Actively managed emerging-markets stock ETF
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Dimensional Emerging Core Equity Market ETF held 6,348 positions with $8.86B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 28.9% of the fund. The DFAE share class costs 0.29% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, DFAE returned 51.3%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q3 it added 270 new positions and exited 306.
The investment objective of the Dimensional Emerging Core Equity Market ETF (the Emerging Markets Core ETF or Portfolio) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
The fund purchases a broad, market-capitalization-weighted portfolio of emerging-market equities while tilting modestly toward smaller-capitalization, lower-price, and higher-profitability companies relative to their weight in the broader emerging-markets universe. The manager adjusts these positions based on shorter-term factors including price momentum and trading costs. Because the fund's holdings and their weights will shift as the manager applies these discretionary adjustments, performance may diverge from a static emerging-markets benchmark.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 22.55%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
