Our read on DTAN
COld-school value screens run on book value, which shrugs at brands, patents and know-how. DTAN takes Sparkline's intangible-adjusted value model overseas, actively picking non-US stocks on an intrinsic value that tries to count the invisible assets.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation. It invests at least 80% of assets plus investment borrowings in publicly listed non-U.S. equities selected against the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary intangible-augmented intrinsic-value measure.
Why people hold it
- The screen is the whole product: at least 80% of assets in non-US listed equities chosen against an intangible-augmented intrinsic-value measure, not book value alone.
- 0.55% for active, boutique-quant international value sits under the typical fee in its peer group and matches JPMorgan's JIVE.
- Not a one-off experiment: Sparkline runs the same intangibles model across US, US small-cap, international and emerging-market funds.sec.gov
- Lands in the upper half of the active international value ETFs we cover, and it distributes quarterly.
Worth knowing
- A small fund that trades lightly, so spreads and market-order fills can be less friendly than at the category's heavyweights.
- No index to hold it to. Outcomes ride on the sub-adviser's proprietary model, and a 2024 launch leaves a short record to study.
- Cheaper neighbors exist in the same aisle: Avantis' AVIV at 0.25% and AVDV at 0.36% take a rules-based route to international value.
