Our read on DEUS

ETF.net Research

In short

AFour factors (value, momentum, quality, low volatility) blended into a single Russell 1000 portfolio of roughly 900 stocks, for 0.17% a year. One ticket instead of four separate factor sleeves.

Stated mandate

The fund uses a passive indexing approach to seek returns that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.17% a year undercuts the typical multifactor fund, and comes in under blend-style peers like FNDX at 0.25%.
  • One wrapper carries four tilts at once: value, momentum, quality and low volatility, tracked through the Russell 1000 Comprehensive Factor Index.
  • Roughly 900 US names, so no single stock carries the thesis. Pays quarterly.
  • Live since 2015, and it sits in the upper half of a crowded multifactor peer group.

Worth knowing

  • Trades lightly next to the category's giants. Limit orders and a glance at the spread matter more here than with a mega-fund.
  • Blending four factors dilutes each one. A single-factor fund gives a more concentrated dose of whichever tilt you actually want.
  • Looking different from a plain cap-weighted Russell 1000 is the design, so the portfolio can diverge from the headline index in either direction.
