Dimensional Funds - Disclosure Update History

The pre-contractual disclosures and website disclosures for all Dimensional ESG Funds were amended. The disclosure versions for the pre-contractual disclosures / website disclosures were therefore updated to v.6 / v.6.0.0. Main changes:

  • The names of all Funds were updated.
  • All Funds implemented the EU’s Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (PAB) exclusions. As a result, the Environmental/Social (E/S) characteristics of the Funds were updated to reflect additional fossil fuel-related and tobacco exclusions. Furthermore, the list of principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors (PAIs) that the Funds consider was expanded.
  • The Fixed Income Funds implemented a methodology to screen sovereign and local authority issuers by seeking to limit exposure to sovereign and local authority debt issued in countries Dimensional identifies as being “high-emissions countries”. As a result, a new E/S characteristic was added to the Fixed Income Funds. Additionally, the Fixed Income Funds increased their minimum proportion of investments that will be aligned with E/S characteristics from 67% to 80%. Furthermore, the list of PAIs that the Fixed Income Funds consider was expanded.

The pre-contractual disclosures and website disclosures for all Dimensional ESG Funds were amended. The disclosure versions for the pre-contractual disclosures / website disclosures were therefore updated to v.5 / v.5.0.0.

All funds are now categorised as promoting “E/S characteristics but will not make any sustainable investments” and the following sentence has been included “While the fund does not seek to make EU Taxonomy-aligned investments, it may end up holding such sustainable investments and such incidental holding, if any, will be disclosed in the Annual Report of the fund.”

For Equity funds, the sentence “The fund generally seeks to invest in direct holdings and a minimum of 90% of its investments will be aligned with the E/S characteristics (#1) promoted by the fund” has been included, and similarly and for Fixed Income funds “The fund generally seeks to invest in direct holdings and a minimum of 67% of its investments will be corporate, agency and supranational bonds aligned with the E/S characteristics (#1) promoted by the fund.”

Additionally, the Global High Profitability Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund now includes the Legal Entity Identifier (“LEI”).


Updates were made to the Sustainability Risks Policy Summary, e.g., to include additional information with respect to the investment philosophy, the general investment process and investment stewardship.


The pre-contractual disclosures and website disclosures for all Dimensional ESG Funds were amended. The disclosure versions for the pre-contractual disclosures / website disclosures were therefore updated to v.4 / v.4.0.0. Main changes:

All Funds have lowered the revenue thresholds for determining material involvement in palm oil and factory farming activities from 20% to 10%.

Additionally, the Global Targeted Value Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund now excludes companies identified as operating in a manner inconsistent with responsible business conduct standards, such as those defined by the UN Global Compact Principles and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, because of material involvement in severe controversies related to the environment (e.g. land use and biodiversity, toxic spills and releases, operational waste or water management), society (e.g. child labour or human rights) or corporate governance (e.g. corruption or fraud).

As a result, the Environmental/Social (E/S) characteristics of the Global Targeted Value Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund were regrouped and a new E/S characteristic was added to the Fund.


The pre-contractual disclosures and website disclosures for the Global Core Equity Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund, Emerging Markets Core Equity Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund, World Equity Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund, Global Core Fixed Income Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund and Global High Profitability Lower Carbon ESG Screened Fund were amended. The disclosure versions for the pre-contractual disclosures / website disclosures were therefore updated to v.3 / v.3.0.0.

The Funds now exclude companies identified as operating in a manner inconsistent with responsible business conduct standards, such as those defined by the UN Global Compact Principles and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, because of material involvement in severe controversies related to the environment (e.g. land use and biodiversity, toxic spills and releases, operational waste or water management), society (e.g. child labour or human rights) or corporate governance (e.g. corruption or fraud).

As a result, the Environmental/Social (E/S) characteristics of the Funds were regrouped and a new E/S characteristic was added to the Funds.


The website disclosures for all Dimensional ESG Funds were amended. The disclosure version was therefore updated to v.2.0.1. Main changes:

  1. Section “Methodologies for environmental or social characteristics”: added clarifying information about the applicable universes used for the measurement of the sustainability indicators.
  2. Section “Limitations to methodologies and data”: added clarifying information about the applied procedures in case of unavailable data.
  3. Section “Investment strategy”: added clarifying information about how a material involvement in a severe controversy is assessed.

As required by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/363, the pre-contractual disclosures for all Dimensional ESG Funds were amended to include additional information on potential investments in fossil gas and/or nuclear energy related activities that comply with the EU Taxonomy. The disclosure version was therefore updated to v.2.
