C000167354 Investment Objective and Strategy

DFA Social 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 Social Fixed Income Portfolio (the “Social Fixed Income Portfolio” or the “Portfolio”) is to seek to maximize total returns. Total return is comprised of income and capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Social Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through exposure to a broad portfolio of investment grade debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government issuers. At the present time, the Advisor expects that investments will be made in the obligations of issuers that are located in developed countries. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Social Fixed Income Portfolios net assets will be invested in fixed income securities considered to be investment grade quality. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio will be managed with a view to capturing expected credit premiums and expected term premiums. The term expected credit premium means the expected incremental return on investment for holding obligations considered to have greater credit risk than direct obligations of the U.S.

Treasury, and expected term premium means the expected incremental return on investment for holding securities having longer-term maturities as compared to shorter-term maturities. In managing the Social Fixed Income Portfolio, the Advisor will increase or decrease investment exposure to intermediate-term securities depending on the expected term premium and also increase or decrease investment exposure to non-government securities depending on the expected credit premium. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio invests in U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with an investment grade credit rating and may emphasize such investments in U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities the Advisor considers to be of extended quality as they are rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum (i.e., rated BBB- to A+ by Standard & Poors Rating Group (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Ltd.

(Fitch) or Baa3 to A1 by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys)). The Social Fixed Income Portfolio will not emphasize investments in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum, however, when the Advisor believes the expected credit premium is relatively low. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio will also invest in higher-rated corporate debt securities, obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, obligations of other domestic and foreign issuers having investment grade ratings, securities of domestic or foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the United States, and obligations of supranational organizations. The fixed income securities in which the Social Fixed Income Portfolio invests are considered investment grade at the time of purchase.

The Social Fixed Income Portfolios investments may include foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio intends to hedge foreign currency exposure to attempt to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency rates. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio may enter into foreign currency forward contracts 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 Social Fixed Income Portfolio also may enter into credit default swaps on issuers or indices to buy or sell credit protection to hedge its credit exposure; gain market or issuer exposure without owning the underlying securities; or increase the Portfolios total return. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio also may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to hedge its interest rate or currency exposure or for non-hedging purposes, such as a substitute for direct investment or to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. The Portfolio, however, 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 Social Fixed Income Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income. The Social Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to purchase securities that are consistent with the Portfolios social issue screens, which are monitored by an independent third party. The Portfolio seeks to exclude from its investment portfolio those companies that are identified by the Portfolios social issue screens, as further discussed below. The Portfolios social issue screens are designed to identify companies that: (1) earn at least 20% of their total annual revenue through the production and/or sale of conventional or nuclear weapons, their weapon systems, or critical components of these products, or the provision of weapon systems support and service; (2) are engaged in certain for profit business activities in or with the Republic of the Sudan; (3) earn at least 15% of their total annual revenue through the production and/or sale of tobacco or alcohol products, or key products or raw materials necessary for their production; (4) earn at least 20% of their total annual revenue from certain gambling activities, the production of goods used exclusively for gambling, or the provision of certain services in casinos that are fundamental to gambling operations; (5) directly participate in abortions, or develop or manufacture abortive agents or contraceptives; (6) earn at least 15% of their total annual revenue from the rental, sale, distribution or production of pornographic materials, or the ownership or operation of adult entertainment establishments; (7) are involved in the production or manufacture of landmines, cluster munitions, or the essential components of these products; (8) have had major recent controversies relating to child labor infractions in the U.S.

or abroad; and/or (9) are involved in stem cell research. The Portfolio may modify this list of social issue screens, at any time, without prior shareholder approval or notice.
