Our read on DUSA
CA stock picker's fund in an aisle full of indexes: Davis runs a concentrated book of US large companies bought below its own estimate of what they're worth, and has done it in ETF form since 2017.
The Fund seeks long-term capital growth and capital preservation. It is actively managed and invests principally in U.S. equity securities, generally favoring large companies while using fundamental research to identify businesses trading below estimated intrinsic value.
Why people hold it
- Genuinely active, not index-shadowing: roughly two dozen US large companies chosen by fundamental research for trading below Davis's estimate of intrinsic value.
- The mandate names capital preservation next to long-term growth, with at least 80% of net assets normally in US company securities.
- Trading since January 2017 and running a few hundred million dollars, it is a seasoned active ETF rather than a fresh launch.
- Taken as a whole, it lands in the upper half of the US value cohort we track.
Worth knowing
- 0.59% a year is above the typical fund in its value cohort and several times what index-built rivals charge, such as WTV at 0.12% and AVLV at 0.15%.
- It trades thinly, so spreads can widen on larger orders or choppy days.
- With about two dozen names, single stocks move the fund, and results can part ways with broad value benchmarks for long stretches.
