Our read on DSMC
CSmall-cap value usually means buying whatever screens cheap. Distillate ranks on free cash flow instead and typically skips heavily indebted companies, so the bargain bin arrives pre-sorted for balance sheets.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed strategy focused on securities with attractive valuation and cash-flow and quality characteristics.
Why people hold it
- 0.55% a year, below the median for active US stock ETFs. Active stock picking without the old-school active price tag.
- The screen scores valuation on free cash flow and quality on a proprietary debt-to-income measure, and typically avoids companies carrying significant leverage.distillatecapital.com
- A tight book of roughly 100 small and mid caps, and what it owns stands among the stronger portfolios in its active US equity peer group. Pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded and modest in size next to index giants, so spreads can run wider. Limit orders matter more here than on a mega-cap fund.
- Cash-flow and leverage screens cut out sizeable slices of the small-cap market, so sector weights and results can wander well away from a plain small-cap index.distillatecapital.com
- Smaller companies move harder in both directions than large caps, a risk the fund's own prospectus spells out. Launched in 2022, so the live record is short.distillatecapital.com
