Our read on DSTX
DValue with a cash-flow lens: DSTX screens large non-US companies for stable cash flow and low debt, then owns the roughly 100 cheapest on free cash flow yield. Weighting follows cash generated, not market cap.
The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Distillate International Fundamental Stability & Value Index.
Why people hold it
- Value here means free cash flow yield measured against enterprise value, not price-to-book, with profitability, debt and cash-flow-stability screens applied first.distillatecapital.comdistillatecapital.com
- Positions are weighted by free cash flow generation and rebalanced quarterly, so a holding's size tracks the cash it throws off rather than its market price.distillatecapital.com
- Concentrated on purpose: about 100 large and mid-cap names from developed and emerging markets, with distributions paid quarterly.distillatecapital.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.55%, it carries a higher fee than the typical international value fund; FIVA (0.18%) and EWJV (0.15%) run the same factor for a fraction of that.
- One of the lighter-traded funds in its peer group, so the bid-ask spread matters more here than with the category's index heavyweights.
- A manager's proprietary cash-flow model drives selection, and roughly 100 stocks can leave the portfolio looking little like a broad EAFE benchmark.distillatecapital.com
