DFSVAU.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio ETF Class Shares

OSCVCOpus Small Cap Value Plus ETF

In short

DFSV Small-cap value, spread wide: roughly a thousand of the market's cheaper small companies, measured against the Russell 2000 Value Index. A deeper bench than most rivals carry, at a higher price than the plain index funds beside it.

OSCV Small-cap value with a filter. OSCV screens for yield plus growth and momentum rather than scooping up whatever is cheapest, and it has run that way since 2018 inside a peer group dominated by giant large-cap index trackers.

Stated mandate

DFSV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

OSCV The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • DFSV Roughly 1,000 holdings spread the small-value bet across the whole opportunity set instead of a handful of names.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so getting a position on or off is rarely the hard part.
  • Portfolio construction is the strong suit here: broad, diversified small-cap value exposure, with distributions paid quarterly.
  • The mandate is plainly stated: long-term capital appreciation from US stocks, no side quests.
  • OSCV The 'Plus' is the point: an advertised yield-plus-growth screen with momentum layered on, so cheapness alone does not get a stock into the portfolio.
  • Live since 2018, with a plainly stated prospectus objective (capital appreciation) and a portfolio that stays close to the strategy it advertises.
  • Small-cap equity exposure, paid out on a quarterly cadence, in a corner of the market most funds in this factor group barely touch.

Worth knowing

  • DFSV At 0.30% a year it costs more than the typical US value ETF (median 0.18%), and VTWV runs against the same Russell 2000 Value benchmark for 0.06%.
  • Small-cap value is a bumpier corner than the large-cap value funds anchoring this group (VTV, SCHV), and the ride shows it.
  • Launched in 2022, so its live record is short next to the value funds it sits beside.
  • OSCV Active management costs: 0.79% a year, while the index-built names near the top of this peer group charge single-digit basis points (VYM 0.04%, VONV 0.06%).
  • Small caps move harder in both directions than the large-cap blend funds it gets measured against, so expect a bumpier ride than the category average.
  • Trades at moderate volume rather than mega-fund volume. Limit orders and market hours matter more here than with the household-name index ETFs.
