The SPDR S&P Dividend ETF is one of the most extreme and exclusive of the dividend ETFs. it seeks to track the investment results of the S&P High-Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, which offers exposure to companies from the S&P Composite 1500 with at least 20 consecutive years of increasing dividends. Due to the index screen for 20 years of consecutively raising dividends, stocks included in the Index have both capital growth and dividend income characteristics, as opposed to stocks that are pure yield. By investing exclusively in firms that have raised their annual dividends each of the past 20 years, SPDR S&P Dividend ETF pursues yield in a risk-conscious, quality-oriented manner.
