Okay, here we have some other options for dogs of the Dow take a look here. Here we have etn exchange traded notes which cover the pure play of the 10 highest dividend yielding securities, Nikko margins basically the dogs of the Dow and only charges 75 basis points annual fee 75 basis point is less than 1%. In fact, it's point seven five, which is extremely cheap. This one alone return nearly 11% in 2014. Now, the reason why we're talking about these is if you have excessive funds, or you don't have enough money to do the dogs avail strategy as say the example we gave earlier was $10,000. If you have less than that might be worthwhile just to invest in one of these And write it out for the year.
And you can add to it as needed and then rebalance and sell at the end of the year. Next one is the sector s dog. This one does a sector by sector basis on the s&p 500 or the five highest yielding securities, equal win. This one has 40 basis points and fees, which is point 4%. And this was up over 16% in 2014. Here we have the I shows high dividend where they go for the 75 highest dividend stocks.
Nine dogs that don't count for more than half the portfolio so you have quite an exposure to that. It's only 12 basis point, point one, two, and fees extremely cheap and gain nearly 14% last year. And then here we have the index fun Morningstar 99 Stocks but for the dogs, the Dow and the expense ratio is getting low point four, five. And this one did 14% in 2014. Finally, Vanguard telecommunication Vo x. This is interesting because you have two big former dogs, at&t which was on the dog list, and now they're out of the Dow component altogether.
I still own it. And it's still going up in value in the current small dog, Verizon, which is also in this fun. Now, why would I want to hold this fun because it only has two top dogs, but as 32 stocks and it has a big play in the telecommunication services. If you look at the underperformance of a sector as of January 2018, telecommunications has been pretty beaten For quite a period of time, so if I have access to funds, I would want to get Vanguard sector ETF because I feel that's going to outperform this year. And of course, being Vanguard as extremely low expense ratio, point one 2%. So it's pretty good ETF to hold so there's some further options in a dog so the Dow strategy and again, second look at if you don't have much income to invest in it or you want to have a place to put your dividends as they come in or any cash or any profits, then you can certainly do well, spreading the risk out with these different sectors here.
