Dividend Aristocrats

[10/19/06] Standard & Poor's launched its Dividend Aristocrats index in May 2005. The index is made up of 57 companies that raise dividends for 25 or more consecutive years. It is distributed among a broad range of industries and split roughly 50/50 between growth and value stocks.

The end result? A well-balanced portfolio of stable, blue-chip cash cows that offers better-than-average returns with less volatility.
