Bruce Berkowitz is founder and managing member at Faiholme Fund. He is also a value investor who favors investing in concentrated portfolios, holding a relatively small number of companies. Over a period of 10 years, the fund has generated an average annual return of 19.6% and the total worth of his flagship amounted to $9.8 billion. However, I believe in dividends and screened his latest Q3 portfolio by stocks with the highest dividend. He has only seven stocks with positive dividends of which one yielding above five% (high yield). Here are the results sorted by dividend yield:
