About DFSI
To achieve the International SustainabilityETF’s investment objective, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Advisor”) implements an integratedinvestment approach that combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions.As further described below, the Portfolio’s design emphasizes long-term drivers of expected returnsidentified by the Advisor’s research, while balancing risk through broad diversification across companies,sectors, and countries. The Advisor’s portfolio management and trading processesfurther balance those long-term drivers of expected returns with shorter-term drivers of expected returnsand trading costs.The Portfolio is designed to purchase a broad and diversegroup of securities within a market capitalization weighted universe (e.g., the larger the company, thegreater the proportion of the universe it represents) of non-U.S. companies associated with developedmarkets that have been authorized for investment by the Advisor’s Investment Committee (the “InternationalUniverse”). The Portfolio invests in companies of all sizes and seeks to moderately increase the Portfolio’sexposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price, and higher profitability companies as comparedto their representation in the International Universe, while adjusting the composition of the Portfoliobased on sustainability considerations. The Portfolio may seek to achieve a moderately increased exposureto smaller capitalization, lower relative price, and higher profitability companies by decreasing theallocation of the Portfolio’s assets to larger capitalization, higher relative price, or lower profitabilitycompanies relative to their weight in the International Universe. An equity issuer is considered to havea high relative price (i.e., a growth stock) primarily because it has a high price in relation to itsbook value. An equity issuer is considered to have a low relative price (i.e., a value stock) primarilybecause it has a low price in relation to its book value. In assessing relative price, the Advisor mayconsider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. An equity issueris considered to have high profitability because it has high earnings or profits from operations in relationto its book value or assets. The criteria the Advisor uses for assessing relative price and profitabilityare subject to change from time to time. Additionally, the representation of securities in the Portfolioas compared to their representation in the International Universe may be affected by the Portfolio'ssustainability considerations.The Portfolio intends to purchase securities of companiesassociated with developed market countries that the Advisor has designated as approved markets. As anon-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its netassets in equity securities. The Advisor determines company size on a country or region specific basisand based primarily on market capitalization. The percentage by which the Portfolio’s allocation tosecurities of the largest high relative price companies is reduced will change due to market movements,sustainability considerations and other factors. The Advisor may also increaseor reduce the Portfolio’s exposure to an eligible company, or exclude a company, based on shorter-termconsiderations, such as a company’s price momentum, short-run reversals, and investment characteristics.In assessing a company’s investment characteristics, the Advisor considers ratios such as recent changesin assets divided by total assets. The criteria the Advisor uses for assessing a company’s investmentcharacteristics are subject to change from time to time. In addition, the Advisor seeks to reduce tradingcosts using a flexible trading approach that looks for opportunities to participate in the availablemarket liquidity, while managing turnover and explicit transaction costs.ThePortfolio may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by purchasing equity securitiesin the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuer’s domicile country.The Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign orU.S. equity securities and indices, to increase or decrease equity market exposure based on actual orexpected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. Because many of the Portfolio’s investmentsmay be denominated in foreign currencies, the Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions,including foreign currency forward contracts, in connection with the settlement of foreign securitiesor to transfer cash balances from one currency to another currency. The above-referenced investmentsare not subject to, although they may incorporate, the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations.ThePortfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.TheAdvisor intends to take into account certain sustainability considerations when making investment decisionsfor the Portfolio. Relative to a fund without these considerations that otherwise has the same investmentobjective, strategies, and policies as the Portfolio, the Portfolio will generally have excluded, andhave less overall weight in, securities of companies that, according to the Portfolio’s sustainabilityconsiderations, may be less sustainable as compared to other companies in the Portfolio’s investmentuniverse. Similarly, relative to such a fund, the Portfolio will generally have more overall weight insecurities of companies that, according to the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations, may be moresustainable as compared to other companies in the Portfolio’s investment universe. In particular, theAdvisor ranks companies (i) relative to the broader equity market based on potential emissions from reservesand scaled potential emissions from reserves and the securities of the worst-ranking companies are generallyunderweighted or excluded, (ii) relative to the applicable universe of securities based on carbon intensityand the securities of the worst-ranking companies are generally underweightedor excluded and (iii) relative to their sector peers based primarily on carbon intensity, but also consideringseveral other factors, including controversies related to land use and biodiversity, toxic spills andreleases, operational waste, and water management, and the securities of the worst-ranking companiesare generally underweighted or excluded and the securities of the remaining companies are generally overweightedor neutral-weighted. 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.TheAdvisor periodically reviews the Portfolio’s sustainability considerations and the Portfoliomay periodically modify, add, or remove sustainability considerations.ThePortfolio is an actively managed exchange traded fund and does not seek to replicate the performanceof a specific index and may have a higher degree of portfolio turnover than such index funds.
