While most dividend stocks pay out on a quarterly basis, some stocks pay out on a monthly basis instead. One of these is Prospect Capital, a business development corporation (BDC) that lends to and sometimes makes equity investments in mid-tier private companies -- the types that are generally too small to raise money in the public market but that require more capital than a local bank can provide. Because of the tax structure for BDCs, they pay out a large portion of their earnings in dividends. Prospect Capital has a diverse portfolio with 129 investments in 40 different industries, ranging from software to textiles and even aerospace.
