COROBiShares International Country Rotation Active ETF

DFICADimensional International Core Equity 2 ETF

In short

CORO Most active international funds pick stocks. CORO picks countries: BlackRock's model team rotates a basket of iShares single-country funds, for 0.55% net of a waiver through June 30, 2027.

DFIC No data

Stated mandate

CORO The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

CORO Country calls instead of stock calls. Four long/short rotations (emerging, developed, all-country, regional), each with its own signal suite, drive the tilts across iShares country funds.ishares.com
Run by BlackRock's Model Portfolio Solutions team and designed from day one as a model building block, so the asset-allocation machinery behind it is the institutional kind.businesswire.com ishares.com
Launched in December 2024 and already a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, which is uncommon shelf presence for a strategy this young.
What's under the hood is plain: roughly two dozen index country funds, developed and emerging, with cash paid out quarterly.

DFIC No data

Worth knowing

CORO The sticker is 0.55% net of a waiver through June 30, 2027; gross runs 1.06% because the country funds inside charge their own fees on top of the management fee.
Index-style international peers ask less: DFIC at 0.22%, AVDE at 0.23%. TACN charges no fee at all, waived through January 30, 2027.
Active country tilts mean the country mix can look nothing like a broad international index, and with a December 2024 start the live record is still short.
