For long-term performance, investors should consider pivoting their portfolios toward stocks that deliver high and growing dividend payouts, Barron's reports. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, which includes members of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) that have raised their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years, has delivered a total return of almost 300% since inception in 2005, versus 221% for the S&P 500 and 168% for the S&P 500 Value Index.
The 12-month dividend yield for the Aristocrats is 2.55%, compared to 1.84% for the broader S&P 500. Key members of the Aristocrats include Medtronic PLC (MDT), Target Corp. (TGT), Sysco Corp. (SYY), Aflac Inc. (AFL), Automated Data Processing Inc. (ADP) and Roper Technologies Inc. (ROP).
