Our read on DWLD

ETF.net Research

BLive since 2017, DWLD is a stock picker's fund in ETF clothing: roughly 40 companies spanning the US, developed and emerging markets, hand-chosen in pursuit of long-term growth of capital, with no index in the driver's seat.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Roughly 40 names, not 4,000. Every holding has to earn its slot, so the portfolio looks genuinely different from a global index fund rather than shadowing one.
  2. 02One ticket covers the US, developed and emerging markets. The managers set the country mix themselves instead of inheriting whatever weights a benchmark hands them.
  3. 03The 0.63% fee sits right at the median for active global value funds, and undercuts stock-picking peers such as COPY and FPAG.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Systematic rivals like AVGV and SFGV run the global value idea for a slimmer fee. The gap is what human stock selection costs here.
  2. 02It trades lightly next to big index ETFs, so spreads can widen in fast markets. Limit orders are the standard fix.
  3. 03A concentrated active book cuts both ways: results can wander far from world-index returns, and the ride has been bumpier than most of its global value peer group.
