Barry Ritholtz Master In Business: Guest DFA's David Booth
A recent platform change at USAA Marketplace now offers DFA funds (TF).
Does anyone have a set of favorite Dimensional Funds?
A DFA fund with an interesting focus and a very spicy ticker symbol is DFUKX. United Kingdom Small Cap Fund which I think might be an interesting way to get exposure to a niche market in the European sector.
"Vanguard is a first generation of index funds. DFA is a second generation of index funds that the industry calls quantitatively active or smart index funds. Remember, to get the tilt toward value and small cap funds, there are significant gaps in the Vanguard strategy."
