DFAC: The Tilt Is There, But It Is Not Enough
DFA Dimensional US Core Equity 2 ETF is rated Hold due to insufficient differentiation versus total-market ETFs and higher fees. DFAC's systematic active approach tilts toward smaller-cap, lower-valuation, and higher-profitability stocks but overlaps heavily with market-cap-weighted peers. Recent outperformance over DFUS is attributed to temporary market factors, not sustainable structural advantages.
