C000066387 Investment Objective and Strategy
International Vector Equity Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Dfa Investment Dimensions Group INC.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the International Vector Equity Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The International Vector Equity Portfolio purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of non-U.S. operating companies in developed markets, with a greater emphasis on small capitalization and value companies as compared to their representation in the International Universe. For purposes of this Portfolio, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the Advisor) defines the International Universe as a market capitalization weighted portfolio of non-U.S. companies in developed markets that have been authorized for investment by the Advisors Investment Committee. The Portfolios increased exposure to small capitalization and value companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the International Vector Equity Portfolios assets to the largest growth companies relative to their weight in the International Universe or by avoiding purchases in that segment of the market, either of which would result in a greater weight allocation to small capitalization and value companies.
An equity issuer is considered a growth company primarily because it has a high price in relation to its book value. Securities are considered value stocks primarily because a companys shares have a low price in relation to their book value. In assessing growth and value, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. The Advisor determines company size on a country or region specific basis and based primarily on market capitalization. The Advisor will also establish a minimum market capitalization that a company must meet in order to be considered for purchase, which minimum will change due to market conditions. The International Vector Equity Portfolio intends to purchase securities of companies associated with developed markets countries that the Advisor has designated as approved markets for investment.
As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The percentage allocation of the assets of the International Vector Equity Portfolio to securities of the largest growth companies will generally be reduced by between 5% and 50% of their percentage weight in the International Universe. For example, as of December 31, 2017, securities of the largest growth companies in the International Universe comprised approximately 13% of the International Universe and the Advisor allocated approximately 2% of the International Vector Equity Portfolio to securities of the largest growth companies in the International Universe. The percentage by which the Portfolios allocation to securities of the largest growth companies is reduced, as compared to their representation in the International Universe, will change due to market movements and other factors.
The Advisor may also adjust the representation in the International Vector Equity Portfolio 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. 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 growth, value or profitability are subject to change from time to time. The International Vector Equity Portfolio 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 International Vector Equity Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Portfolio does 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 International Vector Equity Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
