The fund seeks capital appreciation in the long term by investing in small-size companies outside the United States.

However, the fund invests substantially all of its net assets in the International Small Company Portfolio of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.

The DFA Portfolio seeks to provide investors with access to securities portfolios consisting of a broad range of equity securities of primarily small Japanese, United Kingdom, Continental European, Asia Pacific and Canadian companies.

The DFA Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in: The Japanese Small Company Series (the Japanese Series), The United Kingdom Small Company Series (the United Kingdom Series), The Continental Small Company Series (the Continental Series), The Asia Pacific Small Company Series (the Asia Pacific Series) and The Canadian Small Company Series (the Canadian Series) (each an Underlying Fund and together, the Underlying Funds).

Each Underlying Fund invests in small companies using a market capitalization weighted approach in each country or region designated by the sub-adviser as an approved market for investment.

The sub-adviser’s investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities.

The sub-adviser has the flexibility to adjust the representation or exclude a company in the Underlying Funds based on factors such as free float, size, value, profitability, trading strategies, liquidity, and momentum.

In assessing a company’s investment characteristics, the research team may consider ratios such as recent changes in assets or book value scaled by assets or book value.

Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level.

The allocation of the assets of the DFA Portfolio to be invested in the Underlying Funds will be determined by the sub-adviser on at least a semi-annual basis.

However, the Underlying Funds invest primarily in developed market countries.
