Types of Dividend Stocks

Champions Vs. Achievers Vs. Aristocrats Vs. Kings

Dividend Aristocrats

Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that have raised their dividends for the past 25+ consecutive years and are also part of the S&P 500 index. That means these types of companies tend to be large in size but no longer experience massive amounts of growth like they used to. However, they are very much recession-proof (great for hedging your risky plays) and as an investor, you can enjoy growing dividends during the good and bad times.
