ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF

NOBL tracks an equal-weighted index of S&P 500 constituents that have increased dividend payments annually for at least 25 years.

The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats posted a 5.69% loss in September, underperforming the S&P 500 by 1.01% and was the worst-performing dividend ETF out of 43 that I track. Although the group benefited from its low exposure to Technology stocks, they weren't able to capitalize as poor security selections explained nearly all of the underperformance.
