RDOG is a passively-managed fund applying the Dogs of the Dow Theory to a rules-based investment strategy for US REITs. The fund aims to provide high dividend exposure by selecting the five highest yielding REITs within nine equally-weighted REIT segments. RDOG is different in that it excludes the mortgage REITs segment to avoid REITs most sensitive to interest rates and credit spreads and includes technology REITs adding potentially a more growth tilt. The index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually. Prior to January 2, 2019, the fund was named Cohen & Steers Global Realty Majors ETF tracking an index with the same name and ticker GRI.
