One of the best ways to build wealth and protect your portfolio is with dividend stocks -- especially those with yields above 10%.
Look at AGNC Investment Corp., for example.
With a yield of 13.85%, AGNC Investment (SYM: AGNC) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in residential mortgage-backed securities, where principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the U.S. government or a U.S. government agency.
It just declared a 12-cent dividend, which is payable on January 12, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025.
Or, look at Ellington Financial.
With a yield of about 11.36%, Ellington Financial (SYM: EFC) invests in residential and commercial mortgage loans, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, consumer loans and asset-backed securities backed by consumer loans, collateralized loan obligations, non-mortgage and mortgage-related derivatives, debt and equity investments in loan origination companies.
It just declared a monthly dividend of 13 cents per share, which is payable on January 31, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 4, 2025.
Innovative Industrial Properties
With a yield of 14.42%, Innovative Industrial Properties (SYM: IIPR) focuses on the acquisition, and management of state-licensed cannabis operators. It owns 108 properties across 19 states with 8.9 million rentable square feet. It recently paid a quarterly dividend of $1.90 per common share on October 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2025.
With big exposure to cannabis, it could get a boost from President Trump, who recently said he might reclassify cannabis as having a lower danger level. “We’re looking at reclassification,” Trump told CNBC. “We’ll make a determination ... over the next few weeks.”
If he does reclassify cannabis as a Schedule 3 drug from Schedule 1, it would allow for more research into the drug, and provide more tax benefits to the cannabis industry – boosting related stocks like Innovative Industrial Properties.
