DSTLCDistillate U.S. Fundamental Stability & Value ETF

VONVAVanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF

In short

DSTL Value, redefined by cash. DSTL screens large-cap America for low debt and steady cash flows, then buys the cheapest survivors on Distillate's normalized free-cash-flow measure rather than on P/E or book value.

VONV The plain-vanilla value trade, done cheap: about 900 large US value stocks, full replication of the Russell 1000 Value Index, 0.06% a year. No factor cocktail, no premium price tag, and one of the strongest implementations in its factor peer group.

Stated mandate

DSTL The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Distillate U.S. Fundamental Stability & Value Index.

VONV The fund seeks to track the Russell 1000 Value Index, representing large-capitalization value stocks in the United States. It uses passive indexing and full replication to remain closely aligned with that benchmark.

Why people hold it

  • DSTL Values companies on normalized free cash flow against enterprise value instead of P/E or book value, an approach aimed at a market full of intangible-heavy businesses.distillatecapital.com
  • Quality gate comes first: it starts from roughly 500 profitable large caps, then screens out high debt and unstable cash flows before valuation enters the picture.distillatecapital.com
  • Positions are weighted by free cash flow generation and rebalanced quarterly, so size follows cash produced rather than market cap. Distributions are paid quarterly.distillatecapital.com
  • Live since 2018 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so the process has a real record rather than a backtest.
  • VONV 0.06% a year, a fraction of the typical fee among factor ETFs. On a rules-based value index there is little room for cleverness, so cost does most of the work.vanguard.com
  • Full replication, not sampling: it owns the index's roughly 900 names and has stayed tightly aligned with the Russell 1000 Value benchmark since launching in 2010.
  • Same Russell benchmark as pricier rivals for less: the Goldman MarketBeta version (GVUS) charges 0.12% to track the identical value index.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, among the easiest in its group to get in and out of, and it distributes quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • DSTL At 0.39% it costs more than plain-vanilla value funds such as VONV (0.06%) and VYM (0.04%). You are paying for the cash-flow research.
  • The benchmark is Distillate's own index, so outcomes ride on one firm's proprietary cash-flow model rather than a widely used public rulebook.distillatecapital.com
  • Concentrated by design: a slim slice of the large-cap universe, weighted by cash flow, so sector mix can look very different from the S&P 500.distillatecapital.com
  • VONV One screen, one style. Value only, with no quality or momentum overlay, so the ride follows the value side of the market wherever it goes.vanguard.com
  • This is the entire value bucket, not a best-ideas portfolio. About 900 holdings means results hug the large-cap value category rather than stray from it.
  • Cheaper exists nearby: Vanguard's VYM charges 0.04%, but it screens for dividend yield, a different portfolio than a Russell value index.
