DFAU: A Broad Exposure ETF Highly Correlated With The Russell 3000 Index
Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF offers broad exposure to U.S. equities, closely tracking the Russell 3000 index with a slight mid-cap bias. DFAU's valuation metrics are slightly lower than the benchmark, driven by underweight positions in high-multiple sectors like real estate and certain tech stocks. The fund's performance has aligned closely with the Russell 3000, benefiting from significant mega-cap exposure.

DFAU: When Diversification Becomes A Problem, Not A Solution
DFAU is a diversified ETF tracking the Russell 3000 with a low expense ratio and high concentration in tech, finance, healthcare, and consumer cyclical sectors. Diversification is important for risk mitigation, but can limit upside potential in a portfolio, as seen with DFAU's broad market exposure. Periodic rebalancing based on market trends can help generate alpha in a diversified portfolio, while still allowing for sector-specific investments to capture potential returns.
