C000102631 Investment Objective and Strategy
World Core 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 World Core Equity Portfolio (formerly, Dimensional Retirement Equity Fund II) (the “Portfolio”) is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The World Core Equity Portfolio is a ?fund of funds,? which means that the World Core Equity Portfolio generally allocates its assets among other mutual funds managed by the Advisor although it also has the ability to invest directly in securities. The World Core Equity Portfolio seeks to achieve exposure to a broad portfolio of securities of both U.S. companies and non-U.S. companies associated with countries with developed and emerging markets, which may include frontier markets (emerging markets in an earlier stage of development), by primarily purchasing shares of U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, Large Cap International Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the ?Underlying Funds?).
The World Core Equity Portfolio may have exposure to companies in all the market capitalization ranges. The World Core Equity Portfolio typically allocates its investments among the Underlying Funds in the following manner: 35% to 80% in the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio and/or U.S. Large Company Portfolio; 15% to 55% in the International Core Equity Portfolio and/or Large Cap International Portfolio; and 5% to 20% in the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio. Allocations by the World Core Equity Portfolio among the Underlying Funds within the ranges described above are determined by the relative value of the holdings of the Underlying Funds. Periodically, the Advisor will review the allocations for the World Core Equity Portfolio in each Underlying Fund and may adjust allocations to the Underlying Funds or may add or remove Underlying Funds in the Portfolio without notice to shareholders.
As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the World Core Equity Portfolio?s net assets will be invested directly, or indirectly through its investment in the Underlying Funds, in equity securities. The World Core Equity Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio or Underlying Fund. The World Core Equity Portfolio and Underlying Funds 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 World Core Equity Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and similarly structured pooled investments for the purposes of gaining exposure to the equity markets, while maintaining liquidity.
In addition to money market instruments and other short-term investments, the World Core Equity Portfolio and each Underlying Fund may invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. The World Core Equity Portfolio and Underlying Funds may invest in such money market funds and other short-term investments to manage cash pending investment in other securities or to maintain liquidity for the payment of redemptions or other purposes. Investments in ETFs and money market funds may involve a duplication of certain fees and expenses. The World Core Equity Portfolio and Underlying Funds may lend their portfolio securities to generate additional income. A summary of the investment strategies and policies of the Underlying Funds in which the World Core Equity Portfolio invests as of the date of this Prospectus is described in the Portfolio?s Prospectus in the section entitled ?
