Interesting - but many questions - a few for starters:
on what day/date did this index start?

Dividend Aristocrats Outperform in November

It is my undwrstanding that the "new" list of aristocrats will be made public in early December.
From what I understand, a number of the current year listing have not reported their last quarter dividends and thus the jury is still out in terms of all the cuurent list being on next years list. for example BAC and maybe 10 others have reduced their dividends already this year and about 20 have not declared their last quarter div and a few of these may choose to NOT raise and or actually reduce their annual div rate.
With this in mind, "when" do you anticipate being made aware of the "new" listing for next year?
It was my understanding that it would be by the end of this week.
If so, is the list made public through some press release or ??
