP, which tracks a basket of midstream players. However, the recent pullback of AMLP has created an interesting opportunity to enter. Since the oil and natural gas markets have become more uncertain, capturing the diversification benefit of AMLP with ~8.3% yield sounds attractive.
Two high-yield investments offering 8%+ income with long-term stability. One pays monthly, and the other grows its payout at an inflation-beating clip year after year. Both combine low risk, strong management, and essential real assets.
My strategy focuses on high-income picks with stable cash flows to reduce stress, ensure stable investment progress, and mitigate capital impairment risk. While currently many investors are nervous due to the increasing market risks, thanks to my quality income-focused strategy, I can easily, without stress, remain committed to the wealth-accumulation process. In this article, I present two retirement income picks, which tick all of the necessary boxes for safely rolling the income snowball across various market regimes.
Mr. Market is currently offering some highly compelling bargains in the high-yield space. I share two opportunities yielding between 6-10% with strong dividend growth profiles. These opportunities issue 1099 tax forms, have investment-grade credit ratings, and are very defensive.

High-yielding stocks with sustainable cash flows and inflation-beating dividend growth potential are ideal for retirees. They are even more attractive if they have defensive business models. I share several 8%+ yields that all retirees should own, especially after their recent dips.
TMX VettaFi is rapidly establishing itself as a key index partner, leveraging a strategy of product expansion and strategic acquisitions.
Alerian MLP ETF offers exposure to US-based oil and gas infrastructure MLPs, providing an attractive 8.2% dividend yield. AMLP simplifies tax reporting for investors by issuing a 1099 instead of a K-1, though it carries a relatively high 0.85% expense ratio. The ETF is a strong portfolio diversifier for income investors, with a moderate 5-year dividend CAGR of 2.53% and a focus on high-yield sectors.
Alerian MLP ETF provides exposure to US midstream MLPs with a current attractive yield nearing 8.5%. AMLP offers diversification, tax simplification, and high distributions, making it appealing for income-focused investors seeking sector exposure. The ETF's main risks are sector concentration and its rebalancing mechanism, which can increase exposure to underperforming top holdings.
