Dogs of the ETF Universe Backtesting Tool

Here's an interactive tool for backtesting my Dogs of the ETF Universe investment strategy. It's loosely based on the popular Dogs of the Dow strategy. With the Dogs of the Dow, the 10 highest yielding stocks are bought each year, and held for a year. My Dogs of the ETF Universe strategy is somewhat different to the original strategy: I simply buy the year's worst performing ETFs and hold them for a year.
