Summary

  • I'm going on a 2-week vacation with my family for my sister's wedding, so I've prepared a comprehensive article with three types of dividend aristocrat recommendations for whateveriscomingnext.
  • Low-volatility aristocrats offer a 3.4% yield, a 46% downside capture ratio, and 52% less volatility than the S&P, making them ideal for addressing recession concerns while still providing a 23% return.
  • High-yield aristocrats offer a 7% average yield with 11%-12% long-term return potential, providing low-risk income regardless of market or economic conditions.
  • Growth aristocrats, with a 1.3% yield, promise 16.1% CAGR returns, significantly outperforming the S&P and Nasdaq, with up to 71% upside this year.
  • Remember that whatever happens in the next 1–3 months, history is clear. Come April 7th, 2026, 1 year after VIX 60, stocks have always been higher (average of 40%). Buy something smart, and you'll thank me in a year;).
