DOGG vs EDGX

DOGGCFT Vest DJIA Dogs 10 Target Income ETF

EDGXBGlobal X U.S. 500 Income Edge ETF

In short

DOGG The 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.

EDGX Income on a weekly clock. EDGX writes calls on part of a 500-stock US large-cap core, targets a 9% annualized distribution rate, and currently charges nothing: the 0.50% fee is waived to zero through March 1, 2027.

Stated mandate

DOGG 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.

EDGX The fund seeks current income and exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index. It is actively managed and generates weekly income by writing call options.

Why people hold it

• DOGG 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.

• EDGX The entire 0.50% fee is waived to zero through March 1, 2027. Peers in the group carry theirs with no waiver: DJIA at 0.60%, THTA at 0.65%, HYGW at 0.69%.
• Pays weekly rather than quarterly, targeting a 9% annualized distribution rate funded by option premiums and the dividends thrown off by its equity sleeve.globalxetfs.comglobalxetfs.com 2
• Calls are sold on only a portion of the portfolio, and the managers dial coverage up or down as market conditions shift, so some equity exposure stays uncapped.globalxetfs.comglobalxetfs.com 2
• One of the stronger implementations in a crowded options-income field of roughly two dozen funds.

Worth knowing

• DOGG 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.

• EDGX The waiver ends March 1, 2027. Unless it is extended, the 0.50% gross expense ratio applies after that.
• The covered slice gives up gains above the strike, and the 9% figure is a target, not a floor: distributions come out of NAV and may include return of capital.streetinsider.com
• Launched in 2026, it is a small fund that trades thinly, so the bid-ask spread is part of the cost of getting in and out.
