Frequently asked questions

What is a Dividend Aristocrat?

A Dividend Aristocrat is an S&P 500 company that has increased its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. The list emphasizes dividend growth stamina over raw yield.

How is this Aristocrats list different from Dividend Kings?

Aristocrats require 25+ years of raises and S&P 500 membership. Dividend Kings require 50+ years of raises and are not limited to the S&P 500.

Do Dividend Aristocrats always have high yields?

No. Many Aristocrats yield in the low-to-mid single digits. The strategy is reliable dividend growth and quality, not maximum current income.
