What are Dividend Aristocrats?
The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats are blue-chip companies in the S&P 500 that have raised their dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. To qualify, a company must be a current S&P 500 member, meet size and liquidity minimums, and maintain the increase streak. The result is a quality-tilted basket of established, cash-generative businesses — the index is the benchmark most dividend-growth ETFs are measured against.

What is a Dividend Aristocrat?
A Dividend Aristocrat is a member of the S&P 500 that has increased its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years and meets the index's size and liquidity requirements. The official benchmark is the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index.
What's the difference between a Dividend Aristocrat and a Dividend Champion?
Both require a 25+ year increase streak, but Aristocrats must also be current S&P 500 members, while Champions can be any U.S.-listed company. So every Aristocrat is a Champion, but many Champions (smaller or non-S&P 500 names) are not Aristocrats.
Which ETF tracks the Dividend Aristocrats?
The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) tracks the index directly. SPDR's SDY follows the broader S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats, and KNG adds a covered-call income overlay on the Aristocrats.
How often does the Aristocrats list change?
S&P reviews membership annually (typically in January), adding companies that reach 25 years and removing any that cut, freeze, or leave the S&P 500. This page tracks the 68 current members we have live data for.
