DFSV is a U.S.-listed ETF that uses a market capitalization-weighted approach to purchase readily marketable securities of American small cap companies that the Advisor identifies as trading at lower relative prices, consistent with a value-tilted strategy. As a non-fundamental policy, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in small cap U.S. equities.
Operated by Dimensional Fund Advisors, the ETF follows a systematic, evidence-based investment approach rooted in academic research into stock characteristics such as company size and relative price. Launched in February 2022, DFSV targets the small value segment of the U.S. equity market, distinguishing itself from broad market or pure small cap funds by emphasizing companies that screen as cheaper on relative valuation metrics.
