What is DFAT?

The investment objective of the Dimensional U.S. Targeted Value ETF (the "US Targeted Value ETF" or "Portfolio") is to achieve long-term capital appreciation while minimizing federal income taxes on returns. To achieve its investment objective, the US Targeted Value ETF, using a market capitalization weightedapproach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. small and midcap companies that the Advisor determines to be lower relative price stocks with higher profitability. Acompany s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, thehigher the relative market capitalization of the eligible company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio.The Advisor may increase or decrease the Portfolio s exposure to an eligible company, or exclude a company,after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity, size, relative price,profitability, investment characteristics, and other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate.
