DSTL offers a diversified, defensive large-cap value portfolio, with modest top holding weights and sector allocations favoring quality and stability. Recent performance shows DSTL's resilience, with lower volatility and less drawdown compared to the S&P 500, despite some recent underperformance. Macroeconomic risks—slowing growth, labor market weakness, and higher inflation—support a defensive, value-oriented approach in the near term.
Distillate US Fundamental Stability & Value ETF (DSTL) focuses on strong balance sheets, stable cash flows, and attractive valuations, offering downside protection but mixed performance in risk-on environments. DSTL is well-positioned for defensive exposure with significant allocations to healthcare and industrials, while underweight in technology and financial services, reflecting a value-oriented strategy. The fund trades at a substantial valuation discount to the Russell 1000, driven by lower exposure to high-multiple sectors like technology.
Distillate U.S. Fundamental Stability & Value ETF holds 100 stocks with a focus on free cash flow and low debt. DSTL features attractive valuation metrics, high dividend growth rate and good performance compared to competitors. DSTL is a compelling equity ETF for investors willing to avoid concentration in the tech industry and mega-caps.
