RISK WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS
The value of stocks and shares and any dividend income, may fall as well as rise, and is not guaranteed so you may get back less than you invested. You should not invest any money you can’t afford to lose and should not rely on any dividend income to meet your living expenses. Stocks listed on overseas exchanges may be subject to additional dealing and exchange rate charges, administrative costs, withholding taxes, different accounting and reporting standards, may have other tax implications, and may not provide the same, or any, regulatory protection. Exchange rate charges may adversely affect the value of shares in sterling terms, and you could lose money in sterling even if the stock rises in the currency of origin. Any performance statistics that do not adjust for exchange rate changes are likely to result in inaccurate real returns for sterling-based UK investors.

FTSE 100 stocks offer a dividend yield of around 7%, and the payout is covered at least 1.5 times by earnings per share.
What’s more, according to my analysis, based on these companies’ cash generation, I think they can afford to increase their dividends steadily in the years ahead. That could be great news for passive income seekers.
Bank of Georgia is another option that has both qualities of a high yield and high dividend cover. After reducing the distribution in 2019 and 2020 due to coronavirus, analysts are forecasting a resumption in 2021. They’re predicting a dividend yield of 5.5%.
