DFVXADimensional US Large Cap Vector ETF

WTVAWisdomTree U.S. Value Fund

In short

DFVX Dimensional's value playbook with the dial turned up: roughly 300 large-cap US stocks, leaning toward the cheaper, more profitable, smaller end of the field. 0.18% net of a waiver through February 28, 2027.

WTV Most value funds shop for low price tags. WTV shops for cash coming back to shareholders: dividends plus net buybacks, filtered for quality and profitability. Actively run, priced like an index fund at 0.12%.

Stated mandate

DFVX The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

WTV The fund seeks income and capital appreciation through primarily U.S. equities selected for high total shareholder yield and favorable relative quality characteristics.

Why people hold it

  • DFVX Costs 0.18% net of a waiver through February 28, 2027 (0.19% gross), below the category median and under sibling DFLV at 0.21%.
  • No fixed index to hug. The prospectus lets managers overweight or underweight eligible names on market cap, relative price and profitability.sec.gov
  • Roughly 300 holdings, with the prospectus design spreading risk across companies and sectors rather than concentrating in a handful of cheap bets.sec.gov
  • Stands in the top quartile of a crowded US value field on our review, one of the stronger builds among dozens of rivals.
  • WTV Charges 0.12% a year, under a quarter of the 0.55% typical for active US value funds, and less than every same-benchmark rival in its group (JAVA 0.44%, CGVV 0.33%, TEQI 0.54%).
  • "Value" here means cash returned: dividend yield plus net buyback yield, with quality and profitability screens, rather than a plain low price-to-book sort.wisdomtree.com
  • About 160 US stocks, a multi-billion-dollar asset base, and a live track record dating to 2007. Distributions land quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DFVX The tilts cut both ways: a basket skewed smaller and cheaper can move well apart from the S&P 500 in either direction.sec.gov
  • Trades lightly next to the category's giants, so limit orders and a glance at the spread are worth the extra click.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. Income shows up quarterly, not monthly.
  • WTV Full equity with no downside cushion, and a value tilt that can lean into a handful of sectors. Risk is the least polished part of the profile.
  • Rules-based active, not an index tracker, so results can diverge from the Russell 1000 Value in either direction.
  • Buybacks supply much of the shareholder yield, and companies can scale repurchases back more easily than they cut dividends.wisdomtree.com
