DSTXCDistillate International Fundamental Stability & Value ETF

VDVBVanguard Developed Markets Ex-US Value Index ETF

In short

DSTX Value with a cash-flow lens: DSTX screens large non-US companies for stable cash flow and low debt, then owns the roughly 100 cheapest on free cash flow yield. Weighting follows cash generated, not market cap.

VDV No data

Stated mandate

DSTX The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Distillate International Fundamental Stability & Value Index.

VDV No data

Why people hold it

  • DSTX Value here means free cash flow yield measured against enterprise value, not price-to-book, with profitability, debt and cash-flow-stability screens applied first.distillatecapital.comdistillatecapital.com 2
  • Positions are weighted by free cash flow generation and rebalanced quarterly, so a holding's size tracks the cash it throws off rather than its market price.distillatecapital.com
  • Concentrated on purpose: about 100 large and mid-cap names from developed and emerging markets, with distributions paid quarterly.distillatecapital.com

VDV No data

Worth knowing

  • DSTX At 0.55%, it carries a higher fee than the typical international value fund; FIVA (0.18%) and EWJV (0.15%) run the same factor for a fraction of that.
  • One of the lighter-traded funds in its peer group, so the bid-ask spread matters more here than with the category's index heavyweights.
  • A manager's proprietary cash-flow model drives selection, and roughly 100 stocks can leave the portfolio looking little like a broad EAFE benchmark.distillatecapital.com
