AVLC

Dimensional doesn't have a direct analog for VOO/SPY. DFVX is probably the most similar, but it uses a severely trimmed-down (only 300 or so companies) subset of the Russell 1000 instead of the SP500, so it's not really apples to apples. Its company weighting also differs substantially from a true index, with a few big names like Nvidia and Apple, for example, only having a fraction of their market weight in representation. The most index-like Dimensional US ETF would probably be to use DFUS as a stand-in for VTI. If you really want an "active" index that applies some modest filters while still remaining largely true to market cap, maybe look at AVLC from Avantis. It also roughly uses the Russell 1000, but holds 700 or so companies at market weights that feel a lot less like stock picking.

I would encourage you to mess around on sites like etf.com, etfdb.com, and the overlap tool from etfrc.com to get more familiar with the holdings of different ETFs like these and what their competitors/sibling ETFs are. r/ETF and this subreddit are my favorite market-related ones. AVLC is pretty similar to VOO (76% overlap) but has more holdings, so it is a bit less concentrated. AVUV is a great ETF specifically because it leaves out crappy small cap companies, of which there are a lot. Combining AVLC and AVUV does not result in holding the entire US market, but I’d argue it gives you most of what’s worth holding. VTI and its competitors are the “entire US market” ETFs. Similarly, AVDE plus AVDV would give you the biggest companies and best value small caps in developed markets. AVDE is the only international ETF I own because I don’t trust emerging markets and it has relatively less of the Shells and Nestles than similar ETFs. I’m not personally a fan of AVDV because its recent run has been largely led by mining companies.
