| Investment Objective: |
The investment objective of the Dimensional US Small Cap Value ETF (the "US Small Cap Value ETF" or "Portfolio") is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio, using a market capitalization weighted approach, is designed to purchase a broad and diverse group of the readily marketable securities of U.S. small cap companies that the Advisor determines to be lower relative price stocks. The Portfolio may emphasize certain stocks, including smaller capitalization companies, lower relative price stocks, and/or higher profitability stocks as compared to their representation in the small-cap value segment of the U.S. market. An equity issuer is considered to have a low relative price (i.e., a value stock) primarily because it has a low price in relation to its book value. The Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small cap U.S. companies. The Portfolio is an actively managed exchange-traded fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index. |
