Core Series

Core strategies are for investors who are comfortable deviating from the total market in pursuit of outperformance. They have a meaningful emphasis on stocks that research has shown have higher expected returns—smaller companies, those with lower relative prices (value stocks), and those that are more profitable.

GLOSSARY

Diversification: Holding many securities or types of investments in a portfolio, often for the purpose of mitigating risk associated with owning a single security or type of investment.

Relative price: A company’s price, or the market value of its equity, in relation to another measure of economic value, such as book value.

Profitability: A company’s operating income before depreciation and amortization minus interest expense scaled by book equity.

Expected return: An estimate of average anticipated returns informed by historical data.

DISCLOSURES

The majority of Dimensional funds are priced within the lowest quartile of their Morningstar category peer groups. Data as of March 31, 2025.

Risks include loss of principal and fluctuating value. Investment value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Small and micro cap securities are subject to greater volatility than those in other asset categories. Value investing is subject to risk which may cause underperformance compared to other equity investment strategies. International and emerging markets investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. Sector-specific investments focus on a specific segment of the market which can increase investment risks. These risks are described in the Principal Risks section of the prospectus.

There is no guarantee strategies will be successful. Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.
