DYNFAiShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF

TIMEDClockwise U.S. Core Equity 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.

TIME A hand-run book of about 30 US stocks that can duck into cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs or covered calls when the manager wants less volatility. Active pricing: 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026.

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.

TIME The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

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.
  • TIME Concentrated on purpose: about 30 US names, so each pick carries real weight instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.
  • Defensive levers stay on the table. Cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs and covered calls are part of the toolkit, which plain core equity funds rarely touch.tradingview.com
  • Live since January 2022, so there is a multi-year record of real money under one adviser, not a backtest.
  • The adviser is absorbing part of the cost: 0.96% net versus 1.02% gross, with that waiver running through December 29, 2026.

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.
  • TIME Cost is the trade-off. 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026 (1.02% gross) is above the category median, next to systematic peers DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15%.
  • A small fund that trades thinly: spreads can run wide and a sizable order can move the price on its own.
  • The mandate has moved. It launched in 2022 around 5G and innovation themes and was renamed to U.S. Core Equity at the end of 2025, so its history spans different strategies.tradingview.com
