Our read on FNDF
BMost developed-international index funds rank companies by market price. FNDF ranks them by fundamental business size and rebalances back to it, a contrarian, value-leaning route through roughly 900 of the same stocks.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index representing large companies from developed markets outside the United States, weighted according to fundamental size.
Why people hold it
- Weights companies by fundamental size rather than share price, so each rebalance trims what the market has bid up and tops up what it has marked down.schwabassetmanagement.com
- Roughly 900 large companies from developed markets outside the US, so the value tilt arrives with broad diversification instead of a narrow bet.
- Running since 2013 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, with a tight record of doing exactly what its RAFI index mandate says.
Worth knowing
- At 0.25%, it runs above the developed-international median of 0.18% and well above plain cap-weighted rivals VEA, SCHF and SPDW at 0.03%.
- Because weights ignore market price, results diverge from cap-weighted developed benchmarks in both directions. The value tilt is the design, not a glitch.schwabassetmanagement.com
- Distributions land on an annual or semiannual schedule, so the cash flow is lumpier than a monthly payer.
