DFIV: Buying International Value Without Falling Into Value Traps

Dimensional International Value ETF offers systematic, active value exposure to ex-US developed markets, balancing valuation discounts with profitability screens. DFIV consistently outperforms passive international value ETFs, driven by active selection, smaller large-cap tilts, and avoidance of value traps. Holding periods must be multi-year to realize value; DFIV delivers stabilization against valuation risk, not volatility or global macro shocks.
