About this ETF
The Dimensional - Short Duration Fixed Income ETF (DFSD) primarily invests in high-quality debt, with at least 80% of its net assets allocated to investment-grade fixed income securities. The portfolio largely focuses on instruments set to mature within five years of their settlement date. To manage interest rate exposure, the ETF generally targets a weighted average duration that remains within a specific range relative to its reference index, the ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Corporate & Government Index. This means its duration will typically not exceed the index's by more than half a year, nor fall more than one year below it.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
