The Dividend Aristocrats Index contains high quality dividend growth stocks in the S&P 500 that have managed to boost their dividend payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Rising dividends are often the sign of a profitable and healthy firm. Only about 10% of S&P 500 member companies are dividend aristocrats and possess the attractive qualities needed to lift dividends for such a long period. Not surprisingly, the Dividend Aristocrats Index has outperformed the S&P 500 by approximately 3% per year over the last decade.
