Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Large-cap value finally had its year — and DFLV's +30% shows what Dimensional's implementation adds: buy the cheap half of large caps, but screen for profitability so the portfolio holds Berkshire and JPMorgan rather than melting ice cubes. The systematic rebalancing into weakness is the firm's signature edge over static value indexes like IWD.
Who It's For
Value investors who want the discipline institutionalised — cheapness plus profitability, rebalanced relentlessly. The large-cap anchor of a Dimensional factor portfolio.
