Description: DFAS Dimensional U.S. Small Cap

Dimensional U.S. Small Cap ETF (DFAS) is an exchange-traded fund that pursues broad exposure to U.S. small cap equities using a market capitalization weighted methodology. Under a non-fundamental policy, the fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to securities of small cap U.S. companies, aiming to build a diversified portfolio across the segment.

To manage cash flows, the fund may use futures contracts and options on futures tied to U.S. equity securities and indices, allowing it to adjust equity market exposure up or down in response to expected inflows or outflows. The fund was launched in December 1998 and falls within the Small Blend category, reflecting its focus on U.S. companies at the smaller end of the market capitalization spectrum.
