Prepare for the January Effect With These 3 Small-Cap ETFs
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Originally Published: 12/26/2025.
What You Need to Know
- In the new year, small-cap names may be poised to take off based on seasonal investing patterns.
- Two ETFs to consider for broad small-cap exposure are the DISV and the ISVL.
- As a counterbalance to these funds, the DFAU is an often-overlooked broad-based U.S. equities ETF.
Though investors do not universally agree on the existence of the January Effect, the theory holds that small-cap stocks may rise at the start of the year after investors sell losing positions late in the prior year to offset capital gains, then repurchase shares in January.
For those interested in small-cap stocks, seasonal January trends can be an added incentive. Small caps often offer the potential for outsized returns, though they are typically riskier than larger, more established companies.

A growing number of investors are paying attention to developments around private space companies and potential future public listings.
In a recent briefing, one research publisher outlines how some investors are seeking early exposure to the space economy through publicly traded assets — without waiting for a formal IPO.

Small-cap exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide diversified exposure to help mitigate some of that risk. At the start of a new year, a seasonal ETF strategy might shift toward small-cap funds to try to capture fresh momentum. Below are three widely followed ETFs that provide small-cap exposure from different angles.
DISV: Active International Small-Cap Value Exposure, But a Higher Fee
The Dimensional International Small Cap Value ETF (BATS: DISV) targets non-U.S. small-cap stocks in developed markets that managers consider attractively valued.
It is actively managed to allow responsiveness to changing market conditions, to avoid unintended sector concentrations, and to maintain portfolio control.
Investors should expect to pay a premium for that active management—DISV has an expense ratio of 0.42%, higher than many index-linked small-cap alternatives.
In return for the fee, investors get access to a curated portfolio of roughly 1,500 international small-cap names. The fund is broadly diversified, although the top 50 positions represent about a quarter of assets.
DISV’s track record may justify the higher cost for some: the fund has returned nearly 47% year-to-date (YTD), significantly outpacing the S&P 500 and lower-cost small-cap funds such as the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA: IJR), which is up less than 9% over the same period.
ISVL: A Lower-Cost International Small-Cap Value Option, But Has Liquidity Concerns
The iShares International Developed Small Cap Value Factor ETF (BATS: ISVL) similarly targets small-cap firms with value characteristics, excluding companies from the United States and Korea.
The ETF tilts toward industrials and financials but includes stocks across a variety of sectors. Japan and the U.K. receive the largest country allocations.
ISVL’s portfolio is narrower than DISV’s, holding about one-third as many positions, with several individual companies representing roughly 1% each of the fund.
As a passively managed option, ISVL carries a lower expense ratio of 0.31%, making it a more cost-efficient way to access the international developed small-cap space.
Performance-wise, ISVL has also outpaced the broader market, returning nearly 43% in the last year. Investors should note the fund’s relatively small assets under management (AUM) and trading volume, which could raise liquidity concerns.
DFAU: A Small-Cap Tilt With Broad U.S. Equity Exposure
The largest and most heavily traded ETF on this list is the Dimensional US Core Equity Market ETF (NYSEARCA: DFAU).
With an expense ratio of just 0.12%, DFAU is the least expensive option here.
While it does not explicitly target small-cap stocks, the fund aims to increase exposure to U.S. companies with smaller capitalizations, lower relative prices, and higher profitability compared with the broader market.
DFAU holds about 2,300 positions, making it a broad-based U.S. equity fund and a sensible complement to the more narrowly focused small-cap ETFs above. Its active management also allows the fund to pivot as market conditions change. The ETF’s performance has been roughly in line with the S&P 500 in 2025.
Each of these ETFs offers a different mix of cost, scope and liquidity: DISV provides a broad, actively managed international value portfolio at a higher fee; ISVL is a lower-cost, narrower international value play with potential liquidity constraints; and DFAU offers a low-cost, broad U.S. equity exposure with a small-cap tilt. Investors should weigh their objectives, risk tolerance and trading considerations when choosing among them.
