Dividend ETFs are often viewed through yield and income. My analysis shows performance is driven far more by three other ingredients. I dig into seven popular dividend ETFs and uncover what's really driving returns beneath the income-focused marketing and familiar ticker symbols.

NOBL carries one of the most respected names in dividend investing, but when we put it head-to-head against 10 popular rivals over the same ten-year stretch, the scoreboard told a story most NOBL holders have never seen.
