DFSVAU.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio ETF Class Shares

RESMBColumbia Research Enhanced Small Cap 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.

RESM Columbia brought its Research Enhanced approach down to small caps in December 2025 and priced it like an index fund: 0.32% a year, cheaper than most active rivals in the category. The trade-off is everything that comes with a brand-new, tiny fund.

Stated mandate

DFSV The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

RESM The Fund pursues its objective by investing in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks.

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.
  • RESM Charges 0.32% a year, undercutting the typical actively managed US small-cap ETF and landing close to index-fund territory.
  • Actively managed, so security selection decides what it owns rather than straight replication of a small-cap benchmark.
  • The portfolio itself is the strongest part of the build, grading well on holdings quality within the active small-cap group.

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.
  • RESM Launched in December 2025. There is no long record to judge yet, and our read on it carries less confidence than for seasoned funds.
  • Assets are small and trading is thin, which can mean wider spreads than the established names in the category.
  • Top-graded peers such as AVUV, AVSC and FESM charge a touch less and have years of live history behind them.
