Use our scanner to evaluate DFIV straddle pricing in real time and find the moments when expected moves are mispriced.

A long straddle on DFIV profits from large moves in either direction and is a classic play into binary events like earnings, product announcements, or macro releases. A short straddle profits when Dimensional International Value ETF stays range-bound and implied volatility contracts. The breakeven points are simple: strike plus total premium on the upside, strike minus total premium on the downside. Comparing the DFIV straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.

The Advisor buys and sells securities for the Portfolio with the goals of: (i) delaying and minimizing the realization of net capital gains (e.g., selling stocks with capital losses to offset gains, realized or anticipated); and (ii) maximizing the extent to which any realized net capital gains are long-term in nature (i.e., taxable at lower capital gains tax rates). The fund is designed to generally purchase securities of large non-U.S. companies in countries with developed markets that the Advisor determines to be lower relative price stocks.

Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the DFIV straddle is the cleanest expression of that view. Our scanner prices every DFIV straddle against historical realized moves, flags expirations where the market is overpaying or underpaying for vol, and ranks setups by breakeven width and IV rank. Whether you're long a DFIV straddle into a catalyst or short a DFIV straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
