6 High-Yield REITs with Growing Dividends

April 17, 2013 | About:

U.S. REITs were created in 1960 by Congress as a way for all investors to have access to large-scale, income-producing real estate. To qualify as a REIT, the trust must comply with IRS rules. These rules include: 1) distributing annually as dividends at least 90% of its taxable income, 2) investing at least 75% of its total assets in real estate and 3) deriving at least 75% of gross income from real estate.

The 90% distribution requirement along with no corporate income taxes are two reasons REITs yields are often above average. However, it is important to note that because REITs pay no income tax, their dividends are not eligible for the special treatment as a "qualified dividends," which are normally taxed at 15%.

When comparing REIT yields to investments with qualified dividends, you must always look at them on an after-tax basis. REITs trade on major stock exchanges and have become immensely popular since their introduction.

This week, I screened my dividend growth stocks database for REITs with a yield at or above 4% and have increased their dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. The results are presented below:

National Health Investors (NYSE:NHI) is a real estate investment trust that invests in income-producing health care properties primarily in the long-term care industry.

Yield: 4.2% | Years of Dividend Growth: 12

National Retail Properties Inc. (NYSE:NNN) is an equity real estate investment trust that invests in high-quality, freestanding retail properties subject to long-term net leases with major retail tenants.

Yield: 4.3% | Years of Dividend Growth: 21

Universal Health Realty Income Trust (NYSE:UHT) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in healthcare and human service related facilities.

Yield: 4.3% | Years of Dividend Growth: 26

Urstadt Biddle Properties (NYSE:UBA) is a real estate investment trust that acquires, owns and manages commercial real estate properties primarily in the northeastern United States.

Yield: 4.6% | Years of Dividend Growth: 19

Senior Housing Properties Trust (NASDAQ:SNH), a real estate investment trust (REIT), primarily invests in senior housing properties.

Yield: 5.7% | Years of Dividend Growth: 11

Omega Healthcare Investors Inc. (NYSE:OHI) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in income-producing healthcare facilities, mainly long-term care facilities located in the United States.

Yield: 5.7% | Years of Dividend Growth: 11

As with past screens, the data presented above is in its raw form. Some of the the companies would be disqualified for poor dividend fundamentals. However some of the others may be worth additional due diligence.

My database, D4L-Data, is an Open Office spreadsheet containing more than 20 columns of information on the more than 220 companies that I track. The data is sortable and has built-in buttons and macros to make it easy to use. Companies included in the list are those that have had a history of dividend growth. The D4L-Data spreadsheet is a part of D4L-Premium Services and is updated each Saturday for subscribers.

Full Disclosure: Long NNN, UHT, in my Dividend Growth Portfolio, and long NHI, UBA, SNH, OHI in my High Yield Portfolio. See a list of all my dividend growth holdings here.

Egypt's Election Body Disqualifies Suleiman, Muslim Brotherhood Candidate From Presidential Race

According to an Egyptian official, the Mubarak-era intelligence officer and Muslim Brotherhood's Khairat al-Shater are among 10 nominees to be disqualified.

Egypt's election body disqualified 10 candidates from the presidential poll on Saturday evening, including former Intelligence Minister Omar Suleiman, the Muslim Brotherhood's Khairat al-Shater and Salafi Hazem Abu Ismail, an official said.

The candidates in Egypt's presidential vote have 48 hours to appeal.

AP-Former Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman is escorted by police after he submitted candidacy

According to reports in Egyptian media, Suleiman was disqualified because he lacks a few votes in his list of supporters. Al-Shater was ruled out because he has a criminal record, while Abu Ismail was disqualified because suspicions remain that his mother has American citizenship.

Earlier this week, a court in Cairo ruled that Abu Ismail would be able to run for president.

As long as the election council's decision remains unchanged, the key remaining presidential candidates will be Arab League head and Mubarak-era Foreign Minister Amr Moussa and head of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohamed Mursi. The Muslim Brotherhood had already decided that Mursi would be a replacement for al-Shater, should the latter be disqualified from the presidential race.

The other stand-out Islamist candidate is Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Al-Futuh, who served in the past as one of the leaders in the Muslim Brotherhood movement, but left the movement in order to run for president independently. He was distanced from the movement as a result of a decree – later reversed – that forbade members from registering in presidential elections. However, the Muslim Brotherhood later decided to cancel the decree and nominate its own candidate.

A lawyer for Abu Ismail attacked the decision by the body overseeing the election on Saturday, saying he expected a "major crisis."

"The man heading this committee has never been independent. This elimination was dictated to him and he is working under the guidance of the military council," Nizar Ghorab told Reuters, referring to the head of Egypt's election commission. "I expect a major crisis to happen in the next few hours," he said.

On Thursday, the Egyptian parliament passed a bill that forbids any senior officials of the Mubarak regime from running for presidential candidacy. Under the new law, all those who served as prime minister, vice-president or the head of a party under Mubarak in the 10 years preceding the revolution would not be allowed to run for president in the next ten years. As such, under the bill, Suleiman, who served for a short time as Mubarak's vice- president, and Ahmed Shafiq, who served in the past as prime minister, would not be eligible to run for president. However, former Foreign Minister Amr Moussa would be eligible.

The bill has not been approved by the ruling military council, who is yet to take a position on the matter.

Creator Owned Day

Today is officially Creator Owned Day, yet another indicator that creator-owned books seem to be currently looming large in the consciousness of the comics populace, both readers and creators. I'm delighted to embrace this fact, as this book is the first creator-owned property I've ever attempted, and I really hope/feel that it can be a big step in the right direction career-wise for me. As mentioned in previous posts, I was getting more and more frustrated at the lack of control/input in the work-for-hire realm, and working on my own story and characters has been a huge breath of fresh air. So viva la Creator Owned Day! Hopefully things like this will raise the profile of independent books in general and encourage more comics fans to stray a little from the beaten path and maybe give something else a try every now and again.

Here's the cover to the first issue with the logo included. The placement/colour scheme is still a little preliminary as I try different positions, but this is where it's at right now. I've completed the cover to the second issue too, so I'll stick a glimpse of that up here at some point soon.

Miniatur Wunderland

In the Hamburg Speicherstadt, there is much to discover in the largest model railway system in the world! Miniatur Wunderland "Miniature Wonderland" has been enriched with two attractions since recently: Elbe Philharmonic Hall and HafenCity have been opened in a festive ceremony!

The 930 trains with nearly 14,450 railway wagons, 228,000 trees, 215,000 figures, 8,850 cars, 13,000 metres of track, 3,660 buildings and bridges, were set up in minute detail by 230 employees in over 580,000 man-hours. In this superlative model landscape, you witness realistic railway operations entirely computer-controlled. There is even day and night in the railway world - and that's every 15 minutes. Miniatur Wunderland has been presenting HafenCity and Elbe Philharmonic Hall in a small format since recently. Look forward to the smallest concert hall in the world!

The Harz, with its seemingly endless ICE high-speed route and over 130 trains, is here along with landscapes from Austria and Scandinavia, and replicas of famous Hamburg districts and attractions from St. Michaelis Church and Hagenbeck Zoo to the world port.

The USA in Hamburg draws crowds with its desert metropolis and paradise for gamblers, Las Vegas: More than 10% of all Wunderland lights – around 33,000 – are installed here. The landscape of the other areas is breathtaking as well: The Keys and Cape Canaveral pass directly into Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon is only separated by a highway from Mount Rushmore and Yosemite Park.

Scandinavia was set up as the sixth section in 2005. Particularly impressive is the real water basin in which there are currently 16 ships that travel from miniature port to port.

The Switzerland section is the most impressive to date – it was opened in November 2007. Here the mountains stand with the 6-metre high Matterhorn as the centrepiece where visitors can hike and enjoy the view once they have reached the summit. There are many astounding highlights, such as the tiny chocolate factory which produces real chocolate, or the open-air concert with 21,000 tiny visitors.

And this is just the beginning! With constant work in the construction sites, the model world continues to grow from minute to minute. In May 2012, the exhibition was joined by yet another attraction: Knuffingen Airport was opened! The team of Gerrit and Frederik Braun (founders of Miniatur Wunderland) thus completed one of the most technically challenging projects of Miniatur Wunderland, offering visitors over 100 aeroplanes and other vehicles with fully automated movements.
By the provisional completion in 2020, there are still two further spectacular section to be completed in addition to Italy and France in mini format

The history of our civilisation

7,000 years of history have been reconstructed in as many hours of painstaking manual work with many details and numerous handmade figures and buildings. In eight dioramas, the story of our civilisation is portrayed from 5,500 B.C. to 1942. You will marvel at the Neolithic era, the middle ages and the time of the French Revolution, as well as the periods of the two world wars. To illustrate the appearance of these eras to visitors, an ideal and typical, fictionalised piece of land is created for each of them.

Festive opening of Elbe Philharmonic Hall

After 364 construction days, 350,000 euro construction costs and 13,000 work hours, Elbe Philharmonic Hall and HafenCity were opened in Miniatur Wunderland on 13 November 2013. Within the context of a festive event, the smallest concert hall in the world was christened with a real concert by the NDR symphony orchestra.

Since the opening of the original is experience some difficulties, the founders of Miniatur Wunderland decided that their own Elbe Philharmonic Hall had to be built. The way to that was long, because even the construction time of the small Elbe Philharmonic Hall doubled; it was originally supposed to be presented in the spring 2013. However, when you look at the finished work, you see that every work hour was worth it. "What our model builders created is simply phenomenal," raved Gerrit Braun, co-founder of Miniatur Wunderland.

The opening ceremony was even broadcast via live stream to all five continents, and 300 people took part on site in the sold-out affair.

Organic, Natural Explained

By Tom Branna, Editorial Director | December 30, 2013

Trying to get your product certified as natural or organic? Before wading through the process, Julia Hernandez of The DeWolf Companies (DeWolf Chemical, Glenn Corporation, Tempo Canada) explains how to go about it correctly.

Green is growing. Global organic personal care product sales reached $7.6 billion last year and are expected to grow nearly 10% a year to top $13 billion by 2018, according to sources.
Driven by consumers’ concern about their health and safety, as well as their lifestyle, the market has become polarized by specialty naturals, such as Dr. Bronner’s USDA Certified Organic Shikakai Lavender Body Soap, and mainstream naturals, such as Softsoap’s Juice and Pomegranate Mango Infusion, noted Julia Hernandez, VP-marketing, The DeWolf Companies.
At the same time, household cleaning product marketers have put greater emphasis on sustainability issues and environmental protection such as packaging reduction and the use of more environmentally-preferable ingredients like aloe vera extract and jojoba oil.
No wonder that an Organic Monitor study found that adoption rate of standards is accelerating with about 8% of natural and organic personal care products were certified in 2010, up from 4% in 2007.
But what certification program is the right one to choose? Hernandez noted there is a plethora of programs, which leaves consumers confused and marketers and their suppliers scratching their heads.
“Adding to the confusion, in consumers’ minds, organic and natural mean the same thing and shoppers don’t really distinguish between what’s out there,” noted Hernandez. “Consumers are confused. What is natural? What is organic?”
Even the focus varies by category. For example, while personal care tends to focus on ingredients, there is “a more environmental focus in home care, with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental protection,” said Hernandez.
Natural and organic certifications have similar objectives but different definitions of “natural ingredients” and different definitions of chemical and physical processes. Hernandez reviewed the key certification programs, too.
A Look at Certification Processes
Ecocert: Personal care standards—Requires a minimum of 95% natural origin as a baseline entry; a minimum 5% of certified organic ingredients for the “natural” standard; a minimum of 10% certified organic ingredients for the “natural” standard; a minimum of 10% certified organic ingredients for the “natural and organic” standard. Furthermore, up to 5% of ingredients can be synthetic; limited synthetic preservatives are allowed and water is seen as an ingredient itself.
Detergent standards—Ingredient list must show X% of the total ingredients are from natural origin; no minimum organic required for the “natural” standard; a minimum of 10% certified organic ingredients for the “natural made with organic level” standard; minimum 95% of ingredients from natural origin for the “natural made with organic level” standard; up to 5% of ingredients can be synthetic. Forbidden detergent ingredients include fragrances and colorants derived from petrochemicals (even if they are food safe); some cationic surfactants; phosphates and other phosphorous-based ingredients and ethoxylated surfactants (except if they are 100% natural in origin).
Cosmos (Cosmetic Organic Standards): Organic and natural. At least 95% of the physically processed agro-ingredients be organically produced for the organic certification; at least 20% of the total product must be organic; by exception, for rinse-off products, non-emulsified aqueous products and by-products with at least 80% minerals or ingredients of minerals origin, with at least 10% of the total product being organic; natural may contain natural/organic ingredients (with no organic minimum) but does not allow active marketing of organic content; limited synthetics are allowed in both organic and natural standards for some product types; excludes minerals in calculation of organic content.
NaTrue: Three types—natural, organic and organic with natural portion. 100% certified pure natural and derived natural (natural origin), plus some limited nature identical as a baseline; “organic cosmetics” guarantee at least 95% of the natural ingredients stem from controlled organic production; “natural with organic portion” guarantees at least 70% of the natural ingredients stem from organic production; excludes water and salt in calculation of natural and organic content. Furthermore, only physical processes may be used to obtain natural ingredients; Derived natural refers to ingredients that are found in nature, but chemically modified via a limited number of processes; Nature identical ingredients are 100% identical in composition to their counterparts in nature, but are created in a laboratory to ensure stability, safety and sustainability. Furthermore, nature identical may only be used when natural substances cannot be recovered from natural using reasonable technical efforts.
NaTrue limits physical processes including extraction and pH adjustment with listed extraction, purifying agents and pH adjusting agents. Enzymatic and microbiological methods are allowed as long as naturally occurring enzymes and microorganisms are used, and the conditions and processes resemble those occurring in nature; non-chlorine bleaching of natural substances is allowed; chemical reactions include hydrolysis, neutralization, condensation and esterification.
Natural Product Association: For personal and household products. The personal care standard requires a minimum of 95% natural ingredients, with the total use of allowed synthetic ingredients may not exceed 5.0% of the total formula; excludes water. For home care, products must be made with at least 95% all natural ingredients (not counting water) with the remainder of ingredients limited to “allowed synthetics” for the natural standard.
According to NPA, natural ingredients are those that come from or are made from a renewable resource found in nature (flora, fauna, mineral), with absolutely no petroleum compounds. A synthetic, non-natural ingredient can be used only when there is not a readily available natural alternative ingredient, and only when there are no suspected health risks. Prohibited ingredients include parabens, SLS, petrolatum/mineral oil/paraffin, chemical sunscreens (avobenzone/oxybenzone), glycols, phthalates, ethoxylated ingredients, ethanolamines (MEA, DEA, TEA), synthetic polymers, formaldehyde donors and synthetic fragrances.
US Department of Agriculture: Regulates the term “organic” as it applies to agricultural products through its National Organic Program (NOP). If a cosmetic, body care product or personal care product contains or is made up of agricultural ingredients, and can meet the USDA/NOP organic production, handling, processing and labeling standards, it may be eligible to be certified under the NOP regulations. Once certified, cosmetics and personal care products are eligible for the same organic labeling categories as all other agricultural products.
Types include 100% Organic, Organic and Made with Organic. “100% Organic” must contain only organically produced ingredients; “Organic” must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients; “Made with Organic Ingredients” must contain at least 70% organic ingredients.
Products with less than 70% organic ingredients cannot use the term “organic” anywhere on the principal display panel. They may identify the specific ingredients that are USDA-certified as being organically produced on the ingredients statement. They cannot display the USDA Organic Seal.
A limited amount of synthetics are allowed in the “organic” and “made with organic” standard. Water and salt are excluded in organic content calculations.
NSF/ANSI: The only US national standard for personal care products that make organic ingredient claims. It has applications for color cosmetics, and rinse-off and leave-on personal care products.
“Contains Organic” requires 70% organic ingredients to comply with the “Contains Organic” standard; limited amounts of synthetics are allowed and excludes water and salt in the calculation of organic content.
Hernandez noted that, unlike the NOP, NSF/ANSI 305 allows for some limited chemical processing necessary to create personal care products. Marketers who want to make other organic claims for their personal care products, including “100% Organic,” “Organic” and “Made with Organic,” would still be reviewed under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) and bear the appropriate organic label.
Design for the Environment (DfE): The US Environmental Protection Agency program provides criteria for safer chemical ingredients. The Functional Class Criteria tailors health and environmental endpoints for key distinguishing characteristics to the specific functional class, such as chelating and sequestering agents, fragrances, solvents and surfactants. But if there are no functional class criteria for an ingredient, it is evaluated against the Master Criteria that establishes thresholds for safer ingredients by defining the “low concern” end of the ingredient hazard spectrum, according to Hernandez.
Whole Foods: Under the retailer’s Organic Body Care certification, “organic” is required to contain at least 95% organic ingredients and be certified to the USDA National Organic Standards; “Made with Organic” must be certified to the USDA National Organic Standards and include at least 70% organic ingredients and “Contains Organic” must be at least 70% organic and certified to NSF/ANSI 305. No other use of the word “organic” is allowed on the packaging. The retailer added another tier, Premium Body Care, to its program. The moniker includes a list of 400 ingredients that are “unacceptable,” as well as a list of 2,500 ingredients that meet the standards. These ingredients must have higher concentrations of botanically-derived ingredients; ingredients must be as close to nature and as minimally processed as possible; have little environmental impact during manufacturing and when released into the environment; and pose little risk of contaminants, have established safety data and are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergies.
Confusing? Absolutely, but Hernandez noted there are a variety of resources available to formulators. For example, Glenn Corporation has printed Green Smart Cards, which provide at a glance, key information on all of the certifications detailed above, plus, provides snapshots of its product portfolio that provides INCIs, trade names, suppliers, source, certifications and other info.
“Glenn’s Green Smart Card is here to help,” concluded Hernandez. “It’s filled with baseline criteria and a list of our products that work with each certification.”

As far as I know Corsair never list any retailer on their site. Maybe you can send a e-mail to them asking where to buy if it's available. The worst will be a no ;)

The problem is that a sacrifice will need to be made somewhere. If you are looking for a light, small case, you'll either need to sacrifice quality, pay more for a stand alone PSU or avoid the 3.5" drive bay.

I got my extension cables from NCIX. You should avoid extensions and just re sleeve your psu cables if possible. extensions only give you a bunch more cable to manage and it can cause a bit of a headache if all of your cables are extended with extension.

Kit Harington Talks Dragons, Jon Snow's Heartbreak and the GoT Finale

From the editors or, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington on his role in How To Train Your Dragon 2 and the emotional conclusion to this week's episode.

Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Between shooting Game of Thrones, which is currently nearing the end of its fourth season, Kit Harington found time to get acquainted with another fire breather in How to Train Your Dragon 2, which hits theaters Friday. We met up with the 27-year-old actor at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to discuss why he's so drawn to fantastical narratives about mythical creatures. Plus, the actor gave ELLE the inside scoop on Sunday's tumultuous and emotional episode of Thrones.

Most Popular

Are you only allowed do projects that involve dragons?

Oh no, that's just where my career has taken me. And I'm quite happy to do it. This was completely different from anything I've ever done with dragons before. But yeah it's just me and dragons again. Although if you think about it I've never encountered an actual dragon in any fictional situations except this one.

What interested you in doing a voiceover role?

Without being flippant, why not? It's just such a wonderful medium to work in. Everyone I've met who's done it actor-wise has said how liberating and wonderful it is to do. I actually thought it might inform me on my acting in other places. It's quite theatrical and I haven't done theater in a while. Maybe I could go a bit bigger with my performance.

You started in theater, right?

I did. I trained in theater. And I started in theater with my first two jobs doing stage plays. Since then I've been living in the world of film and TV, which can be quite restrictive and boxed. And this is not boxed. This is very vocally free. It's nice to work vocally without a hundred different eyes on you like you do in film work. It's much more intimate. It's much smaller and more focused than film and TV.

This week's Game of Thrones episode was pretty insane. What was it like shooting that huge battle scene?

It was pretty incredible. We were filming it for about a month, on and off. It was a two-week intensive period, but the whole thing was about a month. For Thrones that's pretty unheard of. We all grew very close doing it. There were about ten of us there and that's very condensed for Thrones standards.

Was it difficult to shoot the scene where Ygritte dies in Jon Snow's arms?

That was very emotional. Me and Rose [Leslie] have worked together quite intensively for three years now. We always knew that was coming. We knew that was in the books. We just didn't know how it would happen. We got the scripts though and the dialogue was beautiful. The way it happened was perfect, in my opinion. The little boy who Jon has trained up and mentored kills her. He's seen her kill his family. So he knows he's doing the right thing. And he's saving my life. And yet it's a horrible triangle because Jon has to deal with the person he's trained killing the only person he's ever loved. And had Olly not shot the arrow, Jon would have done nothing. There's a moment where he smiles and it's a moment of satisfaction of seeing her. It's a beautiful scene.

Would she have killed Jon?

I don't think she would have shot that arrow.

Jon hadn't seen her all season until that moment, right?

No. The hard thing for me with this season – and I wrote to the writers about it early on—is that I wanted the audience to know he's been missing her. In the books he thinks about her constantly. It's there, written down, that he's thinking about Ygritte. In this he doesn't mention her once until the very beginning of this episode. The real challenge for me this season was showing the audience that he loves her without saying anything or talking about it. Which is kind of impossible, showing the audience the inner-workings of your head. So I had to find moments of that happening and I hope I did.

Can you tease the finale episode?

The battle ends at the end of episode nine. The beginning of ten carries on with the story. Jon is focused on being a leader. He's a much colder person after this. He loses a lot of whatever warmth he had, which, let's face it, wasn't a lot. There's a lot of lessons he's learned in this last episode about doing what you need to do to survive and surviving past losing your love is one of those things. At the beginning of episode ten you see a very broken man.

It's so sad.

It is sad. He's been going through heartbreak the entire season. Whether you've seen it or not, he's been going through it. It all ends the only way it could end and the way he probably knew it would end. He's not naïve. He knew there was the possibility of seeing her die or her seeing him die at the battle. You know that thing when you break up with someone and you're walking around the town where you both live and you're just really hoping to see them? You know that you're not supposed to see them, but there's nothing you want more.

What's next for you?

Next I'm doing Thrones season five. And then I don't know until next year, really. This is where I start looking for projects for next year. But I might take a break. I really might take a break.

So we know Jon Snow survives the finale episode if you're headed to shoot next season.

Yeah, I guess you do!

Editor's Letter

Welcome to the Issue

Everywhere I go, people tell me how much they love that we celebrate women from 18 to 80 — and beyond.

A chic woman is a true original, she's true to her style roots ... and she truly gets better with time. She is fabulous at every age.

This month, we speak to 25-year-old real estate heiress Ivanka Trump about the launch of her jewelry collection, as well as the thirtysomething stars of Darren Star's new series, Cashmere Mafia. Cate Blanchett, 38, helps us celebrate Giorgio Armani's timeless Hollywood legacy, and Sharon Stone shares her secrets to being a femme fatale at 49. Then 63-year-old Lauren Hutton reenacts scenes from the film Grey Gardens with our 21-year-old cover star, Mary-Kate Olsen.

Most Popular

Grey Gardens's Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Little Edie, are perhaps the late 20th century's unlikeliest fashion heroes, but these days you can't swing a cat without hitting a fashion moment that references their kooky eclecticism. That they were related to the eternally elegant Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis makes the irony all the more poignant.

Jackie, of course, was proof that a woman could be glamorous and gorgeous in every stage of life, but she was never more of an icon of blue-blooded American chic than when she was sailing. It was this kind of elegance that inspired Italian fashion magnate Diego Della Valle to bid on JFK's motor yacht, the Marlin, when Christie's put it up for auction. The other potential bidders were waylaid by a storm, and Della Valle became the proud owner of the boat.

A few years ago, I attended a friend's wedding to an Italian artist in Ravello, and the day before the wedding, Della Valle invited me to cruise the Amalfi Coast with the happy couple. With the Marlin's skipper, Roberto, at the helm, we docked at a secluded inlet and toasted Della Valle's hospitality at a sumptuous lunch under the lemon trees. Bazaar visits Della Valle's Capri home and learns why, for him, graciousness is a way of life.

Enjoy the issue.
