Top 5 High Dividend Companies To Own In Right Now

Many investors look to the so-called BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) for emerging growth opportunities. However, these investors may be overlooking one emerging powerhouse in Southeast Asia.

Overall, as an investor, I particularly like emerging-market dividend stocks for 2013. Companies in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index have increased dividend payments steadily for the past 10 years. Unlike earnings, dividend payments have been far steadier, with payout ratios mostly in the 30% to 40% range.

Additionally, as many of these companies mature, the potential to increase dividend payouts is high -- companies in emerging markets often have lower debt levels than firms in developed markets. The number of emerging stocks with high dividend yields in the MSCI World Index has increased from 60 in 1995 to more than 300 last year.
