C000106763 Investment Objective and Strategy
DFA World ex U.S. Government Fixed Income 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 DFA World ex U.S. Government Fixed Income Portfolio (the “World ex U.S. Government Portfolio”) is to seek to maximize total returns from the universe of debt securities in which the Portfolio invests. Total return is comprised of income and capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The World ex U.S. Government Portfolio seeks its investment objective by investing in a universe of obligations issued or guaranteed primarily by non-U.S. government issuers and supranational organizations and their agencies having investment grade credit ratings at the time of purchase. At the present time, the Advisor expects that most investments will be made in the obligations of issuers determined by the Advisor to be associated with countries with developed markets. The Advisor selects the Portfolios foreign country and currency compositions based on an evaluation of various factors, including, but not limited to, relative interest rates and exchange rates. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments (including political subdivisions) and their authorities, agencies or instrumentalities.
Generally, the World ex U.S. Government Portfolio will purchase fixed income securities that mature between five and fifteen years from the date of settlement. The Portfolio ordinarily will have an average weighted maturity, based upon market values, between three and twelve years. Because many of the World ex U.S. Government Portfolios investments may be denominated in foreign currencies, the Portfolio may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to attempt to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency rates, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates or to transfer balances from one currency to another. In regard to currency hedging, it is generally not possible to precisely match the foreign currency exposure of such foreign currency forward contracts to the value of the securities involved due to fluctuations in the market values of such securities and cash flows into and out of the Portfolio between the date a foreign currency forward contract is entered into and the date it expires.
The Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to hedge its currency exposure or 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 Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that the Portfolio may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The World ex U.S. Government Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
