Disclosures Consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the Dimensional funds carefully before investing. For this and other information about the Dimensional funds, please read the prospectus carefully before investing. Prospectuses are available by calling Dimensional Fund Advisors collect at (512) 306 7400 or at us.dimensional.com/prospectus. Dimensional funds are distributed by DFA Securities LLC. Dimensional Fund Advisors LP is an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. 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. Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks, including changes in credit quality, liquidity, prepayments, call risk and other factors. Municipal securities are subject to the risks of adverse economic and regulatory changes in their issuing states. Real estate investment risks include changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Sustainability funds use environmental and social screens that may limit investment opportunities for the fund. Commodities include increased risks, such as political, economic, and currency instability, and may not be suitable for all investors. The may be more volatile than a diversified fund because the invests in a smaller number of issuers and commodity sectors. The fund prospectuses contain more information about investment risks. 8
