The ALPS | O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend ETF is an exchange-traded fund focused on providing investors with access to a diversified portfolio of high-quality, dividend-paying large- and mid-cap companies based in developed markets outside the United States. Its primary function is to track the performance of the O'Shares International Developed Quality Dividend Index, which selects companies according to a range of fundamental factors, including return on assets, financial leverage, dividend growth, and stability.
