Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DFICADimensional International Core Equity 2 ETF

TILCBThrivent International Large Cap ETF

In short

DFIC No data

TILC Thrivent's read on the developed world outside the US: an active, roughly 300-stock portfolio chosen by one model that weighs value, growth and momentum together, priced under the typical active international fund.

Stated mandate

DFIC No data

TILC The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

DFIC No data

TILC Costs 0.52% a year, below the median for actively managed international equity ETFs. Cheap-ish active, not boutique pricing.
One model, three lenses. The manager screens developed-market large caps on value, growth and momentum instead of hitching the fund to a single style.
Roughly 300 names, with at least 65% of assets in issuers from international developed markets. Broad by design, so no single holding carries the mandate.
Sits in the upper half of the active international equity funds we review, with diversification and a contained risk profile doing the heavy lifting.

Worth knowing

DFIC No data

TILC Systematic rivals undercut it on fee: DFIC and AVDE run near 0.22% to 0.23%. You are paying up for Thrivent's factor model and stock picking.
Trading is thin next to the category's household names, which usually means wider spreads at the moment you transact.
Live history is short, so there is less track record to judge than the strategy's longer lineage suggests.
