DFLV: Why Dimensional's Large Cap Value ETF Disappoints

DFLV seeks to outperform the Russell 1000 Value Index by better emphasizing value and profitability. The ETF launched on December 6, 2022, and has a 0.22% expense ratio. Its track record is short, but DFLV's 32.97% total return is only slightly ahead of its benchmark. Others ETFs, including AVLV, FELV, and especially SEIV, outperformed. While past performance does not predict future results, DFLV's factor mix is underwhelming compared to the peers above. Its 14.87x forward P/E ratio stands out, but that's about it.
