DYNF: Low Cost Active Factor ETF Now Outperforming The S&P 500 Index

DYNF is an actively managed factor rotation ETF with a 0.26% expense ratio and $31B in assets under management. Factor emphasis is assigned based on the perceived economic regime. Currently, DYNF appears in the "expansion phase" of the economic cycle, where momentum and growth are favored. However, it's not an "all-or-nothing" system.
