DFLVADimensional US Large Cap Value ETF

TEQIBT. Rowe Price Equity Income 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.

TEQI A stock-picker's take on value: T. Rowe Price's equity income strategy in ETF form, hunting out-of-favor dividend payers. Roughly 120 names, quarterly payouts, measured against the Russell 1000 Value rather than cloning it.

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.

TEQI The fund seeks a high level of dividend income and long-term capital growth.

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.
  • TEQI Genuinely active. The stated job is a high level of dividend income plus long-term capital growth, run as a manageable book of roughly 120 stocks.
  • 0.54% a year sits mid-pack for active value, and undercuts several rivals judged against the same Russell 1000 Value benchmark.
  • Pays quarterly, has been trading since 2020, and lands in the stronger half of the active large-cap value group on our review.
  • Stays on its stated lane: a value portfolio that behaves like one, rather than a growth book wearing a value label.

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.
  • TEQI One of the quieter tickers in its category. Thin volume means the price you pay can drift from the value of what's inside.
  • You're paying for human judgment: systematic value funds like AVLV and WTV charge a fraction of 0.54%.
  • The income mandate is a goal, not a fixed rate. There's no declared target yield, and distributions can include return of capital.
