ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF

KNGZ recently reorganized to become a Defensive Dividend Aristocrat ETF. The ETF mains to mirror the sector exposures of the S&P 500 Index, and is expected to yield 3.00%. This article evaluates whether this new strategy is good enough to take on NOBL, the leading Dividend Aristocrat ETF with nearly $12 billion in assets under management.
