C000121545 Investment Objective and Strategy
U.S. Large Cap Growth 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 U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of large U.S. companies that the Advisor determines to have high profitability and valuation ratios relative to other U.S. large cap companies at the time of purchase. 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 the U.S. large cap company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio. The Advisor may also adjust the representation in the U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio of an eligible company, or exclude a company, after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity, size, valuation ratios, profitability, and other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate, given market conditions.
Companies are considered to have high valuation ratios primarily because a companys shares have a high price in relation to their book value (a price to book ratio) when compared with other U.S. large cap companies. In assessing valuation ratios, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios, as well as economic conditions and developments in the issuers industry. Securities of companies that have high valuation ratios are often considered to be growth stocks. 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 valuation ratios or profitability are subject to change from time to time. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the U.S.
Large Cap Growth Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of large cap U.S. companies. As of the date of this Prospectus, for purposes of the U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio, the Advisor considers large cap companies to be companies whose market capitalizations are generally in the highest 90% of total market capitalization or companies whose market capitalizations are larger than or equal to the 1,000 th largest U.S. company, whichever results in the higher market capitalization break. Total market capitalization is based on the market capitalization of U.S. operating companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE American LLC, Nasdaq Global Market , Nasdaq Capital Market , or such other securities exchanges deemed appropriate by the Advisor. Under the Advisors market capitalization guidelines described above, based on market capitalization data as of December 31, 2017, the market capitalization of a large cap company would be $5,282 million or above.
This dollar amount will change due to market conditions. The U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for 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 U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
