The US Core Equity 2 Portfolio is a no-load mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio seeks to purchase a broad and diverse range of US securities with an increased exposure to small cap stocks and those it considers value stocks relative to the market universe. The universe is comprised of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq National Market System. The Portfolio places a greater emphasis on small cap and value stocks than Dimensional's US Core Equity 1 Portfolio. Increased exposure to small and value companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the portfolio's assets in large growth companies relative to their weight in the universe. In assessing value, Dimensional may consider factors such as the issuer's securities having a high book value in relation to their market value, as well as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios.

Market Risk
Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities, and the funds that own them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in a fund will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money.

Small Company Risk
Securities of small firms are often less liquid than those of large companies. As a result, small company stocks may fluctuate relatively more in price.
