Dividend Aristocrats normally have a lower volatility than other stocks. This could also be an disadvantage because you give up performance in a strong up moving market. The solution is simple: Look at high beta stocks. They can give you a better return when the market is very bullish.

It’s how I told it: Only a few Dividend Aristocrats, around 30 percent, are riskier than the market but they can also deliver you a better performance in return. For the time being, twelve of the High Beta Dividend Aristocrats have a buy or better rating.
