Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

DFLVADimensional US Large Cap Value ETF

GMOVBGMO US 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.

GMOV GMO's quant value playbook in an ETF wrapper: proprietary models and relative valuation analysis picking US stocks, priced below the typical active value fund. Launched in late 2024, so the live record is still short.

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.

GMOV The Fund seeks total return through an actively managed strategy focused primarily on U.S. equities. GMO applies proprietary quantitative methods and relative valuation analysis to select securities it believes have attractive return potential.

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.
  • GMOV Genuinely active, not an index in disguise: GMO uses proprietary quantitative methods and relative valuation to pick US equities it sees as attractively priced.
  • At 0.50%, it undercuts the median fee in its active US value cohort, which is unusual for a boutique manager's first-generation ETF.
  • Sits in the upper half of dozens of active US value ETFs, with one of the milder risk profiles measured in the group.
  • Pays on a quarterly schedule, the standard rhythm for a US equity fund.

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.
  • GMOV Thinly traded and modest in size, so spreads can be wide. Limit orders matter more here than with a mega-fund.
  • Systematic value rivals cost far less: AVLV and SEIV run 0.15%, DFLV 0.21%. You are paying up for human-plus-model stock selection.
  • Live since October 2024, so risk and behavior can only be read off about a year of trading, not a full cycle.
