ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (the Fund) is an open-end management investment company. The fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index. The fund focuses exclusively on high-quality companies that have not just paid dividends but grown them for at least 25 consecutive years, with most doing so for 40 years or more. Often household names, NOBL's holdings generally have had stable earnings, solid fundamentals, and strong histories of profit and growth. The NOBL stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the NOBL stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2016 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the NOBL annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
