IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES & DEFINITIONS
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus which contain
this and other information call 866.675.2639 or visit www.alpsfunds.com.
Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
ALPS International Sector Dividend Dogs ETF Shares are not individually
redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the ALPS International
Sector Dividend Dogs ETF on a secondary market. Only market makers
or “authorized participants” may trade directly with the Fund, typically
in blocks of 50,000 shares.
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including the loss of money.
Additional information regarding the risks of this investment is available in
the prospectus.
The Fund is subject to the additional risks associated with concentrating its
investments in companies in the market sector.
Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.
The Fund’s investments in non-U.S.
issuers may involve unique risks
compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others,
greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial
information than for U.S.
issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic
or social developments could undermine the value of the Fund’s investments
or prevent the Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial
reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those
in the United States.
Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which
the Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar,
which may affect the value of the investment to U.S. investors.
An investor
cannot invest directly in an index.
