Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Twenty-five consecutive years of increases is survivorship at its most brutal: a company must have raised its payout through the dot-com bust, the financial crisis and the pandemic to qualify. NOBL equal-weights the survivors, so no single giant dominates and the mid-cap aristocrats matter as much as the household names. It reliably lags euphoric markets and earns its 0.35% fee in the down years, when aristocrats' drawdowns run structurally shallower.
Who It's For
Long-horizon income growers and inheritance-minded investors who value payout reliability over yield size — the Aristocrats' average yield is modest; the growth of it is the point.
