We believe competition quicklydrives stock prices to fair value and that persistent differences in average portfolio returns areexplained by differences in average risk. Rather than trying to take advantage of the ways marketsare mistaken, we take advantage of the ways markets are right—the ways they compensateinvestors. Our mission is to deliver the performance of capital markets and increase returnsthrough state-of-the-art portfolio design and trading.PORTFOLIO COMPOSITIONThe Dimensional Global 60/40 Portfolio is intended for investors with a moderate tolerance forrisk. Comprised of 60% equity funds and 40% fixed income funds, the portfolio seeks moderatebut healthy growth of capital over long time horizons. Together, the component funds of theportfolio invest in over 10,000 securities across separate asset classes in forty countries. Theportfolio is systematically rebalanced.Relative to conventional broad-based equity market benchmarks, the portfolio reflects anemphasis on small company stocks and value stocks. Research conducted by Professors EugeneFama and Kenneth French found that small cap stocks and value stocks have higher expectedreturns over long periods. Small stocks and value stocks generally have a high level of risk.Because risk and return are directly related, this higher risk provides small and value stockswith higher expected returns. Such stocks also provide significant diversification benefits whencombined with larger cap and/or growth-oriented stocks.EQUITY CHARACTERISTICSGlobal Allocation 60/40 Portfolio (I)Number of Securities 12,013Weighted Average Market Cap (millions) $53,568Median Market Cap (millions) $714Aggregate Price-to-Book 1.71Component Funds Allocation (%)US EQUITIESCore Equity 1Core Equity 2Real EstateNON-US EQUITIESInternational CoreEMERGING MARKETSEmerging Markets CoreGLOBAL FIXED INCOMEShort-Term Ext.
