What does NOBL hold?#

This fund owns S&P 500 companies that have raised their dividends every year for at least 25 years. Each company gets about the same weight. It still goes up and down with the stock market.

What is the NOBL expense ratio?#

NOBL charges 0.35% a year. An expense ratio is the yearly fee a fund takes to run itself. On $10,000, a 0.35% fee comes to about $35 a year.

You never get a bill for it. The fund takes the fee out of its own value a little each day.

How has NOBL done since 2013?#

From October 2013 to October 2026, NOBL returned about 10.5% a year. Say you put in $10,000 at the start. It would have been worth about $36,658 at the end, with every dividend reinvested.

Prices through October 16, 2026. Figures use daily closing prices adjusted for splits, with dividends reinvested. They do not include taxes or the cost of buying and selling. Past results do not tell you what will happen next.

What was NOBL’s worst drop?#

A drawdown is how far a fund falls from its last high point. NOBL’s worst fall was −35.4%, from January 17, 2020 to March 23, 2020. It got back to that high on October 8, 2020.

The chart shows how far below its last high the fund was on each day. Big drops are normal for some funds. They matter because selling during a drop locks in the loss.
