December 2009

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.

The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.

Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.

More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.

 

Sincerely,
LOGO
David G. Booth
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

U.S. Equity Market Review    12 Months Ended October 31, 2009

The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index®. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.

Master-Feeder Structure

The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchase stocks and/or other securities.

U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio

The U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in S&P 500® Index stocks in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 10.07% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, outperformance was mostly due to the flexible trading approach employed by the Master Fund to gain exposure to the performance of the Index during periods of index reconstitution.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses, legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.

Actual Fund Return

This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflect the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio for the six-month period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to reflect the six-month period. The Portfolio is a Feeder Fund. The expenses shown reflect the direct expenses of the Feeder Fund and the indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund.

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.

U.S. LARGE COMPANY INSTITUTIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Organization:

Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose shares are offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which the U.S. Large Company Institutional lndex Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.

The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The U.S. Large Company Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 22% of the Series. The financial statements of the Series are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Portfolio.

At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.

B. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

1.  Security Valuation:   The Portfolio’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.

The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

   Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

   Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

   Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of these inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 are listed below (in thousands):

     Level 1    Level 2    Level 3    Total

U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio

   $ 785,743          $ 785,743

2.  Deferred Compensation Plan:   Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1

 

11


Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio; U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio; Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income, are included in Directors’/Trustees’ Fees. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $19 (in thousands).

Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.

3.  Other:   The Portfolio recognizes its pro-rata share, on a daily basis, of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of investment securities and futures from the Series, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.

C. Investment Advisor:

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor at an effective annual rate of 0.05% of average daily net assets.

Pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Portfolio, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee to the extent necessary to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses to the extent that its total direct and indirect expenses (including the expenses the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of the Series) exceed 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the total direct and indirect expenses of the Portfolio are less than 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s total direct and indirect expenses to exceed 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees waived by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of such recovery. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect for a period of one year from March 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At October 31, 2009, approximately $418 (in thousands) of previously waived fees are subject to future recovery by the Advisor over various periods not exceeding October 31, 2012.

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:

Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

D. Federal Income Taxes:

The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally

 

12


accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to net realized gains on securities were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amount in thousands):

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund measures its capital loss carryforwards annually at October 31, its fiscal year end. Capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts in thousands):

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s

 

13


financial tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

E. Line of Credit:

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.

F. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

G. Other:

At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all the subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that the following subsequent event requires recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

On December 18, 2009, the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc., on behalf of the U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio (the “Large Company Institutional Portfolio”), approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), under which the U.S. Large Company Portfolio (the “Large Company Portfolio”), a portfolio of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., will be reorganized with and into the Large Company Institutional Portfolio. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Large Company Portfolio will transfer substantially all of its assets to the Large Company Institutional Portfolio in exchange solely for shares of the Large Company Institutional Portfolio (the “Reorganization”), which will be distributed to shareholders of the Large Company Portfolio according to their interests held in the Large Company Portfolio immediately prior to the Reorganization. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Large Company Portfolio will be liquidated and dissolved.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio and

Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

THE U.S. LARGE COMPANY SERIES

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses, legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.

Actual Fund Return

This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflect the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio for the six-month period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to reflect the six-month period.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY

THE U.S. LARGE COMPANY SERIES

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

(Unaudited)

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009. It is available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a “Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings” in lieu of a full Schedule of Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund’s 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one percent of the fund’s net assets at the end of the reporting period. The amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.

The fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The SEC requires that all Funds present their categories of portfolio holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more specific industry classifications.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY

THE U.S. LARGE COMPANY SERIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Organization:

The DFA Investment Trust Company (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.The Trust consists of twelve investment portfolios, of which The U.S. Large Company Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.

At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.

B. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

1.  Security Valuation:   Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Series that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the Series values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Series may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.

Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.

The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

   Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

   Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

   Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

27


2.  Deferred Compensation Plan:   Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio; U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio; Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/Trustees’ Fees & Expenses. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $87 (in thousands).

Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.

3.  Other:   Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.

C. Investment Advisor:

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.025% of average daily net assets.

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:

Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):

 

Purchases

   $ 324,298

Sales

     294,824

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.

 

28


E. Federal Income Taxes:

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to its partners.

At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):

 

  Federal
    Tax Cost    

 

Unrealized
Appreciation

 

Unrealized
(Depreciation)

 

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)

$3,858,145

  $789,949   $(876,863)   $(86,914)

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

F. Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the Series’ investment objectives and policies, the Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:

1.  Repurchase Agreements:   The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.

2.  Futures Contracts:   The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Series as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

29


Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Series could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Series entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

G. Line of Credit:

The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.

For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except for percentages and days):

   $8,245      10      $6      $14,732

There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009

The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.

H. Securities Lending:

As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The Series invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Series’ collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities.

Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of

 

31


the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, each Series will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.

I. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust.

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

J. In-Kind Redemptions:

In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $24,362 (in thousands) of net gain.

During the year ended November 30, 2007, The U.S. Large Company Series distributed securities in lieu of cash for shareholder redemptions. The value of the redemption was $1,099,445 (in thousands) which resulted in a realized gain of $529,199 (in thousands) to the Series.

K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all the subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of The U.S. Large Company Series and

Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Company Series (one of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT

Trustees/Directors

Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).

Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.

Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

The statements of additional information (together, “SAI”) of the Funds include additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of the SAI and prospectus of each Fund advised by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP by calling collect (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746.

December 2009

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.

The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.

Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.

More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.

 

Sincerely,

LOGO

David G. Booth

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

U.S. Equity Market Review    12 Months Ended October 31, 2009

The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.

REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.

Master-Feeder Structure

Certain portfolios described below, called “Feeder Funds,” do not buy individual securities directly; instead, these portfolios invest in corresponding funds called “Master Funds.” Master Funds, in turn, purchase stocks and/or other securities.

Domestic Equity Portfolios’ Performance Overview

U.S. Large Company Portfolio

The U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in S&P 500® Index stocks in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 10.08% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, outperformance was mostly due to the flexible trading approach employed by the Master Fund to gain exposure to the performance of the Index during periods of index reconstitution.

Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio

The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Index by using an “enhanced cash” strategy. This strategy combines investment in high-grade, short-term fixed income instruments with an overlay of S&P 500® Index futures contracts or swaps. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, approximately 97% of the overlay instruments consisted of S&P 500® Index futures contracts. Swaps and ETFs completed the equity exposure for the last month of the fiscal year. The behavior of S&P 500® Index futures contracts and ETFs linked to the S&P 500® Index is determined principally by the performance of the S&P 500® Index.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 12.23% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to the fixed income component of the Portfolio exceeding the return embedded in the Portfolio’s S&P 500 futures contracts. The Portfolio’s concentration in government agency and corporate fixed income securities with maturities between one and two years had the most significant contribution to the outperformance.

U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio

The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.76% for the Portfolio and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Master Fund’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to the outperformance.

 

17


The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Portfolio also benefited from composition differences among the Master Fund’s basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.

U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio

The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small and mid capitalization value stocks. The investment strategy employed by the U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio is a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small and mid cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,580 stocks, and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.47% for the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio, 9.36% for the Class R1 shares of the Portfolio and 9.23% for the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio, as compared to 1.95% for the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s deeper value tilt contributed to outperformance. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to value stocks (42% of the Portfolio compared to 33% of the Index) added approximately 3.7% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to performance differences. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to information technology stocks and consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent small and value exposure, added approximately 1.5% and 1.1% respectively to relative performance.

U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio

The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small company value stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company and value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,634 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.97% for the Portfolio and 1.95% for the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics added approximately 4.0% to the relative performance. Higher exposure to, and differences in portfolio composition with respect to, the smallest stocks added approximately 3.8% to the Portfolio’s relative performance.

U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio

The U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total U.S. market universe, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing wide diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,476 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.64% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on

 

18


average 9% more than the Index) added approximately 1.0% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also contributed to the outperformance. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 0.5% from relative return.

U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio

The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total U.S. market universe with greater exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio than the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing wide diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,575 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.66% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 1.5% from the relative return.

The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on average 17% more than the Index) added approximately 1.3% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.

U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio

The U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of U.S. stocks with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio than the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,310 stocks and essentially was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.47% for the Portfolio and 13.26% for the Russell 2500TM Index. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 2.5% from the relative return. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (more than twice the weight of the Index on average) added approximately 2.2% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.

T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio

19


ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.28% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. The Portfolio’s tilt toward value companies caused an increased exposure to the financials sector, which was the worst performing sector of the period. This increase in exposure and specific composition detracted approximately 1.0% from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on average 18% more than the Index) added approximately 1.0% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.

U.S. Small Cap Portfolio

U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio

The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of very small U.S. company stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to very small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,452 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the real estate securities market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 0.98% for the Portfolio, 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index and -0.26% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM. Over the period, the Portfolio’s greater diversification than the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM, including allocations to smaller REITs and net-lease REITs entirely excluded from the Index, contributed to the outperformance. Small REITs generally outperformed the broader

 

20


Index. Composition differences between the Portfolio and the Index across sectors also had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s relative performance.

As of March 31, 2009, the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT IndexSM has been discontinued, and the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM has been selected to take its place as an appropriate benchmark for the Portfolio. According to the index provider, Dow Jones Indexes, the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM uses the same methodology, composition and historical data back to 1987 as the Portfolio’s previous benchmark.

 

International Equity Market Review   12 Months Ended October 31, 2009

The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.

From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Global REIT Market Review

The publicly-traded REIT market experienced significant volatility during the 1-year period ended October 31, 2009. REITs were particularly impacted by the credit crises that started with Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, as financing became increasingly expensive or unavailable, and serious concerns over both the residential and commercial real estate markets rippled through REIT valuations. The S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends) lost 34.55% from October 31, 2008 through February 28, 2009, which was on the heels of its largest ever monthly decline (–30.56%) in October 2008. The Index then returned 71.68% from February 28 through October 31, 2009, after large amounts of government-supplied liquidity helped ease the credit crisis and restored confidence in the markets. During this 8-month period, the Index saw its largest ever monthly return (+20.9%) in April 2009.

International Equity Portfolios’ Performance Overview

Large Cap International Portfolio

The Large Cap International Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international large company stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,212 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 25.20% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). No single stock, industry sector, or geographical region explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

International Core Equity Portfolio

The International Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 4,785 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets, rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 34.81% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 44% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 18% of the Portfolio on average and were excluded from the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.

T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio

The T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks in developed and emerging markets, with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The Portfolio intends to consider the effects of the realization of capital gains and taxable dividend income. When selling a security, the Portfolio typically will select the highest cost shares in order to limit the realization of capital gains and, when possible, will refrain from disposing of a security until the long-term holding period for capital gains tax purposes has been satisfied. The purchase of a stock may be delayed to avoid dividend income, and a stock may be sold to realize a capital loss, subject to applicable investment criteria. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 4,239 stocks in 22 developed country markets and 18 emerging markets countries. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year as the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets, rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.13% for the Portfolio and 34.10% for the MSCI All

 

23


Country World ex USA Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 43% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 37% of the Portfolio as compared to 8% for the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials, financials, and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.

International Small Company Portfolio

The International Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of international small company stocks by purchasing shares of five Master Funds that invest individually in Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe (excluding the U.K.), Japan, and Asia Pacific. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Funds held 4,201 stocks in 22 developed country markets and were mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the combined average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Funds’ assets.

As a result of the Master Funds’ diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in international equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, international small company stocks outperformed international large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.34% for the Portfolio and 50.01% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Funds hold a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences in the Continental Europe region, particularly in value stocks. The Portfolio and Index held a number of securities in common, but in different weights, due to the different methods for defining size and the Portfolio’s exclusion rules. Other differences in performance resulted from the process of continually rebalancing the Master Funds toward their targets. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Japanese Small Company Portfolio

The Japanese Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of Japanese small company stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 1,313 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the Japanese equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, Japanese small company stocks outperformed Japanese large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 22.08% for the Portfolio and 24.60% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio

The Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in developed Asia Pacific markets, excluding Japan, by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The

investments strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 963 stocks, and assets were allocated mainly among four countries: Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore (approximately 59%, 21%, 7%, and 13% respectively). Country allocations are determined by utilizing the approximate weights of individual securities within a universe of Asia Pacific small company stocks constructed by the Advisor. The allocations do not represent a forecast of future performance and are subject to change by the Advisor. The average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in Asia Pacific equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, Asia Pacific small company stocks outperformed Asia Pacific large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 84.11% for the Portfolio and 90.41% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio

The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.K. small company stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 386 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.K. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, U.K. small company stocks outperformed U.K. large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.81% for the Portfolio and 51.09% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Continental Small Company Portfolio

The Continental Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in developed markets of Europe, excluding the U.K., by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 1,234 stocks in 15 developed continental European countries. Country allocations reflect the approximate weights of individual securities within a universe of continental European small company stocks constructed by the Advisor. Country allocations do not represent a forecast of future performance and are subject to change by the Advisor. The average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

a limited number of stocks. Over the period, continental European small company stocks outperformed continental European large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 43.12% for the Portfolio and 57.29% for the MSCI Europe ex UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Portolio’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio

The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities in international markets, but does not attempt to track closely a specific index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 172 stocks in 16 developed and emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified approach, performance was determined principally by structural trends in international real estate securities markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 29.25% for the Portfolio, 31.95% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (gross dividends), and 30.51% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s underperformance relative to the Indexes was primarily the result of withholding taxes, expenses, and a difference in the timing of the pricing of securities and foreign exchange rates between the Portfolio and the Indexes. The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 P.M. London time. Relative to the Index (net dividends), the Portfolio benefited from a smaller allocation to large cap REITs which generally underperformed over the period.

DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio

The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, a fund of funds, is designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities in U.S. and international markets, but does not attempt to track closely a specific index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio invested in the DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had exposure to 277 stocks, through its underlying funds, in 17 developed and emerging markets countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the diversified approach of the Portfolio’s underlying funds, performance was principally determined by structural trends in global real estate securities markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 13.81% for the Portfolio, 14.11% for the S&P Global REIT Index (gross dividends), and 12.36% for the S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index (net dividends), the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a greater allocation to small cap REITs, which outperformed over the period, and a smaller allocation to large cap REITs, which generally underperformed over the period.

DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio

The DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of international small company value stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,127 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in international equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, international small stocks outperformed international large stocks and international value stocks outperformed international growth stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 41.42% for the Portfolio and 50.01% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Portfolio holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. The Portfolio’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks had a positive impact on relative performance. However, composition differences in the Portfolio’s stock portfolio relative to the Index had a greater negative impact. The Portfolio and Index held a number of securities in common, but in different weights, due to the different methods for defining size and value and the Portfolio’s exclusion rules. Other differences in performance resulted from the process of continually rebalancing the Portfolio toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

International Vector Equity Portfolio

The International Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics, as measured by book-to-market ratio, than the International Core Equity Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,989 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets, rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 39.52% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 53% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 26% of the Portfolio on average and were excluded from the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.

Emerging Markets Portfolio

The Emerging Markets Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of large company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of a Master Fund investing in such firms. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large company emerging markets stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 654 stocks in 18 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets. The Master Fund’s target country weights are capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 53.39% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s relative underperformance was primarily due to differences in country weights and in the composition of the Master Fund’s holdings relative to the Index. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of a Master Fund investing in such firms. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to emerging markets small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 2,152 stocks across 16 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets. The Master Fund’s target country weights are capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.

As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 91.35% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio outperformed primarily because small cap stocks dramatically outperformed large cap stocks during the period. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio

The Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the broad universe of emerging markets stocks with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to emerging market countries, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,665 stocks across 18 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets. The Portfolio’s target country weights were capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.

As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 69.47% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a stronger tilt than the Index toward value and small cap stocks, which outperformed their growth and large cap counterparts. Composition differences in the Portfolio’s holdings relative to the Index also had a positive impact on the relative performance. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

 

Fixed Income Market Review    12 Months Ended October 31, 2009

U.S. and international credit markets experienced high levels of volatility in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Investor appetite for credit risk returned as the year progressed, and credit spreads narrowed significantly. Over the course of the year the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate for federal funds from 1.00% on October 31, 2008 to between 0% and 0.25% by October 31, 2009, and continued to add liquidity into the financial system through various loan programs and capital injections into financial institutions. Central banks around the world took similar actions to loosen credit markets. The three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a widely-used benchmark of short-term interest rates, fell 275 basis points during the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, while the yield on ten-year U.S. Treasury notes declined 57 basis points. The yield curve remained upwardly sloped throughout the year.

There is generally an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices, such that bond prices fall when interest rates rise. For the fiscal year under review, changes in interest rates and bond prices were more pronounced in some parts of the yield curve than others. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 0.32% for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, 6.77% for five-year U.S. Treasury notes, and 5.57% for thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds.

Some of the Advisor’s fixed income strategies are based on a shifting-maturity strategy that identifies the maturity range with the highest risk-adjusted expected return. When the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to offer the most attractive opportunity on a risk-adjusted basis. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped, maturities are lengthened to achieve higher returns associated with longer maturities. During the period under review, weighted average maturities of most Portfolios lengthened, reflecting upwardly sloped yield curves in the U.S.

Fixed Income Portfolio Performance Overview

DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio

The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of high-quality fixed income securities with an average maturity of one year or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 340 days on October 31, 2009, from 265 days on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 3.80% for the Portfolio, 1.05% for the BofA Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and 1.86% for the BofA Merrill Lynch One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. During the period, interest rates declined but maintained a positive expected return premium. Relative to the Indexes, the Portfolio benefited from exposure to securities with higher credit risk premium. The Portfolio had exposure to corporate and agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of tightening credit spreads. Additionally, the Portfolio benefited from the period of falling interest rates, as it maintained a higher average maturity than the BofA Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and had allocations to 1-2 year maturity securities, which significantly outperformed less-than-1-year maturity securities. The benchmarks had no exposure to securities with maturities of over one year.

DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio

The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and currency-hedged global fixed income instruments maturing in two years or less. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.46 years on October 31, 2009, from 0.74 years on October 31, 2008.

 

29


For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 3.71% for the Portfolio and 3.42% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance of the Portfolio was primarily due to structural and maturity differences between the Portfolio and Index. A higher exposure to government agency securities, which outperformed sovereign government debt, had a positive impact on the relative performance. The Portfolio had an average duration of 1.42 years on October 31, 2009 compared to 1.89 years for the Index, which limited relative returns in a falling interest rate environment.

DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio

The DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and global fixed income instruments maturing in two years or less. It hedges foreign currency exposure on a selective basis to capture the higher interest rates that may be offered in foreign yield curves. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, the EMU countries, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.31 years on October 31, 2009, from 0.47 years on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 12.23% for the Portfolio and 12.18% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (unhedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance of the Portfolio was primarily due to differences in currency exposures. In particular, the Portfolio was aided by its unhedged Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar and Norwegian Krone holdings.

DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio

The DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of U.S. government securities maturing in five years or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 3.06 years on October 31, 2009 from 3.46 years on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 7.27% for the Portfolio and 4.56% for the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury/Agency Index 1-5 Years. Relative to the Index, outperformance by the Portfolio was primarily due to structural differences. The Portfolio had much higher exposure to agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of significantly tightening credit spreads. Interest rates declined during the period, but the yield curve continued to be upwardly-sloped and exhibited positive expected term premium. The Portfolio also benefited from a longer duration than the Index during the period when interest rates declined.

DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio

The DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and currency-hedged global fixed income instruments maturing in five years or less. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased from 2.46 years on October 31, 2008 to 3.52 years on October 31, 2009.

 

30


For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 7.74% for the Portfolio and 4.26% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-5 Years (hedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance by the Portfolio was primarily due to structural and maturity differences. A higher exposure to government agency and corporate securities, during a period when credit spreads narrowed relative to sovereign governments, contributed to the outperformance.

DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio

The DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return and current income from investing generally in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues with maturities of between five and fifteen years. The investment strategy maintains a relatively constant average maturity. The average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 5.83 years on October 31, 2009 from 6.37 years on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.71% for the Portfolio and 7.05% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index. The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a much higher allocation to agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of tightening credit spreads. The Portfolio also benefited from the period of falling interest rates, as it had a higher allocation to securities with maturities greater than ten years.

DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio

The DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize total returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with an investment grade credit rating. The Portfolio emphasizes investment grade obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum. However, the Portfolio will not emphasize investment grade obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum when the Advisor believes the credit risk premium does not warrant the investment. The Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within five years from the date of settlement, and seeks to maintain an average portfolio duration of approximately three years or less. The Portfolio hedges foreign currency risks. The average maturity of the Portfolio was 3.12 years on October 31, 2009.

From the Portfolio’s inception on March 4, 2009, through October 31, 2009, total returns were 7.49% for the Portfolio and 5.24% for the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate and Government Index 1-5 Years. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to its significant overweight in corporate securities during the period when corporate securities outperformed government securities. The Portfolio’s average duration remained close to 2.8 years over the period as upwardly sloped yield curves exhibited positive expected return premiums.

DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio

The DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio seeks to provide inflation protection and current income from investing generally in inflation-protected securities issued by the US government and its agencies and instrumentalities with maturities of between five and twenty years. The investment strategy maintains a relatively constant average maturity. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 8.73 years on October 31, 2009, from 8.60 years on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 17.70% for the Portfolio and 17.15% for the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index. The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to structural differences with the Index. A much lower allocation to short-term securities, which underperformed intermediate and long-term securities during the period of falling interest rates, contributed to the outperformance.

DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio

The DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return from a universe of high-quality municipal securities providing current income exempt from federal personal income tax. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three years. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 2.78 years on October 31, 2009 from 1.53 years on October 31, 2008.

 

31


For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 4.32% for the Portfolio and 7.34% for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index 3 Years. Municipal interest rates decreased significantly during the period, and the Portfolio’s relative underperformance was primarily due to its shorter duration.

DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio

The DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return from a universe of municipal securities providing current income exempt from federal personal income taxes and California state personal income taxes. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three years. The average maturity increased to 2.78 years on October 31, 2009, from 2.12 years on October 31, 2008.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 4.91% for the Portfolio and 5.37% for the BofA Merrill Lynch California Municipal Bond Index 1-3 Years. California municipal interest rates decreased significantly during the period, and the Portfolio’s 25% average allocation to securities with maturities of less than one year contributed to the relative underperformance.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses, legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Tables below illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways.

Actual Fund Return

This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflect the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

(Unaudited)

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009. It is available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a “Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings” in lieu of a full Schedule of Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund’s 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one percent of the fund’s net assets at the end of the reporting period. The amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.

The fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The SEC requires that all Funds present their categories of portfolio holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more specific industry classifications.

The categories of industry classification for the Affiliated Investment Companies are represented in the Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings, which are included elsewhere within the report. Refer to the Schedule of Investments/Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings for each of the underlying Master Funds’ holdings which reflect the investments by category or country.
