DUSGAU.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio: ETF Class Shares

OSCVCOpus Small Cap Value Plus ETF

In short

DUSG A Dimensional small-cap growth strategy that finally got a ticker. DUSG is an exchange-traded share class of a portfolio running since 2012, screening small US companies for high profitability and cheaper relative price.

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

DUSG The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

OSCV The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • DUSG Not a startup fund with a launch-day portfolio. The underlying strategy has run since 2012, and the ETF class is a new door into the same book of stocks.businesswire.com
  • The screen does two jobs at once: small-cap growth companies, filtered for high profitability and lower relative price, instead of whatever the index says is popular.dimensional.com
  • 0.33% a year for a systematically managed factor strategy, sitting right around the middle of the multifactor pack rather than at the premium end.
  • Broad and diversified by design, holding a wide sweep of US small caps in a billion-dollar-plus portfolio, not a handful of high-conviction names.dimensional.com
  • 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

  • DUSG It trades thinly. Light volume can mean wider gaps between the bid and the ask than you get with the household-name index ETFs.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly. The stated job here is long-term capital appreciation, not a paycheck.
  • Fair pricing, not bargain pricing: broad US growth exposure in the same peer group costs far less (IUSG, 0.04%), minus the small-cap and profitability screens.
  • 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.
