Alps ETF Trust - Sector Dividend Dogs ETF is an open-end investment management company.

The fund generally will invest in all of the securities that comprise the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. As of Nov 30 2012, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $65,422,801 and $62,163,666, respectively. The SDOG stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the SDOG stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2014 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the SDOG annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
