The DFA Dimensional International Core Equity Market ETF (DFAI) provides broad, low-cost, actively managed exposure to developed markets outside the US, focusing on fundamental factors. Since its launch in November 2020, DFAI has outperformed its benchmark but lags behind competitors IVLU and FNDF in total and risk-adjusted returns. The ETF is notable for its low expense ratio and high dividend growth, though investors might consider competitors for stronger historical performance.
