Shira Ridge Wealth Management

Key Holdings

The portfolio is heavily concentrated at the top, with the first three positions accounting for roughly 32% of the total portfolio value.

• Core Alpha ETF (SUSA): This is the dominant holding, comprising 16.21% of the portfolio ($40.34M). As a new position, it represents a massive overweighting in a strategy focused on shareholder yield (dividends and buybacks).
• Dimensional ETFs: The firm shows a strong preference for Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) strategies. DFAU (10.42%) and DFSD (4.71%) are significant positions, alongside DFAI (4.21%). This indicates a reliance on factor-based investing (likely value, size, and profitability factors) rather than traditional market-cap weighting.
• Factor and ESG Tilts: DYNF (BlackRock ETF Trust) at 5.38% and ESGD (iShares MSCI ESG Advanced) at 5.22% suggest a sophisticated overlay combining dynamic factor exposure with environmental, social, and governance criteria.
• Individual Equities: While the portfolio is ETF-heavy, it maintains select positions in mega-cap technology, most notably Apple (AAPL) at 3.18% and Alphabet (GOOG/GOOGL) at roughly 2.8% combined.
