Our read on DWLD

ETF.net Research

In short

COld-school stockpicking in an ETF shell. Since January 2017 Davis has run a concentrated global book, about 40 names across US, developed and emerging markets, bought at discounts to its own estimate of value. Fee: 0.62%, no waiver.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Why people hold it

  • Genuinely active: roughly 40 stocks spanning US, developed and emerging markets, with no market-cap limits, so the portfolio can look nothing like a global index.sec.gov
  • Patient by design: the prospectus describes buying below estimated intrinsic value and selling on valuation or thesis change, and reported turnover has been low.sec.govsec.gov 2
  • The 0.62% fee sits near the category median and rests on no waiver, unlike SFGV at 0.33% net of a waiver through March 31, 2027, which can reset when that ends.
  • Trading since January 2017, so there is a long run of live results to inspect rather than a backtest.stockanalysis.com

Worth knowing

  • Cheaper global value exists: AVGV charges 0.26% and FEGE 0.50% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026. Here you pay up for the stockpicking.
  • It trades thinly, so spreads can widen; limit orders do more work here than in a mega-cap index fund.
  • About 40 holdings and no index to hug means single names carry real weight and results can diverge widely from a global benchmark.sec.gov
