Dear Advisor,

I am happy to report that our proxy campaign is complete and shareholders have approved all ballot measures. The votes were solidly in favor of all proposals.

As a result, the funds will now be able to fill board seats in the event that any current directors should wish to retire. In addition, the funds will operate under a standard, up-to-date set of investment guidelines and portfolio managers will have more flexibility to ensure that they are delivering asset class exposure in an efficient way. All of these changes will provide important benefits to shareholders of Dimensional’s funds.

We realize that this campaign required a significant effort on your part and deeply appreciate the time you put into bringing it to a successful conclusion. We clearly couldn’t have done it without you.

Everyone at Dimensional sends their best wishes for the rest of the summer, and onward.

Sincerely,


David G. Booth
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
