DUSA: Value, Low Volatility Exposure To Weigh On Returns, Hold Rating Maintained
I maintain a neutral stance on the Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF, expecting it to underperform IVV for the rest of 2026. DUSA has modestly outperformed IVV year-to-date despite its low-beta, high-EY portfolio, which I expected to restrain upside capture. Nevertheless, I still anticipate the growth and GARP factors to retake leadership from low volatility and value.
DUSA: Defending The Neutral Stance Despite Recent Outperformance
Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF retains a Hold rating, as its growth-light factor mix and soft past performance do not support an upgrade. DUSA's portfolio is underweight in growth and GARP factors, while overweight in low volatility and value, limiting its upside potential versus IVV amid de-escalation. Despite the YTD outperformance, DUSA's total return since inception in 2017 is still approximately 60% weaker than IVV's.

Products and Services
- Equity Securities of U.S. Companies
This core investment focus involves the fund allocating the majority of its resources, specifically at least 80% of its net assets plus any potential leverage from borrowing, into equity securities. These equities are issued by companies based in the United States, spanning a variety of industries. This forms the cornerstone of the fund's investment philosophy and portfolio composition.
- Investment in Financial Services Companies
A portion of the fund’s assets may be strategically invested in companies within the financial services sector. This diversified approach allows the fund to potentially benefit from the sector's dynamic nature and its critical role in the economy. However, the specific portion allocated to this sector is subject to the fund manager's discretion and analysis of current market conditions.
- Mid- and Small-Capitalization Company Investments
The fund expresses a particular interest in mid- and small-cap companies, which are defined as those having a market capitalization of less than $10 billion. This dimension of the fund's strategy provides investors with exposure to the growth potential inherent in smaller companies, which may offer higher returns albeit with increased risk.
- Non-U.S. Company Investments
While primarily focused on U.S. equities, the fund also maintains a flexible stance allowing up to 20% of its net assets to be invested in companies outside of the United States. This segment of the fund’s portfolio aims to capture the growth potential and diversification benefits offered by international markets, enhancing the potential for improved risk-adjusted returns.
