DFSVAU.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio ETF Class Shares

In short

ACSV No data

DFSV Small-cap value, spread wide: roughly a thousand of the market's cheaper small companies, measured against the Russell 2000 Value Index. A deeper bench than most rivals carry, at a higher price than the plain index funds beside it.

Stated mandate

ACSV No data

DFSV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

ACSV No data

  • DFSV Roughly 1,000 holdings spread the small-value bet across the whole opportunity set instead of a handful of names.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting a position on or off is rarely the hard part.
  • Portfolio construction is the strong suit here: broad, diversified small-cap value exposure, with distributions paid quarterly.
  • The mandate is plainly stated: long-term capital appreciation from US stocks, no side quests.

Worth knowing

ACSV No data

  • DFSV At 0.30% a year it costs more than the typical US value ETF (median 0.18%), and VTWV runs against the same Russell 2000 Value benchmark for 0.06%.
  • Small-cap value is a bumpier corner than the large-cap value funds anchoring this group (VTV, SCHV), and the ride shows it.
  • Launched in 2022, so its live record is short next to the value funds it sits beside.
