DYNF vs ROE

DYNFAiShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF

ROEBAstoria US Equal Weight Quality Kings 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.

ROE In most US quality funds, a few mega-caps run the show. Quality Kings screens American companies for quality and value, then weights what survives equally, so the screen picks the portfolio instead of market cap.

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.

ROE The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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.

• ROE Costs 0.49% a year, under the median for active US equity funds. Active screening at a price closer to plain-vanilla strategy funds.
• Equal weighting gives every holding the same starting slug, so one giant name can't quietly become the whole fund.
• Pairs a quality screen with a value screen, which keeps a hunt for profitable companies from turning into a basket of expensive ones.
• The portfolio build is the strongest piece here, and the fund sits in the upper tier of a large field of active US stock funds.

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.

• ROE Trades thinly next to the heavyweights in its category. Limit orders and avoiding the opening bell matter more here than in a mega-fund.
• Broad rivals cost far less: DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15%. The extra fee buys the screen and the equal weighting, not broader coverage.
• Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. Equal weighting also means far less exposure to the largest US companies than a cap-weighted fund.
