The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index includes members of the S&P 500 Index that have increased their dividends every year for at least the last 25 consecutive years. The list is updated at the beginning of each calendar year, and typically, around 50 stocks qualify for inclusion. There were no changes for 2017 and the list currently includes 50 stocks.

Historically, since their 2005 inception, the Dividend Aristocrats have produced more or less the same returns as the S&P 500 index. The major exception was 2008 when the Aristocrats only dropped 22% compared to the S&P 500's 37% loss.
