Index: Dow Jones High Yield Select 10 Total Return Index

(Dogs of the Dow Index)

The Dogs of the Dow Index is equal-dollar weighted and is comprised of the ten DJIA components with the highest dividend yield (each, an “Index Component”).

The ten Index Components are selected each December based on their indicated dividend yield. The Dogs of the Dow Index is a total return index, so dividends paid on the Index Components are incorporated into the level of the Dogs of the Dow Index.

The Dogs of the Dow Index is reconstituted and rebalanced at the end of December of each year, upon which each of the Index Components is set at 10% of the Dogs of the Dow Index. Although the weighting of each component stock will fluctuate due to price changes during the year, the Dogs of the Dow Index is not reweighted between annual rebalancings. Even if an Index Component is removed from the DJIA during the year, such Index Component will remain in the Dogs of the Dow Index until the next annual rebalancing.
