ALPS REIT Dividend Dogs ETF jumps 4.3% on REIT M&A activity and restructuring news

The ALPS REIT Dividend Dogs ETF (RDOG) gained 4.3% last week, leading all ALPS funds due to strong merger and acquisition activity in the REIT sector. Key holdings like SBA Communications and Crown Castle surged on takeover interest and restructuring plans, benefiting from the fund's strategy of targeting high-yield REITs often trading at discounts. Other REITs in storage, industrial, and hospitality sectors also contributed to gains amid a broader real estate market rally supported by lower interest rates. RDOG's equal-weight, high-yield approach positioned it well to capture value from ongoing M&A deals and sector momentum.
