Our Expertise

SPDR Dividend Aristocrats

ETFs source quality yield by focusing on companies with a long, consistent history of paying dividends.

Additional filters, such as maximum payout ratio, help to further ensure that the companies in the Dividend Aristocrats indices are of the highest order.

With the SPDR Dividend Aristocrats ESG range, investors can also add an ESG exclusion strategy to the global, European and US exposures, which introduces a layer of sustainability to these ETFs.

SPDR Quality Aristocrats

In an environment of high inflation and high interest rates, having a healthy cash flow is can be vital, as debt becomes both harder and more costly to issue.

Our research-driven Quality Aristocrats methodology strategy selects for companies which have positive free cash flow (“FCF”) for at least 10 consecutive years - delivering a high-quality factor exposure.

This tilts the portfolio towards quality stocks with higher levels of excess cash - suggesting stronger profitability - and towards growth stocks because higher levels of excess cash can support business expansion opportunities.
