Summary
The ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (IDOG) tracks the S-Network International Sector Dividend Dogs Index. It invests in undervalued dividend-paying stocks in developed economies in Europe, Australian, and the Far East (EAFE).
Investment Thesis
Dividend dogs tend to be established companies whose stock prices have declined due to unpopularity among investors. They provide dividend income with the added benefit of potential capital appreciation if the stocks’ valuations correct themselves.
