Dimensional Fund Advisors, colloquially known as DFA, is no stranger to financial advisors, and the investment management firm will have new ways to reach them as it enters the world of exchange-traded funds.

The Austin, Texas-based company today said it expects its first two products in this space—the Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF (DFAU) and Dimensional International Core Equity Market ETF (DFAI)—to be listed on NYSE Arca as of tomorrow. In addition, it anticipates launching the Dimensional Emerging Core Equity Market ETF in December.

Beyond that, the company announced it plans to launch six new actively managed, fully transparent ETFs and convert six tax-managed mutual funds into those new ETFs in 2021.

Dimensional is a factor-investing shop that devises multifactor strategies influenced by the research of economists Eugene Fama and Kenneth French. Its underlying approach isolates so-called dimensions, or factors—such as small capitalization, lower valuations and higher profitability—it believes can create market outperformance over the long haul. That approach has lagged during the past decade or so as large-cap growth companies have collectively been the market’s outperformers.

Nonetheless, the company has built a very loyal following among many financial advisors who invest client money in Dimensional’s mutual funds, separate accounts and commingled trusts. The company said it managed $527 billion globally through this year’s third quarter.

While the company is rolling out its first self-branded ETFs, it already has a presence in the ETF space. Dimensional has collaborated with John Hancock since 2006 to manage some of that firm’s mutual funds, and that relationship expanded in 2015 when John Hancock launched the first of what are now 15 multifactor ETFs based on Dimensional indexes emphasizing the size, value and profitability factors.

Regarding the funds that will be listed for trading on Wednesday, the Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF will have a net expense ratio of 0.12% and the Dimensional International Core Equity Market ETF will charge a fee of 0.18%.

And looking ahead to next year, Dimensional said the planned conversion of the six existing mutual funds into ETFs is expected to trim the management fees on these products by 27% on average from current levels on an asset-weighted basis. The company said the structure of the conversion will be a tax-free event where each investor’s mutual fund shares will convert to ETF shares.

The conversion will involve the following products:

• Tax-Managed US Equity Portfolio mutual fund (management fee of 18 basis points) into the Dimensional US Equity ETF (management fee of 18 basis points)

• Tax-Managed US Small Cap Portfolio (40 b.p.) into the Dimensional US Small Cap ETF (30 b.p.)

• Tax-Managed US Targeted Value Portfolio (40 b.p.) into the Dimensional US Targeted Value ETF (30 b.p.)

• TA US Core Equity 2 Portfolio (20 b.p.) into the Dimensional US Core Equity 2 ETF (16 b.p.)

• Tax-Managed International Value Portfolio (45 b.p.) into the Dimensional International Value ETF (30 b.p.)

• TA World ex US Core Equity Portfolio (30 b.p.) into the Dimensional World ex US Core Equity 2 ETF (25 b.p.)
