Our read on DOGG
CThe Dogs of the Dow, that decades-old contrarian screen for the Dow's ten highest yielders, wired to a call-writing income engine. The income target is a formula: roughly 8% a year above the Dow's own yield, before fees.
The fund seeks exposure to the ten highest-yielding Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks, using their securities and options referencing them. It also seeks consistent income of about 8% annualized above the DJIA yield.
Why people hold it
- The income goal is a formula, not a guess: about 8% annualized above the DJIA's own yield, before fees and expenses. Distributions land monthly.businesswire.com
- The equity sleeve is ten large, widely followed Dow names, reranked by dividend yield once a year, so the buy list follows a rule instead of a manager's hunch.ftportfolios.com
- Calls are written on each holding rather than on one index, and Treasuries plus FLEX options fill in the exposure, so income is harvested name by name.businesswire.com
- At 0.75% a year, the fee sits about where the typical options-income fund in its peer group lands, so the options machinery isn't priced as a luxury.
Worth knowing
- Selling calls on every holding trades away part of any upside in those names, and the 8% income target is stated before fees and expenses.businesswire.com
- Ten stocks picked purely on yield is concentrated exposure. One name's stumble carries more weight here than in a fund holding the full Dow 30.ftportfolios.com
- A smaller fund that trades lightly next to category heavyweights like DJIA, which can mean wider spreads at the moment you trade.
