VIG And NOBL: One Is The Gold Standard Of Dividend Aristocrat ETFs

Summary

• Dividend stocks, in general, and dividend aristocrats, in particular, have historically outperformed the market with lower volatility.
• The dominance of big tech in 2023 after over a decade of aristocrats lagging the S&P has caused some to ask, "Is dividend investing broken?".
• Actually, as NOBl and VIG, two popular aristocrat ETFs, show, the returns over the last decade are not surprising given what each ETF owns.
• Over the very long term, NOBL and VIG have superior fundamentals to the S&P and 97% of returns are ultimately decided by fundamentals.
• But one of these ETFs' superior portfolio strategies, resulting in a significantly faster long-term growth rate, should potentially lead to better returns, making it the gold standard of aristocrat ETFs.
