SDY ETF Review 2026: 20-Year Dividend Aristocrats — Worth the 0.35% Fee?
SDY (SPDR S&P Dividend ETF) tracks the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, requiring 20+ consecutive years of dividend increases across the S&P Composite 1500 — not 25 years like NOBL. We examine the yield-weighted methodology, how it compares to SCHD and NOBL, whether the 0.35% expense ratio is justified, and who should actually own it.
