However, the Factsheet PDF link right below it says the target index is 65B. Not sure which one is wrong. Could be both are correct due to ETF startup issues as new ETFs don't fully replicate the index until enough blocks of ETFs are created. I see the 12B number on the website.

The index requires just $1.5B in market cap to be included. So I think the fund may have small/mid-cap stocks. Looking at the performance, IDV has a 5-year historical return of 27%, which is lower than DWX, but a little expensive at 0.50% ER. I am currently using PID, but it seems DWX is a good choice.Dividend Guy: Do you put strict limit on AA? Are you looking at your AA all the time?

As I am from Canada however, I need to watch the Canadian content of the fund as it is high and I might go over my overall asset allocation weightings if I am not careful.

By comparison, iShares' IDV has a market cap of 9B and coverage of small, medium and large. (I currently use both DOO + DLS but plan to switch to just IDV.)
