About this ETF
The Dimensional - US Core Equity Market ETF (DFAU) aims to construct a portfolio spanning a diverse range of U.S. companies, regardless of their size. Its investment approach strategically overweights businesses that exhibit smaller market capitalizations, more attractive valuations (lower relative prices), and higher profitability, giving them greater prominence than their general representation within the broader U.S. equity market. A core principle dictates that, under typical circumstances, the fund will commit at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities of U.S.-based companies. Additionally, the fund's advisor possesses the discretion to actively manage positions, either increasing or decreasing exposure to a particular company, or even excluding it, based on shorter-term analytical factors such as its price momentum and other pertinent investment characteristics.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns.

Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
