Risks
Investments involve risks. The investment return and principal value of an investment may fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original value. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There is no guarantee strategies will be successful.

End of Brexit Transition Period

Effective as of 1 January 2021

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) as a European Union (EU) member state occurred on 31 January 2020, with a transition period (Transition Period) that expired on 31 December 2020. Following the expiry of the Transition Period, the Emerging Markets Core Equity Fund will no longer be registered in, and unless otherwise permitted under local law, will not accept new investors from EU/EEA jurisdictions. Accordingly, for EU/EEA investors, information relating to the fund is intended only for EU/EEA investors already in the fund as at the expiry of the Transition Period and not new investors. Sub-funds of Dimensional Funds ICVC (ICVC Sub-Funds) are no longer considered from an EU/European Economic Area perspective as EU UCITS, but are now viewed as non-EU alternative investment funds, and as such can no longer avail of the EU UCITS passporting regime. It is further expected that from the UK perspective, the ICVC Sub-Funds will be viewed as UK UCITS.
