Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DFLVADimensional US Large Cap Value ETF

ESLVBEventide Large Cap Value ETF

In short

DFLV Dimensional's value playbook in an ETF wrapper: large-cap value that also screens for profitability, spread across roughly 300 names, run by research rather than an index. Active by design, index-fund cheap in practice.

ESLV Faith-based investing usually means a big detour from the benchmark. Eventide screens US large-cap value names on ethics, then rebuilds the book to hug the Bloomberg U.S. 1000 Value index.

Stated mandate

DFLV The ETF seeks long-term capital appreciation. Its investment approach combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading, emphasizing long-term expected-return drivers and broad diversification.

ESLV The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It actively manages a long-only portfolio focused primarily on U.S. large-capitalization companies with value characteristics, applies values-based screening, and seeks to limit tracking error to the Bloomberg U.S. 1000 Value Total Return Index.

Why people hold it

  • DFLV Costs 0.21% a year, well under half the 0.55% median for US value funds in its peer group. Active management without the active price tag.
  • Cheap alone doesn't get you in. The portfolio screens on value and profitability together, a filter aimed at cut-rate stocks that actually earn money.
  • No index to shadow. Dimensional can trade on its own schedule and spreads the money across about 300 large-cap names instead of a handful of bets.
  • Sits in the top tier of the US value funds we grade, and it is a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.
  • ESLV Charges 0.39% a year, under the roughly 0.54% median for active US value ETFs.
  • Screen first (Eventide's review of 50-plus ethical issues), then rebuild systematically to limit tracking error to the Bloomberg U.S. 1000 Value index.eventideinvestments.com
  • Eventide has built faith-based portfolios since 2008, so the ethics engine is house infrastructure, not a label on a generic value sleeve.prnewswire.comeventideinvestments.com
  • Plain plumbing: long-only US large-cap value stocks, no derivatives sideshow, cash paid out quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DFLV Not the cheapest seat in the room: AVLV and SEIV run 0.15%, WTV 0.12%. You're paying a bit more for Dimensional's process.
  • Being benchmark-free cuts both ways. With no index to measure against, there is no tracking-error scoreboard, and outcomes ride on the manager's judgment.
  • Launched in December 2022, so the ETF's own record is short, and a value tilt behaves differently from the broad market. It pays quarterly.
  • ESLV Launched in 2025, so the live record is short and the screen's effect versus a standard value index has not seen a full cycle.
  • Trades far less than the category's index-tracking heavyweights, which can mean wider spreads at the moment of execution.
  • If the ethics screen is not the point, cheaper systematic value exists: AVLV at 0.15%, DFLV at 0.21%.
