With interest rates falling this year, it's gotten a bit tougher for yield-seeking investors to get an attractive payout. Many rate-sensitive investments -- including lots of higher yielding dividend stocks -- have risen in value as investors have piled in, which has pushed down their yields.

However, there still are some stocks that offer compelling yields with a lower risk profile. Here are five great ones with payouts of at least 5% to consider buying.
