Dimensional Emerging Core Equity Market ETF

DFAE is a Global Ex. US Equities ETF. The Emerging Markets Core ETF Portfolio is designed to purchase a broad and diverse group of readily marketable emerging markets securities that is composed of companies within the Emerging Markets Universe that meet the Advisor s investment criteria. The Advisor defines the Emerging Markets Universe as a market capitalization weighted set (e.g., the larger the company, the greater the proportion of the Emerging Markets Universe it represents) of non-U.S. companies associated with emerging markets, which may include frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), that have been designated as Approved Markets (as identified below) for investment by the Advisor. The Portfolio will invest in companies of all sizes, with increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price, and higher profitability companies as compared to their representation in the Emerging Markets Universe. The Portfolio s increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price, and higher profitability companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the Portfolio s assets to larger capitalization, higher relative price, or lower profitability companies relative to their weight in the Emerging Markets Universe. An equity issuer is considered to have a high relative price primarily because it has a high price in relation to its book value. An equity issuer is considered to have a low relative price primarily because it has a low price in relation to their book value. In assessing relative price, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. In assessing profitability, the Advisor considers different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. The criteria the Advisor uses for assessing relative price and profitability are subject to change from time to time. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in emerging market equity investments that are defined in the Prospectus as Approved Market Securities.
