| Investment Objective: |
The investment objective of the Dimensional Short-Duration Fixed Income ETF (the "Short-Duration Fixed Income ETF" or "Portfolio") is to maximize total returns from the universe of fixed income securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Short-Duration Fixed Income ETF will seek to achieve its investment objective through exposure to a broad portfolio of U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with an investment grade rating. In addition, the Portfolio may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, including mortgage-backed securities, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, money market funds, corporate debt obligations 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 Portfolio may invest in fixed income securities considered investment grade at the time of purchase. The Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within five years from the date of settlement. The Portfolio's investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies. |
