Key Insights from NOBL’s History

Dividend Aristocrats Core

NOBL invests exclusively its money into S&P 500 companies that have raised their dividends for at least 25 years in a row. This tells that the portfolio is made up of high-quality, stable businesses.

Reliable Dividend Growth

The ETF has shown steady dividend growth every year which shows that the stocks hold a strong fundamental history.

Defensive Qualities

Dividend Aristocrats are less likely to change and can protect investors when the market is in a downtrend which is why NOBL is a popular choice for people who don’t want to take risks.

Quarterly Income Stream

NOBL pays dividends every three months which gives investors a steady and predictable income stream.

What is the NOBL ETF?

The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) is one of the funds that follows a select group of S&P 500 companies. You can use this tool to determine how much money you could make based on past data, look at trends in dividend growth and learn about the long-term value of putting your expected investment into these high-quality, dividend-growing companies.

Understanding the Dividend Aristocrats Strategy

NOBL doesn’t just buy any stock that pays you dividends. It is based on the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index which has strict rules that you must need to know:

  • 25+ Years of Growth: You must be a member of the S&P 500 and the company have increased its total dividend per share annually for at least 25 consecutive years.
  • Diversification: The index is diversified across different sectors and therefore according to the rule no one sector can provide you more than 30% of the index’s weight.
  • Equal Weighting: Every company in the index has the same weight and so no one company can have a big impact on the fund’s performance.

This focus on consistent dividend growth often leads to a portfolio of financially stable, mature companies with strong balance sheets and durable competitive advantages.

How Our Calculations Work

Yield-on-Cost (YOC)

Yield-on-Cost (YOC) is referred to the dividend yield compared to the price an investor paid for a stock or ETF when they bought it. Therefore it is calculated by dividing the annual dividend income by the initial investment cost. The formula is:

YOC = (Current Annual Dividend per Share / Your Original Cost per Share) * 100

Total Return (Simplified)

The total return is the sum of the price increase and the dividends earned over a certain time. It is the combination of capital gains, dividends and any dividends that are reinvested.

Our calculator provides a simplified projection. It estimates capital appreciation using the average historical dividend growth rate and adds an estimate of total dividends received. This is for illustrative purposes and does not account for share price volatility or dividend reinvestment (DRIP).

Pros and Cons of Investing in NOBL

Pros

  • High Quality: Holdings are financially sound companies with a long history of rewarding shareholders.
  • Lower Volatility: Tends to be less volatile than the broader S&P 500, especially during market downturns.
  • Reliable Growth: Focuses on consistent dividend growth, which can lead to a rising income stream.

Cons

  • Lower Starting Yield: The initial dividend yield is often lower than other dividend-focused ETFs.
  • May Lag in Bull Markets: The defensive nature of the holdings may cause it to underperform the S&P 500 during strong market rallies.
  • Strict Rules: The strict 25-year rule can exclude strong, growing companies that are newer to paying dividends.
