Comparison of First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund (FXU) to ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (SDOG)
FXU

First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX Fund

FXU Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the StrataQuant(R) Utilities Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by NYSE Euronext to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000(R) Index in the utilities sector that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.

SDOG

ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF

SDOG Description The investment seeks investment results that replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the performance of the S-Network Sector Dividend Dogs Index. The underlying index is a rules-based index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of the highest dividend paying stocks in the S&P 500 on a sector-by-sector basis. The fund generally will invest in all of the securities that comprise the underlying index in proportion to their weightings in the underlying index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the underlying index in those weightings.
