C000053614 Investment Objective and Strategy
Dfa International Value Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Dimensional Investment Group INC.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the DFA International Value Portfolio (the “DFA International Value Portfolio”) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The DFA International Value Portfolio is a Feeder Portfolio and pursues its objective by investing substantially all of its assets in its corresponding Master Fund, The DFA International Value Series (the “International Value Series” or “Master Fund”) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (the “Trust”), which has the same investment objective and policies as the Portfolio.
Principal investment strategy
The DFA International Value Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in the DFA International Value Series. The DFA International Value Series, using a market capitalization weighted approach, purchases securities of large non-U.S. companies in countries with developed markets that the Advisor determines to be value stocks. A companys market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of a large company within an eligible country, the greater its representation in the Series. The Advisor may adjust the representation in the Series of an eligible company, or exclude a company, after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity, size, value, profitability, and other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions.
Securities are considered value stocks primarily because a companys shares have a low price in relation to their book value. In assessing value, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. In assessing profitability, the Advisor may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. The criteria the Advisor uses for assessing value or profitability are subject to change from time to time. The DFA International Value Series intends to purchase securities of large companies associated with developed market countries that the Advisor has designated as approved markets. The Advisor determines the minimum market capitalization of a large company with respect to each country or region in which the Series invests.
Based on market capitalization data as of December 31, 2017, for the DFA International Value Series, the lowest minimum market capitalization of a large company in any country or region in which the DFA International Value Series invests would be $1,593 million. This threshold will change due to market conditions. The DFA International Value Series may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by purchasing equity securities in the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuers domicile country. The DFA International Value Series and the DFA International Value Portfolio each may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign or U.S. equity securities and indices, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Series or Portfolio.
The Series and Portfolio do not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short positions in individual securities or to use derivatives for purposes of speculation or leveraging investment returns. The DFA International Value Series may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
