This is becoming progressively harder to come by if you invest solely in stocks. While we were in a bull market for quite some time, yields were steadily declining. In addition, companies in recent years have decreased the emphasis they had placed on steadily increasing dividends, opting instead to invest that money in ways that would boost the underlying stock price. Given their benefits, it's not surprising people are re-examining bonds. The securities markets are subject to the risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainty of rates of return and yields inherent in investing and past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Bonds offer a fixed rate of return if held to maturity.
