DYNF vs EBI

DYNFAiShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF

EBIALongview Advantage ETF

In short

DYNF Most factor funds make you pick a lane: value, momentum, quality. DYNF rotates across five styles instead, letting a factor model decide which one leads, and charges an index-fund-ish 0.26% to do it.

EBI A boutique take on the academic value-and-profitability playbook, with Dimensional alumni on the desk: an unconstrained all-cap US stock fund leaning toward cheaper, more profitable companies for 0.24% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026 (0.34% gross).

Stated mandate

DYNF The Fund seeks to outperform the U.S. equity market through diversified, tactical exposure to style factors using a factor rotation model.

EBI The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed investment approach.

Why people hold it

• DYNF Five style factors in one ticket (value, quality, momentum, growth, low volatility), reweighted by a rotation model rather than locked to a single tilt.
• 0.26% is well under half the median fee in its active US equity peer group, which is unusual pricing for a strategy with a human-supervised model behind it.
• A multi-billion-dollar fund and one of the more actively traded names in its category, so getting in and out rarely becomes the hard part. Pays quarterly.
• Running since 2019 under one of the biggest ETF shops, and it stands among the strongest overall implementations in the active US equity group we track.

• EBI Leans toward cheaper, more profitable companies: value measured by book/price, profitability by operating profits to book. Academic factors, run with active discretion, not an index.longviewresearchpartners.com
• 0.24% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026, and 0.34% gross. Below the category median and under DYNF's 0.26%, though above the Dimensional and Avantis cores.
• Owns well over a thousand US stocks, so no single name carries the fund.stockanalysis.com
• Cheap for its category, broadly diversified and steadily run: one of the stronger implementations in the active US equity crowd.

Worth knowing

• DYNF The yardstick isn't the S&P 500: it's a custom blend of 80% MSCI USA and 20% MSCI USA Minimum Volatility, so a low-vol tilt is baked into the benchmark itself.
• Active by design. The factor mix shifts, the book runs to a couple hundred stocks, and a rotation call can leave it out of step with a plain US market index fund.
• Cheap for active, not the cheapest shelf: systematic peers DFAU (0.12%), AVLC (0.15%), DFAC (0.17%) and FELC (0.18%) all undercut it on fee.

• EBI Launched in February 2025, so the track record is short and spans no full market cycle.
• The 0.24% price tag rests on a waiver through December 31, 2026; the gross fee is 0.34% if it lapses.
• Thinly traded next to the category's giants, and distributions land once or twice a year rather than monthly.
