Which ETFs does DVBA double up with most?

If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Schroder Real Return Active ETF (GROW) at 0.69% and VanEck Core+ Diversified High Growth Active ETF (VHGR) at 0.39% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.24% for DVBA.

Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for DVBA; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.19% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
