Weights shift over time; the interactive section below tracks the current mix.
DFAC is the factor fund for people who do not want their portfolio to look weird. It starts from the whole US market and leans toward value, profitability, and smaller size instead of sorting hard on any of them, so tracking error against a plain index fund stays modest. The 2021 mutual-fund conversion means the strategy's record is much longer than the ETF's inception date suggests. The 0.17% fee buys a moderate tilt; whether that tilt pays is the factor-investing question, and the answer arrives over decades, not quarters.
