Below I am sharing five high yielding securities which offer monthly
distributions or dividends.

In brief:
Royalty trusts offer high yields and monthly income, but sometimes
its price is high and securities are specific oil field. These trusts prove a
better investment field if you believe the stability of oil price, even it is happening
in the case of natural gas prices. In
the end, investors should beware and careful while assessing high yielding
monthly distributions and dividends
in this sector. These securities are fluctuating in the prices therefore
investor should have patience and risk holding capacity.
