Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DFACADimensional US Core Equity 2 ETF

OALCBOneAscent Large Cap Core ETF

In short

DFAC Dimensional's whole-market workhorse: roughly 2,600 US stocks in one ticker, run by managers who weigh federal tax consequences before they trade, at a fee closer to index funds than to active ones.

OALC A values-screened cousin of the S&P 500. OneAscent cuts abortifacients, addictive products, predatory lenders and human-rights offenders, then optimizes what's left to stay close to the index. Faith-based filter, plain core shape.

Stated mandate

DFAC The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation while considering federal income-tax implications in its investment decisions.

OALC The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • DFAC 0.17% a year for an actively run fund, well under the median fee among active US equity ETFs.
  • About 2,600 US stocks under one ticker, so it holds the market broadly rather than a narrow slice of it.
  • Federal income-tax implications sit inside the stated objective, not in a footnote, so they factor into what managers buy and sell.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund with a track record running back to 2007 and one of the strongest implementations in its peer group.
  • OALC 0.49% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026 (0.58% gross), below the category median fee, which is unusual for a screened, actively managed portfolio.
  • The exclusion list lives in the prospectus: abortifacients, adult entertainment, gambling, tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, predatory lending, human rights violations.sec.gov
  • Core shape, not a statement piece: US large caps above $5 billion at purchase, at least 80% of assets there, optimized to keep the gap to the target index small.sec.govoneascent.com
  • Trading since 2021 and now a few hundred million dollars in size, so there is real operating history here, not a launch-week story.

Worth knowing

  • DFAC Actively managed, so there's no published index to check it against. Holdings and tilts shift at the managers' discretion.
  • Dimensional's own DFAU runs a US core equity mandate for 0.12%, a slightly lighter fee for a similar shelf.
  • All stocks, all US: the mandate is capital appreciation from equities, so it takes the market's full swings, and cash arrives quarterly.
  • OALC Unscreened core beta is cheaper: AVLC charges 0.15%, and TACU's fee is waived to zero through January 30, 2027. The screen is what the extra buys.
  • Thinly traded next to the giant large-cap funds, so bid-ask spreads can run wider and larger orders can move the price.
  • Dropping whole industries means it will not mirror the index name for name, and the optimization can land results ahead of or behind the benchmark in any stretch.sec.govoneascent.com
