Safe Dividends

Hard working people like to invest their retirement funds into stocks with low volatility and nearly safe dividends in order to secure their wealth. Those stocks have mostly a solid and low cyclic business model. 

A ratio that measures the volatility is the beta ratio. Stocks with a low beta ratio fall or rise lower than the market. They are less risky. 

There are no really safe dividend stocks. All stocks are volatile and the risk for a dividend cut is truely available. As equity investor, the full amount of your money changes with the value of your assets. They could fall or rise.

I made a list of the best yielding dividend income stocks with a beta ratio below one. In addition the market capitalization is over USD 10 billion and the debt-to-equity ratio under one. Below are the results, monthy updated.
