About DFAS

0Holdings Count: 2048
Expense Ratio: 0.26%
Inception Date: 1998-12-15
Dimensional - US Small Cap ETF
Employing a market-capitalization weighted methodology, this fund primarily seeks to acquire a wide-ranging and varied selection of equities issued by U.S. small-capitalization firms. Under its standard operating procedure, though not a fundamental policy, the fund typically allocates a minimum of 80% of its net assets to securities issued by small-capitalization U.S. enterprises. To manage its equity market exposure, the fund retains the flexibility to utilize derivative instruments, specifically futures contracts and options on futures contracts, pertaining to U.S. equity securities and indices. This is done to adjust for anticipated or actual cash movements into or out of the portfolio.
