Fundamentally-weighted index fund or ETF?

[T-bone1]

Does anyone have any good suggestions of a well-structured and low cost fundamentally-weighted index or ETF?

 

Thanks!

RPV (not fundamental weighted in RAFI sense); FNDB (Schwab's RAFI suite is cheaper than the Powershares one, with minor tweaks to fundamentals used); DTD (cheapest ER I've seen among these @ .28 is dividend weighted).  These all have 10+ years of live result track records (the RAFI results are for other funds but same index/methodology).

No real opinion on it but Diamond Hill has a valuation weighted 500 ETF that has slightly out-performed the index since inception (end of 2011).  Expense ratio is .10.

I like the approach  of the  AlphaDex funds by First Trust. They are not cheap with approximately .60- .80 expense ratios, but combine both value and momentum factors. This seems like too much to pay for US oriented etf's, but for the small cap emerging market etf FEMS , which I own, it seems reasonable.

I track that one too but am leery of the size (~$17MM), fee waiver (going to .45% in April 2017 without extension), and also don't prefer their use of projected metrics  (cash flows or earnings can't remember which) as some of the literature shows and I personally believe the value premium may largely be the result of bad predictions/recency bias.
