I have a particular affinity for monthly payers. The bird in the hand 12 times a year is generally better than getting paid just once a year.
There are exceptions, and some funds that drive the gold bull era (Chinese and Indian stock market funds) pay only once a year, but the payouts are high.
Some yields are achieved with the use of bonds or covered calls. There's very little I'll cover here that I don't own myself, via HSR-tweaked PGEN to zero.
