Fund Objectives

The fundamental investment objective of the International Vector Equity Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of non-Canadian and non-US companies in both developed and emerging markets. In constructing the portfolio, Dimensional buys a broad and diverse group of securities, with a strong exposure to securities of small issuers and securities that it considers to be value securities. The Fund places a greater emphasis on small cap and value stocks than Dimensional's International Core Equity Fund. Increased exposure to small and value companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the portfolio's assets in large growth companies relative to their weight in the universe. Dimensional typically determines size based upon market capitalization. In assessing value, Dimensional may consider factors such as a company's shares having a high book value in relation to its market value, and price-to-cash-flow or price-to-earnings ratios. The criteria used for assessing value may change from time to time.
