Here's What's New In The World Of Investing...

The Daily Dividend 11/14/25

November 14, 2025

Special dividends, precious metals, and insurance companies.

That’s what’s covered in today’s dispatch.

Two of these firms are raising their payouts by 10% or more. And the third business is declaring a special distribution that could put extra cash in your pocket.

As always, the biggest raise gets top billing…

Pan American Silver Corp. ($PAAS) Raises Dividend By 16.7%

Pan American Silver Corp. is a leading producer of silver and gold in the Americas. The firm operates mines in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.

Interestingly, this stock is a market-beater that’s outperformed the S&P 500 over the past decade. During this timeframe, Pan American Silver has delivered an average annual total return of 20.29%.

Yesterday, Pan American Silver announced its latest dividend raise, a 16.7% increase.

Pan American Silver Corp. will now pay a $0.14/share quarterly dividend.

  • Ex-dividend date: 11/24/25

  • Payout date: 12/5/25

  • Forward starting dividend yield: 1.46%

Assurant, Inc. ($AIZ) Raises Dividend By 10%

“Protection Company” sounds a lot like “Protection Racket,” the old euphemism for mobsters shaking down shopkeepers and bar owners.

Perhaps this unfortunate branding choice is what keeps Assurant, Inc. off most investors’ radar. Assurant is the “premier global protection company,” a creative way of saying they sell insurance.

But what makes Assurant stand out from the competition is the range of niche policies the firm is willing to underwrite.

Assurant offers insurance plans and service contracts for cell phones and mobile devices, flood insurance for property managers, and end-to-end coverage for commercial equipment like tractors and trucks.

Yesterday, Assurant announced a 10% dividend raise.

Assurant, Inc. will now pay an $0.88/share quarterly dividend.

  • Ex-dividend date: 12/1/25

  • Payout date: 12/29/25

  • Forward starting dividend yield: 1.55%

Main Street Capital Corporation ($MAIN) Declares $0.30/Share Special Dividend

Most monthly dividend stocks are terrible.

Main Street Capital Corporation is the rare exception.

This is a company that pays monthly dividends as well as special quarterly distributions. As a result, investors receive 16 dividend payments per year.

Additionally, Main Street Capital has a 10-year average annual total return of 15.10%.

Main Street Capital is a business development company that loans money to “lower middle market companies” such as SI East, the third-largest producer of new steel drums in the United States, and Phantom Fireworks.

Recently, Main Street Capital Corporation announced a special, quarterly distribution.

In addition to its monthly dividend, Main Street Capital Corporation will now pay a supplemental cash dividend of $0.30/share in December.

  • Ex-dividend date: 12/22/25

  • Payout date: 12/29/25

  • Forward starting dividend yield: 5.46%

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.

  • 23 exits to date

  • $1,245,000,000+ invested

  • Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%

My subscribers can SKIP their waitlist and invest in blue-chip art.
