You could consider high yield bonds, some of those pay out 4% to 5%. But, they are EXTREMELY risky. As, you can see from the huge equity drop in the last few days. In times of great stress, any kind of fixed income above 3% yield, will drop down 15% to 25% (at least in the latest example). Not, quite as huge of a drop as equities but still enough to make you worry.
