Fund Description: ALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of ALPS ETF Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The ALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF seeks investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, generally to the price and yield performance of the S-Network Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The S-Network Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs Index is a rules-based index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of the highest dividend paying stocks (i.e. Dividend Dogs) in the S-Network Emerging Markets Index, a universe of mainly large capitalization stocks domiciled in emerging markets (the S-Network Emerging Markets) on a sector-by-sector basis. Dividend Dogs refers to the five stocks in each of the ten Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sectors that make up the S-Network Emerging Markets which offer the highest dividend yields. Emerging market countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. The Index generally consists of 50 stocks on each annual reconstitution date, which is the third Friday of December each year. The Index’s stocks must be constituents of the S-Network Emerging Markets universe, which includes stocks whose domicile and primary exchange listings are in countries identified by the World Bank as Upper Middle Income. The Index may include former Comecon (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, a former economic organization led by the Soviet Union that comprised Eastern Bloc countries and other socialist states elsewhere in the world) countries classified by the World Bank as High Income, and certain Lower Middle Income countries may also be included. Stocks from countries that do not have stock exchanges or open stock exchange structures will be excluded. The World Bank’s methodology for identifying Upper Middle Income Countries is based on the country’s gross national income (GNI) per capita. The selection criteria for the universe also includes requirements for sector inclusion, primary exchange listing, minimum market capitalization, average daily trading volume and other factors. The Index methodology selects the five stocks in each of the ten GICS sectors that make up the S-Network Emerging Markets which offer the highest dividend yields as of the last trading day of November. Dividend yield is computed based on the regular cash dividends paid by the company over the previous twelve month period, divided by the share price. The eligible stocks that are selected for inclusion in the Index’s portfolio are equally weighted. If there are less than five eligible securities represented in any sector, then the Index will include only those securities that qualify. Country representation is capped at five eligible securities. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities that comprise the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in those weightings. In those circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of the securities in the Index in proportions to replicate generally the performance of the Index as a whole. There may also be instances in which the Adviser may choose to overweight another security in the Index, purchase (or sell) securities not in the Index which the Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for one or more Index components or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques, in seeking to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. In addition, from time to time securities are added to or removed from the Index. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index. FUND MANAGEMENT: ALPS Advisors, Inc. will serve as the Investment Adviser to the Fund.
