The International Social Core Equity Portfolio is a no-load mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of non-US companies in developed markets with a greater emphasis on small capitalization and value companies as compared to their representation in the international universe, while excluding securities of certain companies based on the portfolio's social issue screens. The current universe is defined as a market cap weighted portfolio of non-US companies in developed markets that have been authorized as approved markets for investment by Dimensional's Investment Committee. The increased exposure to small capitalization and value companies for the portfolio may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the portfolio's assets to the largest growth companies relative to their weight in the international universe, which would result in a greater weight allocation to small capitalization and value companies. An equity issuer is considered a growth company primarily because it has a low, non-negative book value in relation to its market capitalization. An equity issuer is considered a value company primarily because it has a high book value in relation to its market capitalization. In assessing growth and value, Dimensional may consider additional factors, such as price-to-cash flow or price-to-earnings ratios, as well as economic conditions and developments in the issuer's industry. The criteria Dimensional uses for assessing value is subject to change from time to time. Further information including the current list of the social issue screens used to screen the investment universe of the portfolio can be found in the portfolio’s prospectus.
