1.98% on a trailing 12-month basis as of October 30, 2026: $1.17 of distributions per share on a $59.13 price. That is about $198 a year on a $10,000 investment. The yield moves with the share price and with each payment.
No. NOBL pays quarterly. See our list of ETFs that pay monthly dividends if you need monthly income. The most recent ex-dividend date in our data was September 23, 2026, at $0.283 per share.
0.35% a year, or about $35 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
Mostly qualified dividends, and the low yield keeps the annual tax bill small. A good fit for taxable accounts.
The purest Dividend Aristocrats fund, for investors who value a long record of raises and accept a higher fee. The main risk: equal weighting and the 25-year rule keep it away from the largest growth stocks, so it can lag the S&P 500 for long stretches. This is general information, not personal advice.
