About DFSTX

This fund allocates its investments across a wide and diverse array of easily tradable stocks issued by smaller American companies. Its portfolio construction adheres to a market capitalization weighting methodology. Market capitalization is precisely defined as a company's total outstanding shares multiplied by its current share price. As a result, within this capitalization-weighted framework, companies boasting higher market valuations will inherently command a larger allocation within the fund's holdings compared to those with comparatively lower market values.
