Ellington Financial Corp, offering a 12.1% dividend yield and monthly payouts, attracts investors, but its high-risk profile and fluctuating dividends suggest that it may not be the best choice for everyone. While the company focuses on mortgage-related assets and has diversified its portfolio, its stock has declined over 25% in the past five years. Investors might consider alternatives like the Ascent Income Fund, which provides stable returns from private credit investments tied to real estate, offering a similar yield without the same market volatility.
