                                                                   PROPRIETARY

                          CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS FOR

                     DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
                    DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND

I.    COVERED OFFICERS AND PURPOSES OF THE CODE
      _________________________________________

   The Boards of Directors/Trustees (together, the "Boards") of DFA Investment
Dimensions Group Inc., Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, Dimensional
Investment Group Inc. and The DFA Investment Trust Company (each a "Fund," and
together, the "Funds") have adopted this Code of Business Ethics for Principal
Executive and Financial Officers (the "Code"). The Code applies to the Funds'
principal executive officers and principal financial officers (together, the
"Covered Officers"), and is adopted to promote:

   .   honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of conflicts
       of interest;

   .   full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports
       and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities
       and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and in other public communications
       made by the Funds;

   .   compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

   .   the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to the
       appropriate person(s) identified in the Code; and

   .   accountability for adherence to the Code.

II.   COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD "ADHERE TO A HIGH STANDARD OF BUSINESS ETHICS"
      ______________________________________________________________________

   Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Funds to adhere to a high standard
of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to
actual, as well as apparent, conflicts of interests.

   Each Covered Officer shall:

   .   observe all laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting
       standards and Fund policies;

   .   adhere to a high standard of business ethics; and

   .   place the interests of the Funds before the Covered Officer's own
       personal interests.

   All activities of Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these
fiduciary standards.

III.  COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
      ______________________________________________________________

   GUIDING PRINCIPLES. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's
private interests interfere with the interests of, or his service to, the
Funds. A conflict of interest can arise when a Covered Officer takes actions or
has interests that may make it difficult to perform his Fund work objectively
and effectively. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered
Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a
result of his positions with the Funds. In addition, the Funds must be
sensitive to situations that create apparent, if not actual, conflicts of
interest. Service to the Funds should not be subordinated to personal gain and
advantage.

   Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the
relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds that already are subject
to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage
in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other
property) with the Funds because of the Covered Officers' status as "affiliated
persons" of the Funds. The compliance programs and procedures of the Funds and
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, the Funds' investment advisor and administrator
(the "Advisor"), are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations
of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or
replace those compliance programs and procedures. Covered Officers must in all
cases comply with applicable statutes and regulations.

   Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal
benefit, conflicts of interest arise from, or as a result of, the contractual
relationships between the Funds and the Advisor, of which the Covered Officers
are also officers or employees. As a result, it is recognized by the Boards
that, subject to the Advisor's fiduciary duties to the Funds, the Covered
Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the
Funds or for the Advisor, or for both), be involved in establishing policies
and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Advisor and
the Funds. The Boards recognize that the participation of the Covered Officers
in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationships between the
Funds and the Advisor, and is consistent with the expectation of the Boards of
the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the
Funds. Such participation, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of
the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled
ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Boards that the Covered
Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment
companies advised by the Advisor and covered by this or other Codes.

   Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts
of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act.
In reading the following examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, the
Covered Officers should keep in mind that such a list cannot be exhaustive by
covering every possible scenario. It follows that the overarching
principle--that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed
improperly before the interest of a Fund--should be the guiding principle in
all circumstances.

   Each Covered Officer must:

   .   avoid conflicts of interest whenever possible;

   .   handle any actual or apparent conflict of interest ethically;

 1052_9                               2                                   LOGO



   .   not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to
       influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Funds
       whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of
       the Funds;

   .   not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the
       individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the
       benefit of the Funds;

   .   not use material, non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or
       contemplated for the Funds to profit personally, or to cause others to
       profit, by the market effect of such transactions; and

   .   as described in more detail below, discuss any material transaction or
       relationship, which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a
       conflict of interest, with the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds
       (the "Designated Ethics Officer"). In the event the Chief Compliance
       Officer of the Funds is not available, the Chairman of the Audit
       Committee may take action required hereunder of the Designated Ethics
       Officer.

   There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be
discussed with the Designated Ethics Officer, if material. Examples of these
situations include:

   .   any outside business activity that detracts from an individual's ability
       to devote appropriate time and attention to his responsibilities with
       the Funds;

   .   service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

   .   the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

   .   the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Funds
       have current or prospective business dealings, unless such entertainment
       is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and
       place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

   .   being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence
       on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member;

   .   any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship
       with, any of the Funds' service providers, other than the Advisor and
       DFA Securities Inc. ("DFAS"), or any affiliated person thereof; and

   .   a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction
       charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions
       or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from
       the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity
       ownership.

IV.   DISCLOSURE
      __________

   Each Covered Officer is required to be familiar and comply with the Funds'
disclosure controls and procedures so that the Funds' subject reports and
documents filed with the SEC comply in all material respects with the
applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules. In addition, each Covered
Officer having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or
the Funds' other public

 1052_9                               3                                   LOGO



communications should, to the extent appropriate within his area of
responsibility, consult with other Fund officers and employees and take other
appropriate steps regarding these disclosures with the goal of making full,
fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

   Each Covered Officer:

   .   must familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements applicable to
       the Funds as well as the business and financial operations of the Funds;
       and

   .   must not knowingly misrepresent, or intentionally cause others to
       misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether within or outside
       the Funds, including to the Funds' directors/trustees and auditors, and
       to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

V.    COMPLIANCE
      __________

   It is the Funds' policy to comply with all applicable laws and governmental
rules and regulations. It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to
adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and
regulations, including those relating to affiliated transactions, accounting
and auditing matters.

VI.   REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY
      ____________________________

   Each Covered Officer must:

   .   upon adoption of the Code, affirm in writing to the Designated Ethics
       Officer that he has received, read, and understands the Code;

   .   annually thereafter affirm to the Designated Ethics Officer that he has
       received, read and understands the Code and has complied with the
       requirements of the Code;

   .   not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer for reports of
       potential violations that are made in good faith; and

   .   notify the Designated Ethics Officer promptly if the Covered Officer
       knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a
       violation of this Code.

   The Designated Ethics Officer is responsible for applying the provisions of
the Code to specific situations in which questions arise under the Code, and
the Designated Ethics Officer has the authority to interpret this Code in any
particular situation. The Designated Ethics Officer is authorized (and
encouraged) to consult, as appropriate, with the Audit Committee of the Funds,
the members of the Boards who are not "interested persons" (together, the
"Independent Directors"), and counsel to the Funds and the Independent
Directors.

   The Funds will comply with the following procedures in investigating and
enforcing this Code:

   .   the Designated Ethics Officer will take all appropriate action to
       investigate any violations and potential violations reported to him;

 1052_9                               4                                   LOGO



   .   violations and potential violations will be reported to the Audit
       Committee after such investigation;

   .   if the Audit Committee determines that a violation of this Code has
       occurred, the Audit Committee will consider appropriate action, which
       may include the review of, and necessary modifications to, applicable
       policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the
       Advisor or the Advisor's board of directors; or recommending the
       dismissal of the Covered Officer;

   .   appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of
       censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other
       serious violations of law, notification of the SEC or other appropriate
       law enforcement authorities;

   .   the Audit Committee will report to the Boards any action (whether
       disciplinary, preventive or otherwise) taken to address violations of
       this Code;

   .   the Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers and
       determining sanctions, as appropriate; and

   .   any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be
       disclosed on Form N-CSR as provided by SEC rules.
