Description: SDOG ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs January 19, 2026

The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (NYSE ARCA: SDOG) tracks an index that is reconstituted each year on the third Friday of December and holds exactly 50 large-cap U.S. stocks that are also members of the S-Network US Equity WR Large-Cap 500 Index, the standard benchmark for U.S. large-cap equities.

Key fund metrics (as of the latest publicly available data, Q4 2025) include an expense ratio of roughly 0.20%, a distribution yield near 4.5% annualized, and an average dividend growth rate of about 6% over the past five years. These figures suggest the ETF delivers a relatively high income stream while keeping costs low, which is typical for large-value dividend-focused products.

Economic drivers that tend to affect SDOG’s performance are the prevailing interest-rate environment and corporate earnings trends in defensive sectors such as utilities, consumer staples, and real estate. When rates rise, dividend-heavy large caps can face pressure, but strong earnings in these sectors often provide a cushion.

Given its focus on dividend-paying large caps, the fund’s risk-adjusted return profile generally aligns with the broader large-value style, delivering a Sharpe ratio that historically hovers around 0.8 – 0.9, though this can vary with market cycles.
