ETF Overview

The portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, is designed to purchase a broad and diverse group of the readily marketable securities of U.S. small cap companies that the Advisor determines to be value stocks. Under a market capitalization weighted approach, companies with higher market capitalizations generally represent a larger proportion of the portfolio than companies with relatively lower market capitalizations. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small cap U.S. companies.

DFSV aims to provide investors with exposure to U.S. small-cap value stocks. The fund employs a market capitalization weighted approach, meaning companies with larger market caps within the eligible universe will have a greater representation in the portfolio. DFSV invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund's top holdings include companies like BorgWarner Inc (0.83%), Ovintiv Inc (0.74%), and Webster Financial Corp (0.73%). DFSV's sector allocation is heavily weighted towards Financial Services (26.7%), followed by Industrials (16.0%), Consumer Cyclical (14.1%), and Energy (13.0%). This sector diversification provides exposure to various segments of the small-cap value market. The fund's investment strategy focuses on capturing the long-term potential of small-cap value stocks while maintaining a broad and diversified portfolio of 1015 holdings.

Risk Metrics

DFSV, with its focus on small-cap value stocks, carries inherent risks associated with this segment of the market. Small-cap stocks are generally more volatile than large-cap stocks, potentially leading to greater price fluctuations. The fund's beta of 1.18 indicates that it is more volatile than the overall market. While DFSV holds 1015 different stocks, the top 10 holdings account for approximately 7.32% of the portfolio, indicating some concentration risk. The fund's expense ratio of 0.30% will create a slight drag on performance over time. The heavy allocation to Financial Services (26.7%) and Industrials (16.0%) exposes the fund to sector-specific risks. Investors should be aware of these risks before investing in DFSV. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
