Dimensional US Vector Equity ETF

Dimensional US Vector Equity ETF (DXUV) is an actively managed fund that owned about 2,042 US stocks of all sizes as of July 31, 2026. Compared with the overall market, it puts much more weight on smaller companies, cheaper "value" companies and more profitable companies. Its 0.25% expense ratio is higher than most similar funds, including Dimensional's own DFAC at 0.17%. The fund has only been trading since September 2024.

• Over the year to Oct 27, 2026, DXUV returned +16.8%, 3rd of 9 among similar funds.
• Its worst full calendar year was 2025 (+14.3%); its best was 2025 (+14.3%).
• The deepest fall in its price history was 21.1% (Dec 4, 2024 to Apr 8, 2025), recovered by Jul 10, 2025.

As of Jul 31, 2026, the fund held 2,042 securities; the ten largest made up 23.01% of assets. It also reported 4.1% in a money-market fund, most likely cash collateral from lending out shares rather than uninvested money.

By sector

• Over the three months to Jul 31, 2026, investors added a net $126.4M (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
• Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: +3.23%, +0.53%, +2.27%.

DXUV does not track an index. Its manager, Dimensional Fund Advisors, starts with a universe of US-listed companies, weighted by market value, so bigger companies count for more. It then moves the portfolio strongly toward three kinds of stocks: smaller companies, value stocks (stocks with a low price compared with book value, which is a company's net worth on its balance sheet) and companies with high operating profits compared with their book value or assets. It does this by holding less of large, expensive or less profitable companies, or by not buying them at all.

The manager can also raise, lower or drop a holding for shorter-term reasons. These include price momentum (whether a stock has been rising or falling), short-term reversals and how fast a company's assets are growing. The prospectus does not set a fixed rebalancing date. Instead, trading is meant to keep costs and turnover low, and portfolio turnover was 7%.

Under normal conditions, at least 80% of net assets go into US company stocks. The fund may use futures and options on futures to manage cash coming in or going out, and it lends out shares to earn extra income. Because it starts from market value, the biggest companies still lead. As of July 31, 2026, Microsoft was 4.8%, Nvidia 4.5% and Apple 4.3%, and the top ten made up about 23% of the fund. The 4.1% held in cash appears to be mostly collateral from that share lending.

• DXUV charges 0.25% a year, versus an average of 0.14% for the similar funds below (8th of 9, cheapest first).
• Of that, 0.2% is the management fee; the rest covers other fund expenses.
• The fee includes a 0.03% waiver from the adviser, which may end.
• Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $26 in the first year and $353 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

It holds about 2,042 US stocks across all sizes and sectors, so it can serve as a broad stock fund that leans toward smaller, value and more profitable companies.

DXUV can provide broad US stock exposure with a deliberate lean toward smaller, cheaper and more profitable companies. Its record is short. It launched in September 2024, so it has no history in the 2008 crisis, the 2020 COVID crash or the 2022 bear market. Its only full calendar year, 2025, returned 14.3%. Its deepest drop was 21.1%, from December 4, 2024 to April 8, 2025. It got back to its old high by July 10, 2025, about three months later. Anyone who sold shares for spending near the bottom would have locked in those losses. Income is small: the yield over the past 12 months was 0.96% as of October 27, 2026, paid quarterly. In the SEC's standard $10,000 example, costs come to $26 after one year and $353 after 10 years. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
