Investors are closing the books on another eventful year — marked by record highs for the major stock market indices, record action in Treasury yields and record assets and flows into ETFs. 2024 was also marked by a much-debated pivot from the Federal Reserve, a dramatic Republican sweep in Washington, and plenty of geopolitical turmoil.

DFUS: A Core Outperformer (Slightly)
Dimensional U.S. Equity ETF offers a chance to outperform core passive benchmarks with a long history and over $9.6 billion in assets. The fund includes nearly 2,500 companies, mirrors the Russell 3000 Index, and has sector weightings similar to the benchmark. DFUS has outperformed its benchmark over the last two years, but potential Tech sector overexposure may be a concern in the current market cycle.

DFUS Vs. SPY: Holding Broader ETF Doesn't Really Make A Difference Right Now
Dimensional U.S. Equity ETF has a long history, but may not outperform the SPY due to various reasons listed here. DFUS has a wide spread into small and mid-cap securities, but this hasn't made a significant difference in its performance compared to the SPY. The likelihood of a major rotation out of tech and into other sectors is low, making the SPY a better option for long-term capital appreciation and total return.
