Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program.

Financial dividend stocks with best yields and high growth rates originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com“. The financial sector is one of the biggest sectors where you can find stocks or asset vehicles to place your money. Roughly 2,800 stocks and funds are listed with a financial relationship. Only 724 of them are dividend stocks.

I personally do not invest into funds. I also put no money into ETFs because my major job is stock research and asset allocation for my own money. I like to eliminate the good stocks from the bad ones. Funds and ETFs put all stocks into a basket. They diversify money by covering indices they have bought from other financial service providers. I don’t know how they select these assets and I will never trust them. It’s my money and I am responsible the return in the end.

Today, I like to go forward with my monthly dividend screen of the best yielding growth stocks for the mid-term. Linked is a small list of the 20 best yielding financial stocks with double-digit earnings growth forecast for the next five years. Because of the high number of results, I decided to exclude all stocks with a market capitalization below USD 10 billion. Ten of the results have a buy or better recommendation.

Here are my favorite stocks:
