SDOG ISSUER
SDOGALPS Advisors, Inc. is an investment firm that aims to replicate the performance of the Underlying Index before fees and expenses. The Underlying Index tracks the highest dividend-paying stocks (Dividend Dogs) in the S-Network US Equity WR Large-Cap 500 Index on a sector-by-sector basis.

SDOG DIVIDEND
Efficiently replicating the performance of the highest dividend-paying stocks, SDOGALPS Advisors' SDOG DIVIDEND leverages a rules-based approach. This strategy focuses on selecting five top dividend-yielding stocks in ten sectors of the S-Net 500, excluding real estate, offering investors a sector-by-sector insight. These dividend dogs, drawn from the 500 largest stocks, are equally weighted and rebalanced quarterly to provide an avenue for potential income generation.
SDOG TRACKING
The SDOGALPS Advisors, Inc. aims to replicate the performance of the Underlying Index, which tracks the highest yielding stocks known as Dogs from various sectors in the S-Net 500, excluding real estate. These Dogs are selected based on yield calculations derived from regular cash dividends over the previous year, divided by share price. The index comprises 50 equally weighted stocks, chosen from ten sectors, and is rebalanced quarterly.
SDOG CORRELATION
The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF, known by its ticker symbol SDOG, aims to track the performance of the S-Network Sector Dividend Dogs Index. This index is composed of the highest dividend-yielding stocks from the S&P 500, providing a focus on income-generating assets. While SDOG is designed to have a high correlation with its underlying index, it may not perfectly mirror the broader equity markets. The ETF's focus on high-dividend stocks often makes it more sensitive to interest rate changes and less correlated with growth-oriented sectors. Therefore, SDOG offers a unique type of market exposure, making it an interesting option for investors looking for income and a different set of risk and return characteristics compared to the broader market.
