ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF upgraded to Buy with 4.2% yield and strong dividend growth

The ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (IDOG) has been upgraded to a 'Buy' rating due to its attractive 4.2% dividend yield, solid dividend growth, and low concentration risks. Since inception, IDOG has outperformed the MSCI EAFE benchmark with a 1.1% annualized excess return and has shown strong recent performance. The fund offers balanced exposure across sectors and countries with a diversified portfolio of 50 large-cap international stocks, making it a compelling choice for income-focused investors. An alternative fund, DIVI, offers lower expenses, higher liquidity, and slightly better risk-adjusted returns, providing investors with options based on their preferences.
