June 2010

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Stock prices around the world have continued to regain much of the losses they suffered in recent years. The size and speed of this rebound has been significant. This experience has reinforced our belief in the value of a long-term, disciplined approach to investing. The gains have varied quite a bit across regions and across asset classes, reflecting one of the benefits of diversification.

We take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s funds very seriously, and we are grateful for the continued trust you place in us. We hope to continue serving your needs for many years to come.

 

  Sincerely,

  David G. Booth   
  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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 March 31, 2010. 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.

Each feeder fund and fund of funds (collectively, “Feeder Funds) invests primarily in a corresponding master fund(s) (”Master Fund“) as indicated. International Small Company Portfolio and DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio also invest in short-term temporary cash investments.

The financial statements of the Master Funds are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Feeder Funds.

Prior to March 30, 2007, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invested substantially all of its assets in shares of The U.S. Targeted Value Series. At the close of business on March 29, 2007, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio received its pro-rata share of cash and securities from The U.S. Targeted Value Series in a complete liquidation of its interest in the Series. Effective March 30, 2007, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests directly in securities rather than through the Series and maintains the same investment objective.

Effective February 28, 2009, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio invest directly in securities rather than through a Master Fund. See Federal Income Taxes note for more information regarding these transactions.

 

105


Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.

On January 31, 2008, Class R1 Shares and on June 30, 2008, Class R2 Shares of U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio commenced operations. The Class R1 Shares and Class R2 Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund (except U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, Japanese Small Company Portfolio, Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio, United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio), contained in this report, had not commenced operations as of April 30, 2010. Class R1 and Class R2 Shares of each Portfolio have 100,000,000 authorized shares.

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 Portfolios 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:    Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio and DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (the “Domestic Equity Portfolios”) and Large Cap International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the “International Equity Portfolios”), including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International Equity Portfolios 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios value 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.

The International Equity Portfolios will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the

 

106


time that the net asset values of the International Equity Portfolios are computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the International Equity Portfolios price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the International Equity Portfolios will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the International Equity Portfolios’ foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund have determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When an International Equity Portfolio uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the International Equity Portfolio’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.

Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, (the “Fixed Income Portfolio”), are valued on the basis of prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of such securities. Securities which are traded over-the-counter and on a stock exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for which quotations are not 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.

Master Fund shares held by International Small Company Portfolio and DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio are valued at their respective daily net asset value. The Feeder Funds’ investments reflect proportionate interest in the net assets of their corresponding Master Fund.

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 Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

2. Foreign Currency Translation:    Securities and other assets and liabilities of Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and the International Equity Portfolios whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement. Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio also enters into forward foreign currency contracts solely for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked to market daily based on daily forward exchange rates.

The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuation in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities whether realized or unrealized. However, Enhanced U.S.

 

107


Large Company Portfolio does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios and Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3. 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 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 or Other Expenses.

Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election to defer compensation (the “Notice”) to elect to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). Robert C. Merton resigned from the Board of the Fund on December 1, 2009 and received a lump sum payment of the proceeds of his deferred fee account on January 4, 2010 in the amount of $241,764. As of April 30, 2010, no other Directors have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.

4. 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/affiliated investment companies 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.

Class R1 Shares, Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of the Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of the Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.

U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, International Small Company Portfolio, Japanese Small Company Portfolio, Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio, United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio each recognize their pro-rata share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis, from their respective Master Funds, which are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.

 

108


The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolios accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio’s investments in Thailand and the investments in Thailand held by the Master Funds of Emerging Markets Portfolio and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio and the Master Funds of Emerging Markets Portfolio and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. These funds are also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.

C. Investment Advisor and Administrator:

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to all Portfolios except the Feeder Funds. The Advisor provides administrative services to the Feeder Funds, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to shareholders and the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services.

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolios’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

*  Effective March 30, 2007, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio and on February 28, 2009, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio no longer invest substantially all of their assets in their respective Series. Instead, the Portfolios’ assets are managed directly in accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objective and strategies, pursuant to an investment management agreement between the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, and Dimensional, which previously was the manager of the Series’ assets. The investment advisory fee paid by the Portfolios are identical to the advisory fee that was charged to the Series.

Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, including administration/advisory fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Portfolios below will remain in effect through March 1, 2011, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolios had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or expenses assumed as listed below (amounts in thousands). Previously waived fees subject to future recovery by the Advisor are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). The Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.

(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and advisory fee and to assume the Portfolio’s direct and indirect expenses (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) (”Portfolios Expenses“) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized expenses of the Portfolio are less than the rate listed above for the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

(2) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and assume each Portfolio’s ordinary operating expenses (excluding the expenses a Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of each Portfolio to the rates listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized Portfolio Expenses of a Portfolio are less than the rates listed above for such Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement does not include the indirect expenses each Portfolio bears as a shareholder of its Master Funds. At any time that the direct expenses of a Portfolio are less than the rates listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s direct expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

(4) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and to assume the expenses of the Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other investment companies managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee to the extent necessary to limit the total advisory fees paid by the Portfolio to the Advisor directly and indirectly (the proportionate share of the advisory fees paid by the Portfolio through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor) to 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average net assets on an annualized basis.

(5) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and to assume the Portfolio’s direct and indirect expenses (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Class R1 Shares to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the Class R1 Shares’ annualized expenses are less than the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously

assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

(6) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and to assume the Portfolio’s direct and indirect expenses (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Class R2 Shares to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the Class R2 Shares’ annualized expenses are less than the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

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 six months ended April 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $108 (in thousands).

F. Federal Income Taxes:

Each 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 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 considered to be “passive foreign investment companies”, non-deductible offering costs, foreign bond bifurcation, the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes and distribution redesignations, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

For the year ended October 31, 2009, Japanese Small Company Portfolio had capital loss carryforward expirations of $3,508 (in thousands).

Some of the Portfolios’ investments and investments held by the Master Funds are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies” for which any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net investment income for federal income tax purposes. At October 31, 2009, the following Portfolios had cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) to be included in distributable net investment income for federal tax purposes. For the year ended October

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 taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax postions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Portfolios’ financial statements. No Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

On October 22, 2008, The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The U.S. Small Cap Value Series and on October 25, 2008 The U.S. Small Cap Series, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, each with a RIC feeder (“the Portfolios”), having 100% investment in their respective master fund, have each made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3, to change their federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a disregarded entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, each master fund is deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its owners, the respective portfolios (the RIC feeders), with the respective portfolios deemed the surviving entities. The final tax year end of the Master Funds was October 21, 2008 for The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The U.S. Small Cap Value Series and October 24, 2008 for The U.S. Small Cap Series. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §337(a), each of the master funds recognizes no gain or loss and, pursuant to Code §332(a), each of the Portfolios recognizes no gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC §332 (c), each of the aforementioned Portfolios has recognized the master fund’s deemed dividend, which was distributed as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income. Pursuant to IRC Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, each of the Portfolios will maintain each respective master fund’s holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed transferred to the respective Portfolio.

Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.

The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.

As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.

Each Portfolio impacted by the ”Check the Box“ election also has a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. Listed below is the permanent difference impacting each respective Portfolio. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to each respective fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.

On November 1, 2008, The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure and Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio (“the Portfolio”), having 100% investment in its respective master fund, made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change the Series’ federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a disregarded entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, the master fund is deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its owner, the Portfolio, with the Portfolio deemed the surviving entity. The final tax year end of the Master Fund was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §337(a), the Master Fund did not recognize any gain or loss and, pursuant to Code §332(a), the Portfolio did not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC §332(c), the Portfolio has recognized the Master Fund’s deemed dividend, which was distributed as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income. Pursuant to IRC Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, the Portfolio will maintain its respective master fund’s holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed transferred to the respective Portfolio.

H. Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios may invest, either directly or indirectly through their investment in a corresponding Master Fund, 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 Portfolios 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 Fund’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 April 30, 2010.

2.    Foreign Market Risks:    Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. companies, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities held by the Portfolios may be inhibited.

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 Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolios.

3.    Forward Currency Contracts:    Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts only to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk). The decision to hedge a Portfolio’s currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be based primarily on the Portfolio’s existing exposure to a given foreign currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of translation of foreign currency denominated amounts. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. At April 30, 2010, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio had entered into the following contracts and the net unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) is reflected in the accompanying financial statements (amounts in thousands):

*

During the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolio had limited activity in these transactions.

Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

122


4. Futures Contracts: Certain Portfolios may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Additionally, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio uses stock index futures to hedge against changes in equity securities’ prices in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio 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.

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 Portfolio could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Portfolios 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.

At April 30, 2010, the following Portfolio had outstanding futures contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

I. 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 of credit are charged interest at rates agreed to by the parties at the time of borrowing. 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.

At April 30, 2010, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio had a loan outstanding in the amount of $558 (in thousands).

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2010 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 for the line of credit expires on January 15, 2011.

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

There were no outstanding borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of credit as of April 30, 2010.

J. Securities Lending:

As of April 30, 2010, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each Portfolio received cash collateral. Each Portfolio 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities.

 

125


Subject to their stated investment policies, each Portfolio will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the ”Money Market Series“), an affiliated registered money market advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Each Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repuchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, each Portfolio 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.

K. Shareholder Servicing Fees:

The Class R1 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.10% and Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1 and Class R2 Shares.

L. 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.

M. In-Kind Redemptions:

In accordance with guidelines described in the Portfolios’ prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund 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 year ended October 31, 2009, Emerging Markets Portfolio realized net gains of in-kind redemptions in the amount of $17,805 (amount in thousands).

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 (181), 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 (Affiliated Investment Company).

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.

DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which DFA International Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this section of the report.

The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At April 30, 2010, the Portfolio owned 72% 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.

Class R2 shares commenced operations on April 30, 2008. As of April 30, 2010, Class R1 shares has 100,000,000 authorized shares and has not commenced operations.

On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.

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 Portfolio utilizes a fair value heirarchy 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)

 

136


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

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 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 April 30, 2010, 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 $119 (in thousands).

Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election to defer compensation (the “Notice”) to elect to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). Robert C. Merton resigned from the Board of the Fund on December 1, 2009 and received a lump sum payment of the proceeds of his deferred fee account on January 4, 2010 in the amount of $241,764. As of April 30, 2010, no other Directors have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.

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 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.

Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of the Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of the Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.

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 six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets.

Pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Class R2 shares of the DFA International Value Portfolio, the Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the Portfolio’s direct expenses (excluding management fees and custodian fees) to the extent necessary to limit the expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less than 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right

 

137


to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized expenses to exceed 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of such reimbursement. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect until March 1, 2011 and shall continue to remain in effect for year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At April 30, 2010, there were no fees subject to future recovery by the Advisor.

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 six months ended April 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $13 (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 from 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 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, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to a reclassification of distributions, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts 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 carryforwards in the amount of $1,348,208 to offset future realized capital gains expiring in 2016.

For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes of $44,756 (amount in thousands).

At April 30, 2010, 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):

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 taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax postions 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 positions 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.

On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.

F. 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 of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowings. 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 six months ended April 30, 2010.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2010 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, 2011. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the six months ended April 30, 2010.

G. Shareholder Servicing Fees:

The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in the DFA International Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.

H. 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

 

140


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.

I. Other:

At April 30, 2010, three shareholders held approximately 84% of the outstanding shares of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio and two shareholders held approximately 47% of the outstanding shares of the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically holds shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

J. Subseqent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY

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 TRUST COMPANY

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 March 31, 2010.

(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.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 thirteen investment portfolios, of which nine are included in this section of the report (collectively, the “Series”), and four are presented in separate reports.

 

Domestic Equity Portfolio

 

International Equity Portfolios

 

The U.S. Large Cap Value Series

 

 

The DFA International Value Series

 

The Japanese Small Company Series

 

The Asia Pacific Small Company Series

 

The United Kingdom Small Company Series

 

The Continental Small Company Series

 

The Canadian Small Company Series

 

The Emerging Markets Series

 

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series

Effective December 31, 2008 and November 1, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and The DFA International Value Series, respectively, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of their respective Holder(s) to change their U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. Each Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.

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 Domestic Equity Portfolio and the International Equity Portfolios, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolio and the International Equity Portfolios 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 Domestic Equity Portfolio and International Equity Portfolios value 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).

 

189


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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.

The International Equity Portfolios will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset values of the International Equity Portfolios are computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the International Equity Portfolios price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the International Equity Portfolios will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the International Equity Portfolios’ foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Trust have determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When an International Equity Portfolio uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the International Equity Portfolio’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments 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’ investments 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.

2.    Foreign Currency Translation:    Securities and other assets and liabilities of the International Equity Portfolios, whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies, are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.

The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held whether realized or unrealized.

Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on

 

190


securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3.    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.

Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election to defer compensation (the “Notice”) to elect to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). Robert C. Merton resigned from the Board of the Fund on December 1, 2009 and received a lump sum payment of the proceeds of his deferred fee account on January 4, 2010 in the amount of $241,764. As of April 30, 2010, no other Trustees have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.

4.    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 gain 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 an 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 or Series are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.

The International Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Series accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series investments in Thailand are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series accrue for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. These Series are also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.

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

F. Federal Income Taxes:

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series are treated as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to their respective partners.

Some of the Series’ investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies” for which any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net investment income for federal income tax purposes. At October 31, 2009, the following Series had cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) to be included in distributable net investment income for federal tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2009, realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to accumulated net investment income for federal tax purposes. Amounts listed below are 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 taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Series’ financial statements. No Series is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax

 

193


purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.

Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.

The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.

As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.

G. 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 April 30, 2010.

 

194


2.    Foreign Markets Risks:    Investments in foreign markets may involve certain consideration and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Master Funds may be inhibited.

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.

3.    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 record a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements 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.

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.

Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statements of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period.

At April 30, 2010, the Series’ had no outstanding futures contracts.

H. 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 rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. 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 six months ended April 30, 2010, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2010 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 for the line of credit expires on January 15, 2011.

I. Securities Lending:

As of April 30, 2010, some of the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each Series received cash collateral. Each 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 their stated investment policies, each Series will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Each Series also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, 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.

 

196


J. 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.

K. In-Kind Redemptions:

In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund 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 year ended October 31, 2009, The Emerging Markets Series realized net gains of $17,805 (in thousands) of in-kind redemptions.

L. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 (181), 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 (Affiliated Investment Company).

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.

EMERGING MARKETS VALUE PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A. Organization:

DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the “Group”) is an open-end management investment company whose shares are offered, without a sales charge, generally to institutional investors and clients of registered investment advisors. The Group offers fifty-seven operational portfolios, one of which, Emerging Markets Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is included in this report. The remaining fifty-six portfolios are presented in separate reports.

The Portfolio primarily invests all of its assets in Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Fund”, formerly, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc.). At April 30, 2010, the Portfolio owned 95% of the Fund. The financial statements of the Fund are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Portfolio.

Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM II”), a master fund in a master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the Fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. DEM II and the Portfolio will maintain their books and records and present their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.

On January 29, 2008, Class R2 shares commenced operations. As of April 30, 2010, Class R1 has 100,000,000 authorized shares and has not commenced operations.

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 Group 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 Fund.

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

 

206


2.    Deferred Compensation Plan:    Each eligible Director of the Group 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 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 April 30, 2010, 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 $209 (in thousands).

Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election to defer compensation (the “Notice”) to elect to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). Robert C. Merton resigned from the Board of the Fund on December 1, 2009 and received a lump sum payment of the proceeds of his deferred fee account on January 4, 2010 in the amount of $241,764. As of April 30, 2010, no other Directors have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.

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 foreign currency from the Fund, 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.

Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of the Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of the Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.

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 the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.40% of average daily net assets.

Pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Class R2 Shares of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, the Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the Portfolio’s direct expenses (excluding management fees and custodian fees) to the extent necessary to limit the expenses of the Class R2 Shares of the Portfolio to 0.96% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized expenses of the Portfolio are less than 0.96% of its average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized expenses to exceed 0.96% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor

 

207


more than thirty-six months before the date of such recovery. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect until March 1, 2011, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter, unless terminated by the Group or the Advisor. At April 30, 2010, there were no fees subject to future recovery by the Advisor.

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:

Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Group; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Group. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Group to the CCO were $108 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the Portfolio is 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 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 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 the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

At October 31, 2009, the following net investment income and short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal income tax purposes are due to the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):

For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio 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 no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.

At April 30, 2010, 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

(Depreciation)
$6,543,553   $2,595,425   $137,635   $2,733,060

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 taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Portfolios’ financial statements. No Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM II”), a master fund in a master-feeder structure with one RIC feeder (Emerging Markets Value Portfolio) and other direct client investors, made a “Check-the-Box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change their federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. DEM II and the Portfolio will maintain their books and records and present their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for investment partnerships. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities on October 31, 2009 to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Since the master fund has a shareholder owning 80% or more of the fund’s shares, and also has shareholders owning less than 80%, the transaction creates a non-taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §332, for those owning more than 80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §331, for those shareholders owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of the master fund was October 31, 2009.

For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss relative to the investment of the less than 80% shareholders as if the master’s investment securities were sold to those shareholders and, pursuant to Code §331, each of those shareholders recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. Pursuant to Code §334(a), each of these shareholders will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date. In regards to the shareholder owning 80% or more of the master fund, pursuant to Code §332(a), the shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to Code §332(c), a portion of the deemed distribution, which otherwise would have been tax-free as discussed above, since it is utilized by the master fund to satisfy its dividends paid deduction for the tax year, must be recognized and treated as a dividend by the 80% or greater shareholder. Pursuant to Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, the 80% or greater shareholder’s basis and holding period in the securities received in liquidation is the same as it was in the possession of the master.

As a result of the transaction, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund recognized a $104,402,506 and ($16,523) capital gain and currency loss respectively, for the tax year ended October 31, 2009.

Emerging Markets Value Portfolio which was impacted by the “Check the Box” election also had a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to the Portfolio’s net assets or net asset value per share. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the effective “Check the Box” election date.

F. Line of Credit:

The Portfolio, 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 rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. 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

 

210


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 six months ended April 30, 2010.

The Portfolio, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2010 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 for the line of credit expires on January 15, 2011. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line credit during the six months ended April 30, 2010.

G. Shareholder Servicing Fees:

The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.

H. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:

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

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

I. Other:

At April 30, 2010, one shareholder held approximately 83% of the outstanding shares of Class R2 Shares and two shareholders held 28% of the outstanding shares of the Institutional Class Shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders of the Institutional Class Shares is an omnibus account, which typically holds shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

J. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND

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.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND

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 Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, 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. Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on March 31, 2010. 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.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

A. Organization:

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. (“DEM I”) was organized as a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Effective November 21, 1997, DEM I was reorganized as an open-end management investment company. On October 27, 2009, the Board of Directors and shareholders of DEM I approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization that provided for the reorganization of DEM I from a Maryland corporation to a Delaware statutory trust. Effective October 30, 2009, DEM I transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM II” or the “Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, in a tax-free exchange under IRC §368(a)(1)(F).

Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM II”), a master fund in a master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the Fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. DEM II and Emerging Markets Value Portfolio (“Portfolio”) will maintain their books and records and present their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.

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 Fund 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:    Securities held by the Fund (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.

The Fund will also fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value

 

223


of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Fund prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the Fund utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Fund’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.

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

The Fund 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments 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.

2.    Foreign Currency Translation:    Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked to market based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.

The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held whether realized or unrealized.

Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3.    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 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 April 30, 2010, 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 $222 (in thousands).

 

224


Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election to defer compensation (the “Notice”) to elect to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board of the Fund (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). Robert C. Merton resigned from the Board of the Fund on December 1, 2009 and received a lump sum payment of the proceeds of his deferred fee account on January 4, 2010 in the amount of $241,764. As of April 30, 2010, no other Directors have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.

4.    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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are directly charged.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investment in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The Fund’s investments in Chile are subject to governmental taxes on investment income. Such taxes are due when currencies are repatriated from the country. The Fund accrues for taxes on income as the income is earned.

The Fund’s investments in Thailand are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Fund accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. The Fund is also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.

C. Investment Advisor:

Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Fund’s advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% 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 Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $10 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Fund are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

 

225


D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Fund made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):

 

Purchases

   $ 1,353,311

Sales

     865,639

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

E. Federal Income Taxes:

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series’ are treated as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to their respective partners.

Some of the Fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies” for which any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net investment income for tax purposes. At October 31, 2009, the Fund had cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) of $1,247 (in thousands) to be included in distributable net investment income for federal tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2009, realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies totaling $428 (in thousands) have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to accumulated net investment income for federal tax purposes.

At April 30, 2010, 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)
$8,195,763   $2,895,532   $(609,442)   $2,286,090

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 taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund 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 Fund federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM II”), a master fund in a master-feeder structure with one RIC feeder and other direct client investors has made a “Check-the-Box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change their federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. DEM II and the Portfolio will maintain their books and records and present their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for investment partnerships. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities on October 31, 2009 to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Since the master fund has a shareholder owning 80% or more of the fund’s shares, and also has shareholders owning less than 80%, the transaction creates a non-taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §332, for those owning more than 80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §331, for those shareholders owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of the Master Fund was October 31, 2009.

For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss relative to the investment of the less than 80% shareholders as if the master’s investment securities were sold to those shareholders and, pursuant to Code §331, each of those shareholders recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in

 

226


the master. Pursuant to Code §334(a), each of these shareholders will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date. In regards to the shareholder owning 80% or more of the master fund, pursuant to Code §332(a), the shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to Code §332(c), a portion of the deemed distribution, which otherwise would have been tax-free as discussed above, since it is utilized by the master fund to satisfy its dividends paid deduction for the tax year, must be recognized and treated as a dividend by the 80% or greater shareholder. Pursuant to Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, the 80% or greater shareholder’s basis and holding period in the securities received in liquidation is the same as it was in the possession of the master.

The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.

As a result of the transaction, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund recognized a $104,402,506 and ($16,523) capital gain and currency loss respectively, for tax year ended October 31, 2009.

Emerging Markets Value Portfolio which was impacted by the “Check the Box” election also had a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to the Portfolio’s net assets or net asset value per share. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the effective “Check the Box” election date.

F. Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, the Fund 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 Fund 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 or with the Fund’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 April 30, 2010.

2.    Foreign Market Risks:    Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited.

 

227


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 Fund.

3.    Futures Contracts:    The Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund 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.

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 Fund could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Fund 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.

Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period.

At April 30, 2010, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

G. 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 of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. 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 Fund under this line of credit during the six months ended April 30, 2010.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2010 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 for the line of credit expires on January 15, 2011.

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, borrowings by the Fund under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentage and days):

There were no outstanding borrowings by the Fund under this line of credit as of April 30, 2010.

H. Securities Lending:

As of April 30, 2010, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Fund received cash collateral. The Fund 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 required 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 Fund’s 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 Fund or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities.

Subject to its stated investment policy, the Fund will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. The Fund also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Fund 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 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.

J. In-Kind Redemptions:

In accordance with guidelines described in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of Fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Fund 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

 

229


for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund realized $25,938 (in thousands) of net gain.

K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

At the Board meeting held on December 19, 2009 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and the Board of Trustees of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (together, the “Board”) considered the continuation of the investment advisory/management agreements for each portfolio or series (collectively, the “Funds”) and, if applicable, a Fund’s sub-advisory agreements. For certain Funds, Dimensional Fund Advisors Ltd. or DFA Australia Limited serve as a sub-advisor. (The investment advisory/management agreements and the sub-advisory agreements are referred to as the “Advisory Agreements,” and the Advisor and sub-advisors are referred to as the “Advisor.”)

Prior to the Meeting, independent counsel to the Independent Board Members sent to the Advisor a request for information, which identified the information that the Independent Board Members wished to receive in order to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members met with their independent counsel in advance of the Meeting to discuss the materials provided by the Advisor, the independent reports prepared by Lipper, Inc. (the “Lipper Reports”), and issues related to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. Also in advance of the Meeting, management provided additional materials to address and respond to questions that the Independent Board Members posed after their review and analysis of materials provided by the Advisor and the Lipper Reports.

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors when considering the continuation of each Advisory Agreement for a Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor to each Fund; (ii) the performance of each Fund and the Advisor; (iii) the fees and expenses borne by each Fund; (iv) the profitability realized by the Advisor from the relationship with each Fund; and (v) whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to each Fund as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of the advisory fee charged.

When considering the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to a Fund, the Board reviewed: (a) the scope and depth of the Advisor’s organization; (b) the experience and expertise of its investment professionals currently providing management services to the Fund; and (c) the Advisor’s investment advisory capabilities. The Board evaluated the Advisor’s portfolio management process and discussed the unique features of the Advisor’s investment approach. The Board also considered the nature and character of non-investment management services provided by the Advisor. After analyzing the caliber of services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of the Fund and met the needs of the shareholders of the Fund.

In considering the performance of each Fund, the Board analyzed the Lipper Reports, which compared the performance of each Fund with other funds in its respective peer group and peer universe. The Board also reviewed the performance analysis prepared by the Advisor, which presented the performance of each Fund and its benchmark index, over multiple performance periods, along with the Advisor’s explanation of the performance. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s explanations provided a sound basis for understanding the comparative performance of the Funds. The Board noted that the Advisor’s investment style and methodologies in managing the Funds are not designed to track traditional indexes. As a result, it is expected that certain Funds will underperform their Lipper-designated peer funds and that reporting results will diverge from market indexes, while other Funds may outperform their Lipper-designated peer funds and market indexes for the same periods. The Board determined, among other things, that the performance of each Fund was reasonable as compared with relevant performance standards and appropriate market indexes.

When considering the fees and expenses borne by each Fund, and considering the reasonableness of the management fees paid to the Advisor in light of the services provided to the Fund and any additional benefits received by the Advisor in connection with providing such services, the Board compared the fees charged by the Advisor to the Fund to the fees charged to the funds in its peer group for comparable services as provided in the Lipper Reports. The Board concluded that the advisory fees and total expenses of each Fund over various periods

 

232


were favorable in relation to those of its peer funds, and that the advisory fees were fair, both on an absolute basis and in comparison with the fees of other funds identified in the peer groups and the industry at large. The Board also noted that significant reductions in the non-management fees charged by the Funds’ administrator and transfer agent have been negotiated by management over the course of the last four years.

The Board considered the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and income. The Board reviewed the overall profitability of the Advisor, and the compensation that it received for providing services to each Fund, including administrative fees paid by the feeder portfolios. The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor of managing the Funds and other “non-1940 Act registered” investment vehicles. Upon closely examining the Advisor’s profitability, the Board concluded, among other things, that it was reasonable.

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to each Fund as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of advisory fees charged. For several reasons, the Board concluded that economies of scale and the reflection of such economies of scale in the level of advisory fees charged were inapplicable to each Fund at the present time, due to the current level of fees and expenses and the profitability of the Fund.

After full consideration of the factors discussed above, with no single factor identified as being of paramount importance, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, with the assistance of independent counsel, concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
