- SDOG tracks the equally-weighted S-Network Sector Dividend Dogs Index that is composed of the top 5 companies with the highest dividend yields from the ten sectors of the S&P 500.
- All the ten sectors from IT to energy are equally weighted in the benchmark, but some fluctuations do occur during the year between the rebalancing dates.
- Its recent total returns have been largely impacted by the switched market sentiment as value stocks have been on a tear after years of dramatic underperformance.
- SDOG would be a fine choice for investors who would like to see a portfolio with a value tilt but not overexposed to any of the ten GICS sectors represented in the S&P 500.
