help Dimensional International Core Equity Market ETF (DFAI) FAQ

Is DFAI a U.S. stock ETF or an international ETF?

DFAI is the Dimensional International Core Equity Market ETF, so it is designed for international equity exposure rather than a portfolio limited to U.S. companies. The catalog description calling it a U.S. core equity fund does not match the DFAI ticker name.

What does DFAI invest in?

It seeks broad exposure to international large- and mid-capitalization companies selected through Dimensional's investment process. Dimensional's ETF guide lists DFAI as having an inception date of November 17, 2020.

Is DFAI the same as an S&P 500 index fund?

No. An S&P 500 fund focuses on roughly 500 large U.S. companies, while DFAI is intended to represent core equity markets outside the United States and can hold thousands of companies.

What should an investor check before buying DFAI?

The important checks are country exposure, currency risk, overlap with existing international funds, trading liquidity, and the current expense ratio. Dimensional's published guide has listed DFAI at a 0.18% gross and net expense ratio, but fund documents should be checked for the current figure.
