In this episode of What's the Risk we're joined by the CEO of Dimensional Australia, Bhanu Singh. This is our forth episode with Bhanu as we learn more about the "the biggest fund manager you've never heard of".

In this episode we delve into Dimensional's funds and ETFs in Australia. Firstly, understanding the dual access structure since Dimensional introduced ETFs into Australia in 2023. We then look closer at what Dimensional's Core funds and ETFs are, in terms of weightings and how the portfolios are managed considering profitability, size and value. Bhanu also notes how having different factors within one portfolio such as core can be a good starting point for investors, instead of building a portfolio with separate ETFs and potentially incurring greater costs due to turnover.

The ETFs discussed are DACE, DAVA, DFGH, DGCE, DGSM and DGVA.

Dimensional have a deep research pedigree. Their founders and board members were part of some of the biggest developments in modern finance. David Booth and Rex Sinquefield were part of various groups who developed the first index funds at Wells Fargo and American National Bank, before leaving to start DFA where they then started Dimensional to build the first microcap fund for institutions.
