Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DFICADimensional International Core Equity 2 ETF

TDICTouchstone Dynamic International ETF

In short

DFIC No data

TDI An active international fund that skips price targets. Los Angeles Capital's quant model reads which company traits investors are rewarding right now and rebuilds the portfolio around them, typically monthly.

Stated mandate

DFIC No data

TDI The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies outside the United States.

Why people hold it

DFIC No data

TDI No price targets. The model forecasts which traits (earnings quality, balance-sheet strength) investors currently favor, then rebalances toward them, typically monthly.sec.gov
One passport, both halves of the world outside the US: at least 80% in non-US equities, developed and emerging, with room for depositary receipts, preferred stock and REITs.sec.gov
0.65% net of a waiver through April 29, 2027, against a 1.04% gross fee, so the waiver is doing real work while it runs.
Fully transparent active: holdings post daily, no shielded portfolio. The strategy moved into the ETF wrapper in December 2023, when Touchstone converted a predecessor mutual fund.westernsouthern.com

Worth knowing

DFIC No data

TDI Costs sit above the category median. Broad core peers DFIC (0.22%) and AVDE (0.23%) cover international for a fraction, and TACN's fee is waived to zero through January 30, 2027.
When the waiver ends April 29, 2027, the stated gross fee is 1.04% unless Touchstone extends it.
Monthly rebalancing means real turnover, worth knowing in a taxable account, and payouts come on an annual schedule rather than quarterly.sec.gov westernsouthern.com
