SDOG: Avoid This 'Dogs Of The Dow' Strategy
The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF implements a 'Dogs of the Dow' strategy on a sector-by-sector basis. Despite a strong 35.4% return in the past year, SDOG's long-term performance lags behind peers like RSP, EQL, and SPY. Although SDOG offers an attractive 3.7% distribution yield, I believe investors can get superior distribution yields and total returns elsewhere.

What Does A High Dividend ETF Own?
Following the Fed's aggressive rate cut in mid-September, we believe many advisors are rethinking how they are providing stable income for client portfolios. High-dividend-yielding equity investments are likely to get closer looks in the fourth quarter after strong recent performance.

SDOG: Did I Underestimate This 3.76% Yielding Dividend Dogs ETF?
SDOG is an equal-weight-by-sector large-cap ETF with a 3.76% expected dividend yield. Despite my recent cautionary note, SDOG has outpaced SPY by 3.69% over the last three months. Still, other high-dividend ETFs performed well over this period, including SCHD, DHS, SPYD, and to a lesser extent, DIV. My analysis compares SDOG fundamentally with all four of these. It reveals that SPYD's quality features, though improved from May, could still be lacking, leaving shareholders vulnerable in a market downturn. Its primary advantage is a 13.50x forward P/E.

Beat Cash Yields With This Dividend ETF
With three-year Treasury yields hovering around 3.9% as of Aug. 9, it may not be surprising that, by some estimates, there's $6.5 trillion sitting in money market accounts. Due to high interest rates, cash instruments are more appealing than they've been in years.

SDOG: 4% Dividend Yield Isn't Enough For What These Dividend Dogs Sacrifice
SDOG's strategy is to select the five highest-yielding S&P 500 Index stocks from each of the 10 GICS sectors (excluding Real Estate) and weight them equally. It currently features an attractive 4.00% yield and has one of the lowest forward P/E's in the large-cap value category. However, that's where the good news ends. My analysis reveals SDOG scores near the bottom on other key factors like growth, momentum, quality, and sentiment. This unbalanced approach leads to inconsistent returns.
