If you're looking for some generous dividends in 2021, then I think you ought to consider buying the two ASX dividend shares listed below.
Here's why I think they would be good options for income investors:
Australia and New Zealand Banking GrpLtd (ASX: ANZ)
The first ASX dividend share to consider buying is ANZ Bank. The banking giant's shares have been hammered this year because of the pandemic and are down materially from their 52-week high. And while this share price decline is not completely unjustified due to the probable increase in bad debts, I believe the selling has been overdone and created a buying opportunity.
Especially given the generous dividend yield on offer with the bank's shares. According to a note out of Goldman Sachs, its analysts expect ANZ to pay a partially franked 116 cents per share dividend in FY 2021. Based on the latest ANZ share price, this represents a very attractive 6.3% FY 2021 yield.
Aventus Group (ASX: AVN)
Another dividend share to consider buying is Aventus. It is a retail property company which owns a portfolio of 20 large format retail parks across Australia. Although retail property is going through a difficult time right now because of the pandemic, I believe Aventus is better positioned that most to ride out the storm. This is because its rental income has a high weighting towards everyday needs, which have been largely unaffected by the crisis.
Goldman Sachs is very positive on the company and has forecast a sizeable ~17.3 cents per unit distribution in FY 2021. Based on the current Aventus share price, this equates to a very generous forward ~8.25% distribution yield. Overall, I think this could make Aventus one of the better dividend shares to buy right now.
