Our read on EDOG
CThe Dogs of the Dow playbook, exported to emerging markets. EDOG's index hunts high-dividend stocks sector by sector rather than grabbing whatever corner of EM happens to yield most, then pays the income out quarterly.
EDOG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the S-Network Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs Index, which selects high-dividend stocks from emerging markets across sectors.
Why people hold it
- Sector-by-sector construction: the index picks high-dividend EM stocks across sectors, so the portfolio doesn't collapse into one yield-heavy industry.alpsfunds.com
- 0.60% a year, in line with the typical emerging-market dividend fund. Roughly 50 stocks, income paid quarterly.
- Running since 2014 as a plain 1940 Act index ETF: no leverage, no derivatives overlay, and a decade-plus of live results through real EM cycles.
Worth knowing
- A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can run wider than in the category's giants, and bigger orders take more care to fill.
- Cheaper doors into EM dividends exist: DIEM charges 0.19% and EDIV 0.49% for the same broad job.
- A yield-first value screen tilts toward beaten-down names, and the fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital.alpsfunds.com
