DFAC: An Equivalent To A Broad Market ETF

Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF is an actively managed fund with a tilt to value and profitability. DFAC is cheaper than the Russell 3000 index regarding valuation ratios, and growth metrics are a bit better too. The Fund's performance has closely followed the benchmark, and compared to other factor-based ETFs, it has lagged behind some competitors.

DFAC: Actively Managed Factor ETF That Underperforms

The Dimensional U.S. Core Equity 2 ETF uses factor investing to pick stocks. Its portfolio consists of over 2,600 securities, with a focus on small-cap value stocks. Unfortunately, the DFAC ETF has underperformed a passive Russell 3000 ETF over the past 5 and 10 years. Furthermore, there is a lack of clarity on the differences between DFAC and its sibling funds, making it difficult for investors to choose the right fund for their objectives.
