Could Investing ,000 in NOBL Make You a Millionaire?


Investing in dividend stocks can be a good strategy for people who want to earn income from their stock portfolio. The best high-yield dividend stocks can also deliver strong growth. Though there are no guarantees in investing, some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) investing in dividend stocks, like the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend AristocratsETF(NYSEMKT: NOBL), could even make you a millionaire — if you’re a patient, long-term investor. (The term Dividend Aristocrats® is a registered trademark of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC.)

This dividend ETF lets you invest in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats®, a select group of companies that have grown their dividends for more than 25 years. As of December 2025, the fund paid a dividend yield of 2.55%.

The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF invests in a portfolio of 69 stocks and charges an expense ratio of 0.35%. Since the fund was established in October 2013, it’s delivered average annual returns (by net asset value) of 11.1%. That’s slightly better than the long-term average stock market return of 10% per year.

But in the past year, NOBL has underperformed the S&P 500 index, gaining only 2.8% while the S&P 500 has gained about 15%. This fund has also underperformed the S&P 500 since its inception. Since October 2013, the S&P 500 is up about 292%, while this ETF has gained about 156%.

So, why invest in this fund if it can’t beat the S&P 500? You might consider this fund if you want to own stocks that typically deliver stable earnings and have strong track records of paying dividends. A dividend ETF like NOBL might also be less volatile than the rest of the S&P 500.

The NOBL fund’s sector weighting is broadly tilted toward consumer staples (23.8% of the fund), industrials (21.2%), financials (12.2%), materials (11.4%), and healthcare (10.1%). Top holdings include energy stocks Chevron (1.8% of the fund), ExxonMobil (1.8%), and NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) (1.7%); as well as chemical company Linde (NASDAQ: LIN) (1.7%).

Even if this dividend-stock fund doesn’t outperform the S&P 500, it could still make you a millionaire. Turning $10,000 into $1 million would require a 9,900% jump.
