Dimensional Emerging Markets Core Equity Fund

The aim is to increase the value of your investment and to earn income within the Fund. The Fund is actively managed which means that the Investment Manager is actively making investment decisions for the Fund. The Fund is not managed in reference to a benchmark. The Fund invests in shares of companies which derive a significant proportion of their business from emerging markets countries and which are listed on the principal stock exchanges of selected emerging markets countries. The Fund may also invest in shares or depositary receipts (financial certificates representing shares of companies which are bought and sold globally) of companies (i) that derive 50% or more of their revenues or profits or that have at least 50% of their assets in emerging markets countries or (ii) the majority of whose business is conducted in emerging markets countries and which are traded on developed markets. The Fund's portfolio is generally overweighted in shares of smaller companies, high profitability companies and value companies. Value companies are companies where, at the time of purchase, the Investment Manager believes that the share price is low compared to the accounting value of the company. The composition of the Fund may be adjusted based on considerations such as the number of outstanding shares of public companies that are freely available to the investing public, the tendency of the price of a security/share to continue movement in a single direction, how readily available the shares are to buy and sell, liquidity management, size, value, profitability and investment characteristics. The Fund may use financial contracts or instruments (derivatives) to manage risk, reduce costs or improve returns. Fund returns are primarily determined by the returns of the securities the Fund invests in, after fees. The performance of an investment in the Fund will be driven by the performance of the equity markets which the Fund focuses on, by the characteristics that the Fund emphasizes—such as exposure to the size, value and profitability premiums—as well as by implementation costs.
