ABOUT DIMENSIONAL
In 1981, Dimensional launched its first strategy based on research documenting the
stronger performance of US small cap stocks. Our second strategy, a short-term fixed
income portfolio launched in 1983, applies Eugene Fama's term structure research. Later,
a comprehensive analysis of prices and other research deepened our strategy repertoire
and set a new standard for portfolio design.
At Dimensional, we see markets as an ally, not an adversary. We believe competition
quickly drives stock prices to fair value and that persistent differences in average portfolio
returns are explained by differences in average risk. Rather than trying to take advantage of
the ways markets are mistaken, we take advantage of the ways markets are right—the ways
they compensate investors. Our mission is to deliver the performance of capital markets
and increase returns through state-of-the-art portfolio design and trading.
PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION
The Emerging Markets Value Fund seeks broadly diversified exposure to emerging
markets companies with high book-to-market (BtM) ratios. The research of financial
economists documents that stocks with higher BtM ratios have historically provided
higher returns than stocks with lower BtM ratios.
The Fund is constructed by first ranking the universe of stocks in the eligible size range by
their BtM ratios. The Fund buys those stocks with the highest BtM ratios that together
form 25% of the total market cap of those stocks in the eligible size range. REITs and
highly regulated companies are excluded as research has shown that they do not have the
higher expected returns of value stocks.
RISK PROFILE
Investment in the Company carries with it a degree of risk including, but not limited to,
the risks referred to in the Prospectus. There can be no assurance that the Company will
achieve its investment objective. The Net Asset Value of a Fund, and the income generated
there from, may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount invested
or any return on their investment. Numerous emerging market countries have recently
experienced serious and potentially continuing, economic and political problems. Stock
markets in many emerging countries are relatively small and risky. Investors are often
limited in their investment and divestment activities. Additional restrictions may be
imposed under emergency conditions. Emerging market securities may decline or
fluctuate because of economic and political actions of emerging market governments and
less regulated or liquid securities markets. Investors holding the securities are also
exposed to emerging market currency risk.
