DFLVADimensional US Large Cap Value ETF

LSVDBLSV Disciplined 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.

LSVD An institutional quant value shop's process in an ETF wrapper: a model built on fundamental value measures picks the stocks, the fee sits under the active-value norm, and the yardstick is the S&P 500 rather than a 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.

LSVD The Fund seeks long-term capital growth. It is an actively managed ETF that invests at least 80% of net assets in equity securities and uses a quantitative model based on fundamental value measures.

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.
  • LSVD Charges 0.40% a year, below the typical active US value ETF, which is unusual for a fund where a proprietary model, not an index, picks the names.
  • Measures itself against the S&P 500, not a value index. You can see whether the value tilt is earning its keep against the plain broad market.
  • The mandate is tight: at least 80% of net assets in equities, selected by a quantitative model built on fundamental value measures. Not much room for style drift.
  • Cheaper than other active funds benchmarked to the same S&P 500, including GSPY at 0.50% and VNSE at 1.34%.

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.
  • LSVD Thinly traded. Spreads and limit orders matter more here than with the category's household names.
  • Launched in December 2024, so there is no long live record to judge the model across a full market cycle.
  • Systematic value rivals run cheaper, with AVLV at 0.15% and DFLV at 0.21%, so this model carries a wider cost gap to close.
