• Targeting a dividend yield above 10%? Try these shares on for size

    Australian dollar notes in the pocket of a man's jeans, symbolising dividends.

    Depending on what sort of investor you are, targeting either capital growth or high dividends might be your priority.

    For those who are targeting high dividends, it pays to keep an eye out for the stocks and funds that are paying out well, but which can still be bought cheaply on a yield basis.

    I’ve selected three that might fit the bill. Let’s have a look.

    Ophir High Conviction Fund (ASX: OPH)

    The Ophir High Conviction Fund only pays out a dividend once a year. The good news is it’s not too late to buy in.

    The ex-dividend date for the upcoming 35.17-cent-per-share dividend is June 30, so you’d have to move relatively quickly to be able to take advantage of it.

    Given the Ophir share price is currently $2.86, the shares are paying a dividend yield of 12.3%.

    It must be said that the shares are currently down 13.9% over a 12-month period, and are trading at a discount to the fund’s net asset value of $3.18.

    Ophir’s top five holdings are in A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M), MAAS Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: MGH), Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN), ResMed Inc (ASX: RMD), and SuperLoop Ltd (ASX: SLC).

    Atlas Arteria Ltd (ASX: ALX)

    Atlas Arteria has announced a 50% boost to its full-year dividend payout as it moves to fend off a takeover bid from Diamond Infraco.

    The toll roads operator previously had a dividend target of 40 cents per share, but on Monday morning, it said in a statement to the ASX that this target would be increased to 60 cents per share.

    At the company’s current share price of $5.10, that equates to a full-year dividend yield of 11.8%.

    The company said on Monday:

    The Independent Directors now intend to target paying distributions to ALX Securityholders of at least 60.0 cents per ALX Security in the 12 months following the end of the Offer Period made up of ordinary distributions of 40.0 cents per ALX Security and additional distributions of at least 20.0 cents per ALX Security. These distributions are expected to be funded by a combination of distributions from Atlas Arteria’s portfolio cash flows, proceeds from potential asset sales and, where appropriate, utilising corporate borrowing proceeds.

    WAM Capital Ltd (ASX: WAM)

    This fund has paid out a 7.75-cent dividend twice a year like clockwork in recent times, giving it a dividend yield of 10.1%.

    Part of well-known investor Geoff Wilson’s stable, the fund’s portfolio has returned an annualised 14.5% return since 1999, compared with 8.5% for the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO).

    The fund said in a recent statement that one of its top performers had been network-as-a-service provider Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1), while telco Tuas Ltd (ASX: TUA) was a drag on the portfolio.

  • Where I’d invest $10,000 in ASX 200 shares in FY27

    A young bank customer wearing a yellow jumper smiles as she checks her bank balance on her phone.

    If I had $10,000 to invest in ASX 200 shares in FY27, I would focus on businesses with room to grow for years.

    The market can move quickly, and FY27 will almost certainly bring surprises. But I think the best starting point is still quality.

    With that in mind, these are three ASX 200 shares I would consider buying.

    Netwealth Group Ltd (ASX: NWL)

    Netwealth is one ASX 200 share I would want exposure to in FY27.

    At its core, the company helps financial advisers and their clients manage wealth through a modern investment platform. But I think the more interesting point is what that platform allows advisers to do.

    Advice businesses are under pressure to serve clients more efficiently, manage more paperwork, provide better reporting, and build portfolios that can be tailored to individual needs. That creates a strong reason for advisers to use technology that reduces friction. Netwealth sits inside that workflow.

    The company benefits when more funds move onto its platform, but I think the long-term opportunity is about more than simply gathering assets. It is about becoming part of the operating system for wealth advice.

    Australia has a large pool of retirement savings, and many investors will need help managing that money over time. If Netwealth can keep making advisers’ jobs easier, it should have a long runway.

    Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)

    Breville is another ASX 200 share I would buy for FY27.

    I see Breville as a business built around small moments that happen every day. Coffee in the morning, toast before school, dinner after work, and a weekend meal prepared properly.

    That may sound simple, but those routines are exactly why the brand can be powerful. A well-designed kitchen appliance can become part of daily life, and customers who trust the brand may return when they upgrade or move into a new category.

    Breville also has a global opportunity. The company is not limited to Australia, and its premium positioning can travel well if the products keep earning their place on kitchen benches.

    The coffee category remains an important growth driver, but I also like the broader idea. Breville is trying to sell better tools for the home, not just appliances. That gives it a richer brand story than a standard retailer.

    Overall, I think Breville’s design culture, international reach, and category focus make it one of the more interesting consumer growth shares on the ASX.

    Lovisa Holdings Ltd (ASX: LOV)

    Lovisa is the third ASX 200 share I would consider for FY27.

    The jewellery retailer has built a business around fast product turnover, affordable pricing, and a store format that can be rolled out across many markets.

    What I find interesting is the repeat nature of the purchase. Lovisa is not selling items that customers necessarily buy once every few years. Fashion jewellery can be tied to outfits, events, gifting, travel, seasons, and changing styles. That gives the business plenty of chances to bring customers back.

    The model also has a useful simplicity. Small-format stores, high product density, and a sharp focus on one category can support attractive economics when execution is strong.

    But the global store opportunity is the main attraction in my opinion. Lovisa has already shown that the concept can work outside Australia, and I think there is still room to expand in existing and new markets. And if management continues to execute, Lovisa could be a much larger company over the long term.

    Foolish takeaway

    If I were investing $10,000 in ASX 200 shares in FY27, I would want businesses that can become more valuable through execution rather than simply waiting for the economy to improve.

    Netwealth, Breville, and Lovisa all have different growth engines, but each has a clear way to keep expanding if management keeps making good decisions.

    That is the appeal for me. FY27 may bring volatility, but quality businesses with long runways can still reward investors who give them enough time.

  • Down 80%, could this ASX growth share be dirt cheap?

    Young businesswoman sitting in kitchen and working on laptop.

    Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW) has been a painful share to own over the past year.

    The online furniture and homewares retailer has fallen heavily, which means investors have clearly lost confidence in the near-term outlook.

    In fact, Temple & Webster shares ended last week at $5.67, which is 80% below its 52-week high of $29.06.

    Despite the market falling out of love with it, I think the longer-term opportunity is still worth taking seriously.

    But it is important to remember that this is a higher-risk ASX growth share. Even so, I think Temple & Webster could be worth the risk for patient investors.

    A large market moving online

    Furniture and homewares is a big category. People need beds, sofas, tables, chairs, rugs, lighting, storage, office furniture, outdoor settings, and décor. Those purchases can be delayed when conditions are tough, but the category does not disappear.

    The long-term question is how much of that spending keeps shifting online.

    I think Temple & Webster is well placed if more customers become comfortable buying larger household items digitally. Online shopping allows people to compare products, styles, colours, dimensions, reviews, and prices without walking through multiple stores.

    That can be especially useful in furniture, where range matters.

    A traditional store has limited floor space. Temple & Webster can offer a much broader catalogue, giving customers more choice across styles and price points.

    The model has attractive potential

    The appeal of Temple & Webster is not just the online furniture theme.

    It is the possibility that scale can make the business more efficient over time.

    As the brand grows, the company should have more data on what customers want, which products convert, where demand is strongest, and how to improve the buying experience. Better data can help with marketing, product range, pricing, and customer retention.

    The business can also keep improving delivery, supplier relationships, and private label opportunities.

    That does not guarantee success. Execution will be crucial. But I like businesses where the model can become stronger with scale, and Temple & Webster has that potential.

    Why I’d consider buying

    I think the market can become too focused on the short-term discomfort around consumer discretionary retail.

    Consumer spending is under pressure at times, just like now as interest rates rise, and furniture can be a lumpy category. But investors buying today are not buying the same share price as a year ago.

    They are buying a business with a lower market valuation and, in my view, a long runway if management keeps improving the customer proposition.

    Temple & Webster will suit investors who can accept volatility. It is unlikely to feel like a smooth ride. But I think the online opportunity, brand position, and operating leverage potential make it one ASX growth share worth considering after its heavy fall.

    Foolish takeaway

    Temple & Webster is not a defensive stock. It is a growth share that requires patience and a tolerance for uncertainty.

    That said, the business is operating in a large category where online penetration can still grow. If the company keeps building trust, improving range, sharpening logistics, and using data well, the current weakness could eventually look like an opportunity.

    I think this is a share for investors who can look past a difficult period and focus on what the business could become over the next five to 10 years.
