Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA)

Our passive asset class investment approach is translated by Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) into an array of mutual funds, each of which is rigorously designed to capture a particular “dimension” or asset class within a globally diversified portfolio. (DFA is our primary but not exclusive source for implementing our recommended investment approach, Focus Asset receives no compensation from DFA for using its funds nor are we under any obligation to use them if they do not best meet your particular investment needs.)

DFA's distinctive qualities give you the strongest investment vehicles:

• Each DFA fund captures the return behavior of an entire asset class; when combined, these "building block" funds enable you to establish high-quality, diversified portfolios that precisely reflect the investor's goals and risk tolerance.

• Rather than merely tracking popular market indices, DFA captures separate dimensions of worldwide returns, which are accompanied by independent sources of risk (enabling highly tailored portfolios).

• DFA's funds are established according to rigorous academic research by financial economists at Yale, Stanford, Wharton and the University of Chicago.

• DFA's innovative trading and fund-building techniques add value by further minimizing transaction costs.

• Typically only available to large institutional-level investors, DFA funds are available to you through your alliance with Focus!
