About DFSB
The Global Sustainability Fixed IncomeETF invests in a broad portfolio of investment grade debt securities (e.g., rated AAA to BBB- by S&PGlobal Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) or Aaa to Baa3 by Moody’s Ratings(“Moody’s”)) of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government issuers, including mortgage-backed securities,while excluding or underweighting securities of corporate and certain government issuersbased upon the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations. The Portfolio may purchase or sell mortgage-backedsecurities on a delayed delivery or forward commitment basis through the “to-be-announced” (TBA)market. At times, the Portfolio may invest a majority of its net assets in securities of U.S. and non-U.S.government issuers. Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the ”Advisor”) expects that the Portfolio willprimarily invest in the obligations of issuers that are in developed countries. The Advisor selects thePortfolio's foreign country and currency compositions based on an evaluation of various factors, including,but not limited to, relative interest rates and exchange rates.ThePortfolio will be managed with a view to capturing expected credit premiums and expected term premiums.The term “expected credit premium” means the expected incremental return on investment for holdingobligations considered to have greater credit risk than direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, and“expected term premium” means the expected incremental return on investment for holding securitieshaving longer-term maturities as compared to shorter-term maturities. In managing the Portfolio, theAdvisor will increase or decrease investment exposure to intermediate-term securities depending on theexpected term premium and also increase or decrease investment exposure to non-government securitiesdepending on the expected credit premium.The Portfolio will primarilyinvest in securities that mature within twenty years from the date of settlement, but may, as in thecase of mortgage-backed securities, invest in securities with longer maturities. Under normal circumstances,the Portfolio will generally maintain a weighted average duration of no more than one half year greaterthan, and no less than one year below, the weighted average duration of the Bloomberg Global AggregateBond Index (Hedged to USD), which was approximately 6.34 years as of December 31, 2025. From time totime, the Portfolio may deviate from this duration range when the Advisor determines it to be appropriateunder the circumstances. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a security’s price to changesin interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interestrates. The Portfolio intends to invest its assets to gain exposure to at least three different countries,including the United States. As of the date of the Prospectus, the Portfolio invests approximately 25%of its net assets in U.S. issuers. This percentage will change due to market conditions. An issuer maybe considered to be of a country if it is organized under the laws of, maintains its principal placeof business in, has at least 50% of its assets or derives at least 50% of its operating income in, oris a government, government agency, instrumentality or central bank of, that country.Asa non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio’s net assets willbe invested in fixed income securities considered to be investment grade quality. The Portfolio may investin obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities,including mortgage-backed securities, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, moneymarket funds, obligations of other domestic and foreign issuers, securities of domestic or foreign issuersdenominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the United States, and obligations of supranational organizations.In addition, the Portfolio is authorized to invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S. Treasurybonds, bills and notes, and obligations of federal agencies and its instrumentalities.ThePortfolio’s investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio intendsto hedge foreign currency exposure to attempt to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreigncurrency rates. The Portfolio may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against fluctuationsin currency exchange rates or to transfer balances from one currency to another. The Portfolio also mayenter into credit default swaps on issuers or indices to buy or sell credit protection to hedge its creditexposure; gain market or issuer exposure without owning the underlying securities; or increase the Portfolio’stotal return. The Portfolio also may use derivatives, such as futures contracts and options on futurescontracts, for hedging purposes such as hedging its interest rate or currency exposure or for non-hedgingpurposes as a substitute for direct investment or to increase or decrease market exposure based on actualor expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio.The Portfolio may lendits portfolio securities to generate additional income.The Advisor intends totake into account certain sustainability considerations when making investment decisions for the Portfolio.Relative to a fund without these considerations that otherwise has the same investment objective, strategies,and policies as the Portfolio, the Portfolio will generally have excluded, and have less overall weightin, securities of companies that, according to the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations, may beless sustainable as compared to other companies in the Portfolio’s investment universe. Similarly,relative to such a fund, the Portfolio will generally have more overall weight in securities of companiesthat, according to the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations, may be more sustainable as comparedto other companies in the Portfolio’s investment universe. In particular, the Advisor assesses corporate issuers by considering several factors,including carbon intensity and controversies related to land use and biodiversity, toxic spills and releases,operational waste, and water management, with most weight placed on carbon intensity. These issuers arethen ranked based on one or more of these factors relative to the applicable universe of securities ortheir sector peers. Securities of the worst ranked of these companies within the applicable universeof securities are then generally excluded. Additionally, securities of the worst ranked of these companieswithin their sector are generally underweighted and the best ranked overweighted or neutral-weighted.The Advisor also assesses corporate issuers based on potential emissions from reserves and scaled potentialemissions from reserves. These issuers are then ranked relative to the applicable universe of securities.Securities of the worst ranked of these companies within the applicable universe of securities are thengenerally excluded. In addition, the Advisor seeks to exclude securities of companies based on sustainabilityconsiderations relating to coal, factory farming, palm oil, cluster munitions and landmines, tobacco,child labor, civilian firearms, private prisons, and material involvement in severe environmental, social,or governance controversies that indicate operations inconsistent with responsible business conduct standards(such as those defined by the United Nations Global Compact Principles and the Organization for EconomicCo-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises). For a more detailed descriptionof these sustainability considerations, see “Applying the Portfolios’ Sustainability Considerations”.The Advisor engages third party service providers to provide research information relating to the Portfolio’ssustainability considerations with respect to securities in the Portfolio, where information is availablefrom such providers. The Advisor also may use, or supplement third party service providers’ data with,proprietary research relating to certain sustainability considerations where information is not availableor has not been obtained from third party service providers engaged by the Advisor.Inaddition to excluding, underweighting, overweighting and neutral weighting securities of companies basedupon the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations, the Portfolio also will assess treasury, sovereignand local authority issuers on the respective sovereign entity’s greenhouse gas emissions per GDP andunderweight the highest emitters in aggregate. Additionally, the Portfolio will assess government agencyand supranational issuers on their carbon intensity and potential emissions from reserves and seek toexclude securities of such issuers with relatively high carbon intensity or potential emissions fromreserves.The Advisor periodically reviews the Portfolio’s sustainabilityconsiderations and the Portfolio may periodically modify, add, or removesustainability considerations.The Portfolio is an actively managed exchangetraded fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index and may have a higherdegree of portfolio turnover than such index funds.
