The ASX share market is a wonderful place to find investments that can offer huge passive income. There are a few businesses that offer a dividend yield of more than 10%, which I think can be very compelling.

But there are only a few businesses I’d consider as contenders for buys, given that high dividend yields aren’t necessarily reliable for payouts – some may be in danger of giving investors a significant dividend reduction.

I think the below two ideas can provide investors with a very good dividend yield for the foreseeable future.

Hearts and Minds Investments Ltd (ASX: HM1)

This is a listed investment company (LIC) that has a number of fund managers and investment professionals who contribute investment picks for free. Some of the fund managers are core managers who provide continuing portfolio picks, while a minority of the portfolio is based on picks at an annual investment conference.

The portfolio is full of international shares, so Australian investors are getting diversification with this investment, while also getting an incredible dividend yield.

Hearts and Minds has indicated an intention to increase its half-yearly dividend by 0.5 cents per share. That means the business could pay an annual dividend per share of 20.5 cents in the next 12 months. At the time of writing, that translates into a grossed-up dividend yield of 9.8%, including franking credits.

Its portfolio has returned an average of 10.25% per annum since inception in November 2018 – that’s high enough to pay a good dividend.  

Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF)

Another ASX share that could be undervalued is this real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns office buildings across a number of markets, giving it diversification.

The business is certainly facing headwinds like work from home and a slowing economy, but it’s priced too cheaply in my opinion considering how much rental income it’s generating.

The ASX share expects to generate funds from operations (FFO) – net rental profit of 11.1 cents per security in FY26 and pay a distribution per security of 10.1 cents. That means it’s trading at just 8x its FY26’s rental profit with a FY26 distribution yield of 11.5%.

The fund manager of Centuria Office REIT, Belinda Cheung, explained the positive long-term outlook for the ASX share after its FY26 third-quarter update:               

Looking ahead, we maintain an optimistic outlook for the Australia metropolitan office markets across the medium term. Diminishing forecast supply has been further impacted by rising rates and inflation and is expected to amplify the significant disconnect between replacement costs and current valuations. The widening gap of economic rents to prevailing market rents not only prohibits feasible office development but provides ample room for current market rents to continue to grow and underpin future valuations, reinforcing the relative value of existing high-quality, well-located office assets.

With lots of ASX shares to choose from on the Australian market, it can be difficult to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you. 

Three top ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys this week are outlined below. Let’s see why they are bullish on them.

ARB Corporation Ltd (ASX: ARB)

According to a note out of Morgans, its analysts have upgraded this 4×4 accessories company’s shares to a buy rating with a $22.35 price target. Morgans made the move in response to positive new vehicle sales during the month of June. This could be good news for ARB because it has a history of outperforming the market with its aftermarket sales. And while it has trimmed its earnings estimates slightly for FY 2026, it has boosted its medium-term forecasts. This partly reflects easing supply constraints for Toyota vehicles. Combined with significant share price weakness this year, Morgans thinks now could be a good time to invest. The ARB share price last traded at $18.03.

Mesoblast Ltd (ASX: MSB)

A note out of Bell Potter reveals that its analysts have put a buy rating and $4.45 price target on this biotechnology company’s shares. This follows the release of a fourth-quarter update which revealed 20% quarter on quarter revenue growth. Bell Potter believes its full year performance represents an outstanding result considering its Ryoncil product was launched from a standing start in April 2025 and prior to broad reimbursement availability. The broker notes that commercial adoption has been exceptionally strong and has continued to grow as barriers to adoption have fallen away. Looking ahead, the broker expects Ryoncil’s strong growth to continue. Bell Potter is also optimistic on Mesoblast’s Rexlemestrocel-L product. The Mesoblast share price was fetching $2.35 at Monday’s close.

Sigma Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SIG)

Analysts at Macquarie have retained their outperform rating and $3.50 price target on this pharmacy chain operator’s shares. According to the note, the broker has been looking at the consumer sector and continues to rate Sigma Healthcare as a preferred pick. Macquarie is bullish on the company due to its attractive valuation and exposure to structural tailwinds that are supporting the pharmacy industry. The Sigma Healthcare share price last traded at $2.92.

I think ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be an easy way to invest in long-term growth themes.

But which funds could have strong long-term growth potential?

Three that could deliver on this are named below. Here’s what they offer investors:

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF could be a strong option for investors looking beyond traditional technology exposure.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an afterthought for businesses. It has become a boardroom, customer trust, regulatory, and business continuity issue.

Companies now rely on cloud platforms, remote workers, digital payments, online customer data, artificial intelligence tools, and connected devices. Each of these creates more points that need protecting.

This popular ASX ETF gives investors exposure to companies involved in areas such as identity security, endpoint protection, network defence, cloud security, and threat detection.

The growth case is straightforward. As more value moves online, more money is likely to be spent keeping it safe. This could bode well for holdings such as Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF offers a different type of technology exposure.

Many investors think of technology through a US lens, but Asia plays a huge role in the global digital economy.

The region is home to major companies involved in semiconductors, hardware, ecommerce, gaming, cloud services, digital platforms, and consumer technology. This includes WeChat owner Tencent Holdings and search and robotaxi giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU).

That gives this ASX ETF exposure to both sides of the technology story. Asia helps build many of the components that power the digital world, while also serving enormous consumer markets that continue to adopt new online services.

It is worth noting that the fund is more concentrated than a broad global ETF, so investors should expect ups and downs. But given its strong long-term growth potential, the rewards could comfortably outweigh the risks.

Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

Finally, the Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF brings the growth story closer to home.

This ASX ETF invests in Australian technology companies, giving investors exposure to a part of the local market that looks very different from banks and miners.

Its holdings can include businesses involved in software, digital marketplaces, payments, online services, and technology-enabled platforms. This includes Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO) and WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC).

This means that the fund gives investors a way to back local innovation without relying on one company to deliver.

It may not be as diversified as a broad market fund, and smaller technology shares can be sensitive to interest rates and investor sentiment. But if Australia continues producing globally competitive digital businesses, this fund could have plenty of long-term growth potential.
