Yeah, I saw that video. IMHO it's much more of a problem with smaller indexes. If you buy total stock market (VTI) just how often is a company going to be moving in and out of that index?

I noticed he didn't really have much in the way of suggestions for the individual beyond suggesting DFA funds. Given those aren't easily available without signing up for their advisor services, I am deeply skeptical that the savings would be enough to pay for their fees.



Also, Aiui, for a very large index like VTI and fund admins have some flexibility for inclusion and weighting. They look out for obvious problems and try to adjust a bit.


It's not just company being added or removed from the index but also company selling new shares or buying existing shares.


Dimensional U.S. Equity Market ETF (DFUS) is an ETF freely tradable by many brokerages.


Comparing the overlap between the two does not convince me it's worth the extra .06 in fees
