Dividend Aristocrats are the model of consistency. To be a part of the club, a company must be a member of the S&P 500 index and have increased its annual dividend payment for the last 25 years. Many associate the group with income investing and dividend growth, but Dividend Aristocrats have beaten the broader market in total returns, notching better results over one-,three-, five-, and 10-year periods. Within this group of quality companies, our analysts like 10 in particular for investors looking for steady stable income (and some growth too!).

As the world moves towards renewable energy, simultaneously making massive investments in AI infrastructure which demands a gargantuan amount of power to run, certain investment opportunities should be on the radar for investors for the long term. TCW Senior Portfolio Manager Eli Horton joins Wealth! to give insight into why power and energy ETFs may be a smart play for investor portfolios. "We are really starting to see the beginning of what we consider a mega theme or a transformative investment opportunity in the transformation of our energy system. If you think about it, we are in the very early innings of migrating from using all fossil fuels to 100% renewable power generation, and we are only about 15% of the way there," Horton cements how much of an opportunity these ETFs may be for investors. "There's been a lot of lofty targets that we'll make it by 2050 to a net zero state: We won't. This is a very complex challenge. The world's investing $5 to 6 trillion per year to solve this problem." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Wealth!
