Description: DFAS Dimensional U.S. Small Cap
The Dimensional U.S. Small Cap ETF (DFAS) is designed to track the performance of U.S. small-cap companies using a market capitalization weighted approach, ensuring a broad and diverse portfolio. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap U.S. companies, providing exposure to this specific market segment.
To manage cash flows and adjust its equity market exposure, the fund may utilize derivatives such as futures contracts and options on futures contracts for U.S. equity securities and indices. This strategy allows the fund to respond to actual or expected cash inflows and outflows, maintaining its investment objectives.
From a performance perspective, key metrics to consider include the funds expense ratio, tracking error, and Sharpe ratio. A lower expense ratio indicates lower costs for investors, while a lower tracking error suggests the fund is effectively mirroring its target index. The Sharpe ratio provides insight into the funds risk-adjusted returns, helping investors understand the returns they can expect relative to the risk taken.
Additional KPIs to evaluate the funds performance include its beta, which measures its volatility relative to the broader market, and its standard deviation, which indicates the funds overall risk level. The funds dividend yield and turnover rate are also important, as they can impact its income generation and tax efficiency. By examining these metrics, investors can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the funds potential benefits and risks.
