See the inside front cover for important information about access to your fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.


Important information about access to shareholder reports

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a Portfolio’s website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio’s transfer agent at (888) 576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through your financial intermediary.

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 and 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” reflects 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 as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. For DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. filed its most recent Form N-PORT with the SEC on March 31, 2020. They are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.

A 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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 used. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with this requirement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

A. Organization:

DFA Investment Dimensions 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 one hundred and four operational portfolios, of which twenty-two (the “Portfolios”) are included in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

Of the Portfolios, seven invest all of their assets in a corresponding series or fund (each such Portfolio, a “Feeder Fund”). Of the Feeder Funds, six invest all of their assets in a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”) and one invests all of its assets in the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each such series within DFAITC and DEM, a “Master Fund”). Six of the Portfolios generally allocate their assets among other funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (each such Portfolio, a “Fund of Funds”). The International Small Company Portfolio invests in five Master Funds within DFAITC. The Global Small Company Portfolio invests in six Master Funds within DFAITC and one underlying fund within the Fund (each such underlying fund within the Fund, an “Underlying Fund”). The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds within the Fund and directly in securities. The World ex U.S. Value Portfolio invests in three Master/Underlying Funds within the Fund, DFAITC, and DEM. The World Core Equity Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio each invest in three Underlying Funds within the Fund. As of April 30, 2020, the following Portfolios were the owner of record of the following approximate percentages of the total outstanding shares of the following Master/Underlying Funds as detailed below:

DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds as indicated and securities listed on its Summary Schedule of Investments.

To achieve its investment objective, each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds invests substantially all of its assets in corresponding Master and/or Underlying Funds as indicated above. The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio may pursue its investment objective by investing its assets in its Underlying Funds and/or directly in securities of companies in the real estate industry. Each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds also invests in short-term temporary cash investments and futures. In addition, each Fund of Funds may engage in forward currency contracts.

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

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 fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 Portfolios use a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts)

 

   

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)

 

101


Securities held by Large Cap International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio, International High Relative Profitability Portfolio and Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio (the “International Equity Portfolios”), including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities held by 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 International Equity Portfolios value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management 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). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 of the Fund. 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 Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time at which 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 pricing of the International Equity Portfolios’ 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 calculated closing prices of the foreign investments on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors 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 International Equity Portfolios uses 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. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities held by the Portfolios are valued on the basis of evaluated 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 that 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 of the Fund. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

 

102


Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the Master/Underlying Funds) are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported by their administrator. The Feeder Funds’, International Small Company Portfolio’s, Global Small Company Portfolio’s and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio’s investments in series of either DFAITC or DEM reflect their proportionate interest in the net assets of such corresponding Master Fund(s). These valuations are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments (except for the Feeder Funds). The methodology or inputs 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 Portfolios whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. 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 Portfolios also enter into forward 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 foreign exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities, whether realized or unrealized. However, the Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio does isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations 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 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 of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio and the U. S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (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: the 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.

The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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 (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The 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 Directors 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

 

103


following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). As of April 30, 2020, none of the 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 and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and from the investment in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of received distributions 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, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.

Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the inception of the Portfolios.

Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of a Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of a 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.

The Feeder Funds, International Small Company Portfolio, Global Small Company Portfolio, and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio recognize their pro-rata shares of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from their respective Master Fund(s) within DFAITC or DEM, which are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.

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. Additionally, 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 Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio, Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio are subject to tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.

Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreements (each, a “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreements for the non-Feeder Funds, and a portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for certain Feeder Funds below, will remain in effect through February 28, 2021, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Feeder Funds, as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by a Feeder Fund. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, 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 assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the six months ended April 30, 2020, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of April 30, 2020, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses (defined below) of a class of a Portfolio are less than the applicable Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee Limit listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the

 

105


expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee Limit that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee Limit in place for the Portfolio. The Advisor, however, will not be reimbursed by a Feeder Portfolio in connection with its Permanent Fee Waiver. The Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, is also 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. With respect to the World ex U.S. Value Portfolio, World Core Equity Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio, the Advisor shall also not be reimbursed for any management fees previously waived to offset a Portfolio’s proportionate share of the management fees paid by such Portfolio through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor.

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 that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, primarily attributable to realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” non-deductible expenses, realized foreign capital gains tax, tax-equalization, non-deductible 90-day stock issuance cost, net foreign currency gains/losses, distributions received from real estate investment trusts and distribution redesignations, were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

ASC 740 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 Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios may invest either directly or indirectly (through their investments in corresponding Master/Underlying Funds), 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. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations 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 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.

Portfolios that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio’s Master Fund that concentrates investments in the United Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the political and economic conditions within such countries. For example, there is continuing uncertainty around the future of the euro and the European Union (EU) following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the EU (referred to as “Brexit”). Brexit may cause greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business confidence, and increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. While it is not possible to determine the precise impact these events may have on the Portfolios, during this period and beyond, the impact on the UK, EU countries, other countries or parties that transact with the UK and EU, and the broader global economy could be significant and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Portfolios’ investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolios.

2. Forward Currency Contracts: The Portfolios listed below may acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk) or to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities by entering into forward currency contracts. The decision to hedge the Selectively Hedged Global Equity 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

 

118


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 forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency contracts. 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.

3. Futures Contracts: Each Portfolio listed below may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. The Portfolios, however, do not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may also use futures contracts to hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount 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 Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolios 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 entrance 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.

Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund on behalf of applicable Portfolios entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and forward currency contracts and typically contains, among other things, provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event and may also include collateral posting items. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted, if any, and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.

 

121


For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table presents the Portfolios’ gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolios as of April 30, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

I. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 8, 2020, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 8, 2020. 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. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on April 7, 2021.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2020. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2020. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the

 

122


line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2021.

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, borrowings by the following Portfolios under the lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the six months ended April 30, 2020, that each Portfolio’s available line of credit was used.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Portfolios may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.

J. Affiliated Trades:

Cross trades for the six months ended April 30, 2020, if any, were executed by the Portfolios pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, cross trades by the Portfolios under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of April 30, 2020, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each such 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 in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolio’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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.

Subject to their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities on loan will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Portfolio 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 or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

L. Shareholder Servicing Fees:

The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 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 Emerging Markets Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.

M. 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 that 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.

N. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2017-08 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020 and management has concluded that the change in accounting principle does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.

 

126


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Portfolios’ early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective immediately upon release of the update on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating implications of these changes on the financial statements.

O. Other:

As of April 30, 2020, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolios’ outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes

 

127


that resolving claims against the Portfolios, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolios’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

P. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The continued worldwide spread of novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) and its impact on international business operations, supply chains, travel, commodity prices, consumer confidence and business forecasts, and the associated impact on domestic and international equity markets and fixed income yields, has caused uncertainty for the global economy and financial markets. While it is too early to predict the impact of COVID-19 related factors, during a time of increased uncertainty and volatility, the performance of the Portfolios may be adversely affected in the near term and, potentially, beyond.

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.

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 and 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” reflects 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 (182), then divided by the number of days in the year (366) 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 allocation of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund (Affiliated Investment Company).

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.

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 eleven portfolios, one of which, the DFA International Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), is presented in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolio is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

The Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. As of April 30, 2020, the Portfolio owned 71% 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.

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 fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts)

 

   

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

 

   

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

The Portfolio’s investment reflects its proportionate interests in the net assets of the Series. The valuation is classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 of the Fund. 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 Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

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

 

140


2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (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: the 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.

The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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 (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The 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 Directors 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 (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). As of April 30, 2020, none of the 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 gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolio are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, 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:

The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolio. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Portfolio’s investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

 

DFA International Value Portfolio

     0.39 %* 

 

*

Effective as of February 28, 2020, the management fee payable by the Portfolio was reduced from 0.40% to 0.35%.

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolio, as described in the notes below. A portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2021, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Portfolio, as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by the Portfolio. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Portfolio had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the six months ended April 30, 2020, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the

Advisor as of April 30, 2020, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Annualized Expense Ratio (defined below) of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount for the Portfolio. The Advisor, however, will not be reimbursed by the Portfolio in connection with its Permanent Fee Waiver. The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is also 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.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by the Portfolio, including the proportionate share of the management fees the Portfolio pays indirectly through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the DFA Short Term Investment Fund, to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis.

(2)

Effective February 28, 2020, the Advisor has contractually agreed to permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the DFA International Value Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by the Portfolio, including the proportionate share of the management fees the Portfolio pays indirectly through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund, to 0.35% of the average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the “Permanent Fee Waiver”). From July 21, 2015 to February 27, 2020, the Permanent Fee Waiver Limit was 0.40%. In addition to the Permanent Fee Waiver, the Advisor has contractually agreed (including for the time period prior to July 21, 2015) to assume the direct expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding management fees and custodian fees), to the extent necessary to limit the annualized expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) to the rate listed above (the “Annualized Expense Ratio”).

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:

Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $20 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.

D. Deferred Compensation:

As of April 30, 2020, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):

 

DFA International Value Portfolio

   $ 242  

E. 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.

 

142


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 that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or losses, or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, primarily attributable to net foreign currency gains/losses, foreign capital gains tax reclass and realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, 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 use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):

     Net Investment                          Distributable

DFA International Value Portfolio

   $ 63,472        —        $ (13,753   $ 60,237      $ 109,956  

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. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Portfolio after October 31, 2011, will not be subject to expiration and will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):

As of April 30, 2020, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

                          Net  
                          Unrealized  
     Federal      Unrealized      Unrealized      Appreciation

DFA International Value Portfolio

   $ 8,989,067        —        $ (2,130,494    $ (2,130,494

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

ASC 740 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 positions and has concluded that no additional 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 more likely than not 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 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Shareholder Servicing Fees:

The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 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’s 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.

 

144


In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that 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.

I. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2017-08 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020 and management has concluded that the change in accounting principle does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Portfolio’s early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective immediately upon release of the update on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating implications of these changes on the financial statements.

J. Other:

As of April 30, 2020, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

   4      73

The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolio, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolio’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

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

 

145


The continued worldwide spread of novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) and its impact on international business operations, supply chains, travel, commodity prices, consumer confidence and business forecasts, and the associated impact on domestic and international equity markets and fixed income yields, has caused uncertainty for the global economy and financial markets. While it is too early to predict the impact of COVID-19 related factors, during a time of increased uncertainty and volatility, the performance of the Portfolio may be adversely affected in the near term and, potentially, beyond.

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 and 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” reflects 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.

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 as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-PORT with the SEC on March 31, 2020. They are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.

A 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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 used. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more specific industry classifications.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY

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 eleven portfolios, eight of which, 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 and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series are included in this section of the report (collectively, the “Series”). The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Series are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”

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 fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 Series use a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts)

 

   

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)

Securities held by the Series, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities held by the Series that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the Series value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management 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). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 Trustees of the Trust. 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 Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Series is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Series may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

 

191


The Series 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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time that the net asset values of the Series are computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series 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 Series’ 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 Trustees of the Series 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 Series uses data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When a Series uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Series’ foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary Schedules of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs 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 Series, whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Series enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. 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 Series do not isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations 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 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 of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (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: the 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.

 

192


The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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 (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice. The 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 Trustees of the Trust; 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 (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). As of April 30, 2020, none of the 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 and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of received distributions 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, using 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 Trustees, generally based on average net assets.

The Series 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. Additionally, 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 are subject to tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual 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.

As of April 30, 2020, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

                          Net  
                          Unrealized  
     Federal      Unrealized      Unrealized      Appreciation

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

ASC 740 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 Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in any Series’ financial statements. The Series are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations 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 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 Series may be inhibited.

Series that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as The United Kingdom Small Company Series that concentrates investments in the United Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the political and economic conditions within such countries. For example, there is continuing uncertainty around the future of the euro and the European Union (EU) following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the EU (referred to as “Brexit”). Brexit may cause greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business confidence, and increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. While it is not possible to determine the precise impact these events may have on the Series, during this period and beyond, the impact on the UK, EU countries, other countries or parties that transact with the UK and EU, and the broader global economy could be significant and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Series’ investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.

2. Futures Contracts: The Series listed below may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Series. The Series, however, do not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Series as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the 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 entrance 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. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Series 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.

H. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:

The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 8, 2020, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 8, 2020. 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. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on April 7, 2021.

The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2020. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2020. 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 $700 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 upon 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 discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2021.

Number of Days Outstanding represents the total single or consecutive days during the six months ended April 30, 2020, that each Series’ available line of credit was used.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Series may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase

 

199


agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.

The Series did not use the interfund lending program during the six months ended April 30, 2020.

I. Affiliated Trades:

Cross trades for the six months ended April 30, 2020, if any, were executed by the Series pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, cross trades by the Series under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. Securities Lending:

As of April 30, 2020, each Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each such Series received cash collateral. The Series also received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):

     357,896  

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 in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned

 

200


securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Series could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.

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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The 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 or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of April 30, 2020:

K. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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 that 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.

L. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Trust’s adoption of ASU 2017-08 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020 and management has concluded that the change in accounting principle does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Series’ early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective immediately upon release of the update on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating implications of these changes on the financial statements.

M. Other:

The Series and the Trust are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Series and the Trust, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Series’ and the Trust’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

N. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

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

The continued worldwide spread of novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) and its impact on international business operations, supply chains, travel, commodity prices, consumer confidence and business forecasts, and the associated impact on domestic and international equity markets and fixed income yields, has caused uncertainty for the global economy and financial markets. While it is too early to predict the impact of COVID-19 related factors, during a time of increased uncertainty and volatility, the performance of the Series may be adversely affected in the near term and, potentially, beyond.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND

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 and 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” reflects 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.

For the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund filed its most recent Form N-PORT with the SEC on March 31, 2020. They are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov; or by visiting 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 regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.

A 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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 used. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with this 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 (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund meets the definition as an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The Fund consists of one series.

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 fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 Fund uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts)

 

   

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)

Securities held by the Fund, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note.

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 within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management 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). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

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 Trustees of the Fund. 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 Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Fund 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. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

The Fund 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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time at which the net asset value of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities

 

215


exchanges and the pricing of the Fund’s 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 calculated closing prices of the foreign investments on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of 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 uses 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. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Futures contracts held by the Fund are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs 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 recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Fund enters into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. 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 Fund does not isolate the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities, 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 of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Fund and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (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: the 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. As of April 30, 2020, the total liability for deferred compensation to Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $527 (in thousands).

The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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 (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice. The 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 Trustees 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

 

216


following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date). As of April 30, 2020, none of the 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 and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an 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 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 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. Additionally, 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 is subject to tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.

C. Investment Advisor:

The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Fund.

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Fund’s investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:

 

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund

     0.10

Earned Income Credit:

Additionally, the Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a portion of the Fund’s custody expense. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of the Fund’s net assets. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, expenses reduced were the following (amount in thousands):

 

     Fees Paid  
     Indirectly  

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund

   $ 628  

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $9 (in thousands) and are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

 

217


D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Fund’s transactions related to investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind redemptions and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands), were as follows:

 

     Purchases      Sales  

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund

   $ 1,534,855      $ 2,097,212  

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

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, transactions related to Affiliated Investment Companies, excluding in-kind redemptions, are presented below.

The amounts presented below may differ from the respective amounts presented in the corresponding Schedule of Investments/Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings, Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Statement of Operations due to rounding. The amounts are as follows (amounts in thousands):

E. Federal Income Taxes:

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund is treated as a partnership 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.

As of April 30, 2020, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

                          Net  
                          Unrealized  
     Federal      Unrealized      Unrealized      Appreciation  
     Tax Cost      Appreciation      (Depreciation)      (Depreciation)  

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund

   $ 17,429,703      $ 4,005,245      $ (2,389,655    $ 1,615,590  

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

ASC 740 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 Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

218


F. Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the Fund’s investment objective 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. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations 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 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 securities held by the Fund may be inhibited.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Fund.

2. Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign or U.S. equity securities and indices, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund. The Fund, however, does not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount 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 entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities or indices, 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. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Fund to equity price risk from those futures contracts.

G. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 8, 2020, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 8, 2020. 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. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on April 7, 2021.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2020. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2020. 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 $700 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 upon 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 discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2021.

*

Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the six months ended April 30, 2020, that the Fund’s available line of credit was used.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.

The Fund did not use the interfund lending program during the six months ended April 30, 2020.

H. Affiliated Trades:

Cross trades for the six months ended April 30, 2020, if any, were executed by the Fund pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Fund complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, cross trades by the Fund under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

I. Securities Lending:

As of April 30, 2020, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Fund received cash collateral. The Fund received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amount in thousands):

 

     Non-Cash  
     Collateral  
     Market  
     Value  

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund

   $ 289,995  

 

221


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 expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Fund could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.

Subject to its stated investment policies, 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. 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 or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of April 30, 2020:

J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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 that 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.

K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those

 

222


annual periods. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2017-08 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020 and management has concluded that the change in accounting principle does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund’s early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13 disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements prepared as of April 30, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective immediately upon release of the update on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating implications of these changes on the financial statements.

L. Other:

The Fund is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Fund, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

M. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

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

The continued worldwide spread of novel coronavirus (or COVID-19) and its impact on international business operations, supply chains, travel, commodity prices, consumer confidence and business forecasts, and the associated impact on domestic and international equity markets and fixed income yields, has caused uncertainty for the global economy and financial markets. While it is too early to predict the impact of COVID-19 related factors, during a time of increased uncertainty and volatility, the performance of the Fund may be adversely affected in the near term and, potentially, beyond.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Each series/portfolio of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) and The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), except for The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (each, a “Fund”) has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program includes policies and procedures reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk (which is defined as the “risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund”) and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule, including: (i) assessment, management and periodic review of liquidity risk; (ii) classification of portfolio holdings; (iii) establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”), as applicable; (iv) illiquid investments; and (v) redemptions in-kind.

Each Fund’s Board of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) approved the designation of the Liquidity Risk Management Committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, each Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), to serve as administrator of the Program (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator oversees the monitoring of liquidity and liquidity risk for each Fund on an ongoing basis.

At a meeting of the Board held on March 26-27, 2020, the Program Administrator provided a written report (the “Report”) to the Board addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the annual period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

The Program Administrator conducted an annual review of the Program and the implementation of the elements of the Program during the Reporting Period in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:

1) Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives;

2) Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and

3) Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.

Based on the information considered, the Report concluded that each of the Funds continues to have an investment strategy that is appropriate for an open-end fund, and that each of the Funds is reasonably likely to be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund.

In accordance with the Program, each Fund’s portfolio investments were classified into one of four liquidity categories as provided in the Liquidity Rule as applicable during the Reporting Period. Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth in accordance with the requirements of Liquidity Rule and as specified in the Program, and generally incorporate analysis from a third-party data vendor.

Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirements, as applicable.

During the Reporting Period, each of the Funds qualified as a fund that primarily holds assets that are highly liquid investments, and, therefore, no Fund was required to establish or comply with an HLIM as set forth in the Program.

On the basis of the review, the Report concluded that: (i) the Program remains reasonably designed to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk; (ii) the Program was implemented and operated effectively to achieve the goal of assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk during the Reporting Period; and (iii) each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors in the Fund during the Reporting Period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At the Board meeting held on December 17-18, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Boards of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and Dimensional Investment Group Inc., and the Boards of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (together, the “Board”) considered the continuation of the investment management agreements for each portfolio/series (collectively, the “Funds”) and, if applicable, a Fund’s sub-advisory agreements. For certain Funds, Dimensional Fund Advisors Ltd. or DFAAustralia Limited serves as a sub-advisor. (The investment management agreements and the sub-advisory agreements are referred to as the “Management 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 Management 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 Access Data Inc. (the “Access Data Reports”), and issues related to the continuation of the Management 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 Access Data Reports.

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors when considering the continuation of each Management 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 management 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 global 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 advisory services provided by the Advisor, including administrative services. 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 Access Data Reports, which compared the performance of each Fund with other funds in its respective peer group and investment category. 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 determined, among other things, that after considering each Fund’s investment strategies and the expectations of its shareholder base, 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 Access Data Reports. The Board concluded that the effective management fees and total expenses of each Fund over various periods were favorable in relation to those of its peer funds, and that the management 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 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. The Board considered the

 

226


BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

CONTINUED

 

profitability to the Advisor of managing and servicing the Funds and the Advisor’s unregistered clients, such as collective trusts, group trusts and separate accounts. Upon closely examining the Advisor’s profitability, the Board concluded, among other things, that it was reasonable and similar to the profitability reported in previous years.

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 management fees charged. For several reasons, the Board concluded that economies of scale and the reflection of such economies of scale in the level of management 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 Management Agreement for each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

  (b)

There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
