Dimensional Expands Suite with Seven New ETFs
Dimensional Fund Advisors, a global leader in systematic investing, continues to expand its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offering with seven new ETFs, including today’s listings of its Ultrashort Fixed Income ETF (NYSE Arca: DUSB) and World Equity ETF (NYSE Arca: DFAW). Built on Dimensional’s rules-based, systematic investing process, these funds join the recently launched US Core Equity 1 ETF and the forthcoming launches of three global fixed income ETFs and a US Large Cap Vector ETF.
Dimensional’s full ETF suite is expected to total 38 funds across global equities, fixed income, and real estate at year end. The firm currently manages approximately $100 billion in ETF assets and has seen meaningful adoption of its ETF lineup.
“We continue to evolve our investment offering to meet demand from financial professionals and add value,” said Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer Gerard O’Reilly. “These ETFs are another set of tools in Dimensional’s growing lineup, which we expect will meet diverse investor needs across asset classes and geographies.”
Dimensional continues to expand its offering of evidence-based mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts (SMAs) in line with demand. Today’s newly listed and upcoming ETFs reflect Dimensional’s ongoing dialogue with advisors and institutions, and the firm’s desire to provide these professionals with increased choice in the tools they use to serve end investors’ financial needs.
“We are pleased to see broad professional use of Dimensional’s systematic, transparent ETFs,” said Dave Butler, Dimensional Co-CEO. “We believe a rules-based investment approach can help deliver a more reliable and smoother markets experience for investors and can help to better address a variety of portfolio goals and aspirations.”
