A joint special meeting of shareholders for the Dimensional Funds will be held at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, on Wednesday, December 29, 2021, in a virtual meeting format. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting virtually, we need your vote on the following proposal:
● | Electing the members of the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees of the Dimensional Funds, as applicable. |
Voting on this proposal is quick and easy. You can vote over the Internet by following the instructions included in the enclosed proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s). You also may vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) or by simply mailing a completed and signed proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
Further details on the proposal and instructions on voting are included in these proxy materials. If you have questions regarding voting or the proposal included on the proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s), please call toll free at (866) 406-2283, and a representative from AST Fund Solutions LLC, the Dimensional Funds’ professional proxy solicitation firm, will assist you.

If we do not hear from you after a reasonable period of time, you may receive a telephone call or letter reminding you to vote. By responding promptly, your vote will be counted and we will not need to contact you further. This also saves the Dimensional Funds the expense of additional follow-up mailings and solicitations.

IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
These materials are for a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Dimensional Funds, which consists of the five registered investment companies listed above, including their various portfolios/series (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), scheduled to be held on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, in a virtual meeting format. The enclosed materials discuss a proposal to elect directors or trustees of the Dimensional Funds (the “Proposal”) to be voted on at the Meeting, and contain the Notice of Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders, Proxy Statement and proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) (“proxy card(s)”).
We urge you to review the Proposal in the Proxy Statement. Then, please take one of the following actions below so that we know how you would like to vote:
1. | You may vote through the Internet 24 hours a day by following the instructions included in the enclosed proxy card(s). |
2. | You may vote by touch-tone telephone 24 hours a day by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. |
3. | You may vote your shares by completing and signing the proxy card(s) and mailing it (them) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. A proxy card is, in essence, a ballot. When you vote your proxy, it tells us how you wish to vote on the Proposal for the Dimensional Funds in which you are invested. |
a. | If you simply sign, date and return the proxy card(s), but do not specify a vote on the Proposal, your proxy will be voted “FOR” the Proposal. |
b. | If you specify a vote on the Proposal, your proxy will be voted as you indicate. |
4. | You may virtually attend the Meeting and vote. |
When shareholders return their proxies promptly, the Dimensional Funds may be able to save money by not having to conduct additional solicitations, including other mailings. If you own shares of more than one Dimensional Fund or own shares of one or more Dimensional Funds across multiple accounts, you will receive a proxy card for each Dimensional Fund and account in which you own shares. PLEASE VOTE IN THE MANNER YOU WISH AS DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR EACH PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVE. Please be mindful that each proxy card has a unique identifying number associated with each of your investments in the Dimensional Funds. Therefore, it is important that you vote each proxy card you receive.
Please note that certain Dimensional Funds currently operate in a “master-feeder” structure, in which a Dimensional Fund (commonly called a “Feeder Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in another Dimensional Fund (commonly called a “Master Fund”) that has an investment objective that is identical to the Feeder Fund’s investment objective. If you invest in a Fund that is a Feeder Fund, you also will be asked to provide voting instructions on the proxy card you receive as to how the shares that your Feeder Fund owns in the Master Fund should be voted for the Proposal. If you provide voting instructions for the Proposal for the Master Fund in which your Feeder Fund invests, the shares that your Feeder Fund owns of the Master Fund will be voted as you specify. If you do not provide voting instructions on the proxy card you receive for the Proposal for the Master Fund in which your Feeder Fund invests, the shares that your Feeder Fund owns of such Master Fund will be voted in direct proportion to the percentage of voting instructions received “FOR,” “AGAINST” and “ABSTAIN” on the Proposal by the other shareholders of the Feeder Fund.
If you have questions regarding voting or the ballot items included on the proxy card, please call toll free at (866) 406-2283 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Eastern Time, and a representative from AST Fund Solutions LLC, the Dimensional Funds’ professional proxy solicitation firm, will assist you.
i
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed proxy materials, for your convenience we have provided the following questions and answers to provide a brief overview of the matter on which you are being asked to vote.
Background and Voting Information
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
A Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the various portfolios/series (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”) of the five registered investment companies, DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., Dimensional Investment Group Inc., The DFA Investment Trust Company, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, and Dimensional ETF Trust (each a “Fund Company,” and together, the “Fund Companies” or “Dimensional Funds”) that are advised by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) is being held on Wednesday, December 29, 2021.1 These proxy materials (1) describe the important proposal that shareholders of the Dimensional Funds will be asked to vote on at the Meeting, and (2) provide instructions that you may use to submit a proxy so that your shares may be voted at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions.
What is the proposal that I am being asked to vote on?
You will be asked to vote on the following proposal: To elect members of the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees of the Dimensional Funds, as applicable (the “Proposal”).
The nominees for election to serve as members of the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees (each a “Board,” and together, the “Boards”) of each Fund Company are: Reena Aggarwal, David P. Butler, George M. Constantinides, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie, Francis A. Longstaff, Gerard K. O’Reilly, Abbie J. Smith, Heather E. Tookes, and Ingrid M. Werner. Each of the nominees, except for Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Butler, Mr. Longstaff, Mr. O’Reilly, and Ms. Tookes, is presently serving as a Director/Trustee (a “Director”) on each Board of each Fund Company. David G. Booth and Roger G. Ibbotson, who currently serve as Directors, will be retiring effective upon the election of the Directors by the shareholders of the Dimensional Funds. Myron S. Scholes, who currently serves as a Director, will be retiring upon the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the election of the Directors by the shareholders of the Dimensional Funds.
No more than one-third of an investment company’s board of directors/trustees may be appointed by the then-current members of the board without shareholder approval. Three of the current independent Directors have already been appointed since the most recent shareholder election of the Boards in 2015 (Douglas W. Diamond in 2017, and Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner in 2019). As a result, the departure of any current elected Director will create a vacancy that could not be filled without a time-consuming shareholder vote. If the shareholders of each Fund Company elect the ten nominees for Director, a future vacant Board position could be filled promptly by an appointee, allowing for a smooth transition. Electing the nominees at the Meeting seeks to ensure that rigorous corporate oversight of the Dimensional Funds will continue without interruption.
What role does the Board play? How are Board members affiliated with Dimensional?
Board members oversee Fund activities, review Fund performance, approve policy changes, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the Funds. Board members represent the Funds’ shareholders and have an obligation to serve the shareholders’ best interests. Eight of the ten nominees for election to serve as Directors are “independent,” meaning the eight nominees have no affiliation with the Dimensional Funds (other than their positions on the Boards) or Dimensional management, and receive compensation solely from the Fund Companies in their capacity as Directors. While each Fund Company has its own Board, each Board is comprised of the same individuals, and it is proposed that this will continue if the nominees are elected by shareholders.
1 | Nine portfolios of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. — VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio, VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, VA International Value Portfolio, VA International Small Portfolio, VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio, VA Global Bond Portfolio, VA Equity Allocation Portfolio, VA Global Moderate Allocation Portfolio, and VIT Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio--are issuing separate proxy solicitation materials for the Meeting. |
Q&A
1
Have the Boards approved the Proposal that relates to the Funds?
Yes. The Proposal for each Fund has been carefully reviewed by the Board of each Fund Company. The Board members of each Fund Company, seven of whom are not affiliated with Dimensional, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Boards believe that the Proposal, as it relates to each Fund, is in the best interests of shareholders. The Board of each Fund Company has unanimously approved the Proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal.
Why is it important to vote promptly?
In order to hold a shareholder meeting, a certain percentage of a fund’s shares (often referred to as a “quorum”) must be represented at the meeting. If a quorum is not attained, the meeting must adjourn to a future date. The Dimensional Funds may attempt to reach shareholders through multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the Meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to shareholders who have not yet voted their shares so that the Meeting does not have to be postponed.
Voting promptly will minimize the proxy solicitation costs incurred by the Dimensional Funds. Because Dimensional Fund shareholders bear these costs through their ownership of the Dimensional Fund shares, it is in your best interest to reduce those costs to the Dimensional Funds by returning your proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) to help us meet this quorum requirement as quickly as possible.
Why am I being asked to vote now? I don’t recall such requests in previous years.
Shareholder meetings and the proxy votes solicited at those meetings are infrequent for the Dimensional Funds and are limited only to the consideration of important issues. The most recent Dimensional Funds’ shareholder meetings were held in 2015.
How do I vote my shares?
Voting is quick and easy. We have created four different options for you to vote:
1. | You can vote through the Internet 24 hours a day by following the instructions on your proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s), |
2. | You may vote by touch-tone telephone 24 hours a day by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) and following the recorded instructions, |
3. | You may vote your shares by completing and signing the proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) and mailing it (them) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, OR |
4. | You may attend the Meeting virtually and cast your vote at that time. |
Please note that if you plan to attend the Meeting virtually, you must request the Meeting credentials by following the instructions below. The request should be received by no later than December 27, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., Central Time.
Accessing the Virtual Meeting – To access the Meeting, send a request to attend the Meeting to attendameeting@astfinancial.com. Please include “Dimensional Funds” in the subject line. In the body of the email, please include your intent to attend the Meeting, your full name and the control number located on your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) enclosed. You then will receive instructions to complete the registration process which will provide you instructions to access and attend the Meeting virtually. The Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Central Time. The Fund Companies encourage you to access the Meeting a few minutes prior to the start time in order to provide ample time for the check in.

Q&A

If you need any assistance or have any questions regarding the Proposal or how to vote your shares, please call AST Fund Solutions LLC at (866) 406-2283, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Who is AST Fund Solutions LLC?
AST Fund Solutions LLC (the “Solicitor”) is a New York-based company specializing in assisting financial services firms with matters relating to shareholder meetings. The Solicitor has been hired by the Fund Companies to contact shareholders and record proxy votes, but the Solicitor is not affiliated with Dimensional in any way.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each share (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share (except for the ETF Trust which does not issue fractional shares)) you own of a Fund on the record date. The record date is November 8, 2021.
How do I sign the proxy card/voting instruction form?
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card/form.
Joint Accounts: Either owner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, “Ann B. Collins, Trustee.”
What is a Feeder Fund and how does my vote work in this fund structure?
Certain Funds that are portfolios of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”) and Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) (each a “Feeder Fund,” and together, the “Feeder Funds”) invest substantially all of their assets in a corresponding Fund that is a series of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”) or Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) and has an investment objective that is identical to that particular Feeder Fund’s investment objective (each a “Master Fund,” and together, the “Master Funds”). The Master Fund, in turn, invests directly in securities and other investments. Each Feeder Fund is being asked to vote on the Proposal as it relates to the Master Fund in which the Feeder Fund invests. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each Feeder Fund’s voting rights with respect to the Master Fund shares that the Feeder Fund holds generally must be passed through to the Feeder Fund’s own shareholders. This means that each Feeder Fund must vote its Master Fund shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Feeder Fund’s shareholders. If you are a shareholder of a Feeder Fund, in addition to your votes on the Proposal relating to the Feeder Fund in which you own shares, DFAIDG and DIG also need your voting instructions on the matters for which your Feeder Fund has to vote as a shareholder of its corresponding Master Fund. You will be asked for these voting instructions in the Proposal.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING
Who is Asking for my Vote?
Your vote on an important matter (the “Proposal”) has been requested by the Boards of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”) and Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), and the Boards of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”), and Dimensional ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”) (each a “Fund Company,” and together, the “Fund Companies” or “Dimensional Funds”), in connection with a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders of the various portfolios/series (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”) of the Fund Companies to be held on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, to be held over the internet in a virtual meeting format (the “Meeting”). This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed by the Boards of Directors and Boards of Trustees (each a “Board” and together the “Boards”) on or about November 15, 2021.
In addition, if you are a shareholder of any of the “feeder funds” (each a “Feeder Fund,” and together, the “Feeder Funds”) listed on Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement, you are being requested to provide voting instructions as to how the shares that your Feeder Fund owns of its corresponding “master fund” (each a “Master Fund,” and together, the “Master Funds”) that represent your investment in the Feeder Fund should be voted for the Proposal relating to the Master Fund. The Proposal relating to the Master Funds is identical to the Proposal relating to the Feeder Funds. The Feeder Funds and the Master Funds operate in a “master-feeder” structure. Each Feeder Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in a corresponding Master Fund. Please see the section entitled: “On What Issues am I Being Asked to Vote? – Master-Feeder Fund Structure” below in this Proxy Statement for more information.
For simplicity, actions are described in this Proxy Statement as being taken by a Fund, which is a portfolio/series of one of the Fund Companies, although all actions are actually taken by the applicable Fund Company on behalf of a Fund.
Who is Eligible to Vote?
Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to be present and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting (and, in the case of shareholders of a Feeder Fund, entitled to provide voting instructions to such Feeder Fund as to how to vote shares of the Feeder Fund’s corresponding Master Fund). Each share of record of a Fund is entitled to one vote (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share (except for the ETF Trust which does not issue fractional shares)) on the matter relating to that Fund presented at the Meeting. Each share of record (and each fractional share) of a Feeder Fund is entitled to provide voting instructions to the Feeder Fund, which will vote the shares the Feeder Fund owns of its corresponding Master Fund in proportion to the voting instructions received.
Certain Funds offer multiple classes of shares, including Class R1 shares, Class R2 shares and Institutional Class shares. Not all of the Funds offer each class of shares. Each share of each class is entitled to one vote (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share). The Proposals in this Proxy Statement do not require separate voting by class.
The Proxy Statement and the proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) were first mailed to shareholders of record on or about November 15, 2021.
On What Issue am I Being Asked to Vote?
Shareholders of the Funds are being asked to elect ten (10) nominees to each Fund Company’s Board (“Proposal 1”). In addition, shareholders of the Feeder Funds (as listed on Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement) are being asked to submit voting instructions to each Feeder Fund to vote for the election of a Board for the Fund Company that oversees the Feeder Fund’s corresponding Master Fund (“Proposal 2”). Proposal 2 is identical to Proposal 1 on which shareholders of the Feeder Funds are being asked to vote. For a complete listing of the Proposals that the shareholders of each Fund are being asked to consider, please see Table 1 of this Proxy Statement.
Master-Feeder Fund Structure. Each of the Funds listed on Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement operates in a “master-feeder” arrangement in which each Feeder Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a corresponding Master Fund. Each Feeder Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of the Feeder Fund’s assets in the Master Fund, which has an investment objective that is identical to the Feeder Fund’s investment objective. The Master Fund, in turn, invests directly in securities and other investments. As a shareholder in a Master Fund, each Feeder Fund is being asked to vote on Proposal 1 described in this Proxy Statement as the Proposal relates to the Master Funds in Proposal 2. Pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), applicable to master-feeder fund arrangements, each Feeder Fund’s voting rights with respect to the Master Fund shares that the Feeder Fund holds generally must be passed through to the Feeder Fund’s own shareholders. Under the 1940 Act, each Feeder Fund must vote its Master Fund shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Feeder Fund’s shareholders. As a result, if you are a shareholder of a Feeder Fund, in addition to your votes on Proposal 1 as the Proposal relates to the Feeder Fund in which you own shares, the Boards of DFAIDG and DIG need your voting instructions on the matters for which your Feeder Fund has to vote as a shareholder of its corresponding Master Fund. You are being asked to provide these voting instructions in Proposal 2. A Feeder Fund will vote the shares that the Feeder Fund owns of its corresponding Master Fund with respect to each Proposal of the Master Fund in the same proportion as the voting instructions the Feeder Fund receives from its shareholders. The other Feeder Funds that invest in a Master Fund also will vote their Master Fund’s shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from such Feeder Funds’ respective shareholders with respect to the matters described in Proposal 2 for the Master Fund. Any direct shareholders of a Master Fund also will vote on the Master Fund’s Proposal by voting directly on Proposal 1, which is identical to the matter described in Proposal 2 requesting voting instructions from Feeder Fund shareholders.
2
Because several of the Master Funds have multiple Feeder Fund shareholders and/or have other investors, in addition to the Feeder Funds, it is possible that the Proposal as it relates to a Master Fund will not be approved by the requisite vote, even if your Feeder Fund casts its votes to approve the Proposal. It also is possible that the Proposal as it relates to a Master Fund will be approved by the requisite vote, even if your Feeder Fund casts its votes against the Proposal. The Directors and Trustees of each Board (each a “Director,” and together, the “Directors”) have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between the Feeder Funds and the Master Funds.
How Does the Board of my Fund Company Recommend that I Vote?
The Boards of DFAIDG, DIG, DFAITC, DEM, and ETF Trust unanimously recommend that you vote, or submit voting instructions, “FOR” Proposal 1 and Proposal 2.
How Do I Ensure that my Vote is Accurately Recorded?
You may attend the Meeting virtually and vote or submit your voting instructions virtually at the Meeting, you may vote through the Internet by going to the website located on your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s), or you may complete and return your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) by mail as instructed on the proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s). Additionally, you may vote or submit your voting instructions by touch-tone telephone by calling the number on your proxy card. If you have any questions regarding how to vote your shares, please call AST Fund Solutions LLC at (866) 406-2283, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Proxy cards that are properly executed prior to the Meeting will be voted as specified. If you specify a vote on a Proposal, your proxy will be voted as you indicate. If you execute the proxy card, but do not specify a vote on the Proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Proposal.
If you invest in a Fund that is a Feeder Fund and do not provide voting instructions on the proxy card you receive for the Proposal relating to the Master Fund in which your Feeder Fund invests, the Feeder Fund will vote the shares of the Master Fund that your investment in the Feeder Fund represents in direct proportion to the percentage of voting instructions received “FOR,” “AGAINST” and “ABSTAIN” on the Proposal of the Master Fund by other shareholders of the Feeder Fund.
3
May I Revoke my Proxy?
You may revoke your proxy or voting instructions at any time before they are voted by forwarding a written revocation or a later-dated proxy to the appropriate Fund, provided that either is received by the Fund at or prior to the Meeting, or by attending the Meeting and voting virtually.
What if my Shares are Held in a Brokerage Account?
If your shares are held by your broker or financial advisor, then in order to vote virtually at the Meeting, you will need to obtain a “Legal Proxy” from your broker or financial advisor who will then provide the shareholder with a newly-issued control number. Please note that obtaining a legal proxy may take several days. Requests for registration should be received no later than 6:00 p.m., Central Time, on December 27, 2021, but in any event must be received by the scheduled time for commencement of the Meeting. Once shareholders have obtained a new control number and have submitted to attendameeting@astfinancial.com along with their request to attend the meeting, they will receive a new control number to participate in and vote at the Meeting.
Also, in order to revoke your proxy, you may need to forward your written revocation or a later-dated proxy card to your broker or financial advisor, rather than to the appropriate Fund.
Reports to Shareholders and Financial Statements
Each Fund’s audited financial statements and annual report for its last completed fiscal year, and any subsequent semi-annual report to shareholders, are available free of charge. To obtain a copy, please write to the Fund Company at 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, Attention: Secretary; call collect at (512) 306-7400; or access the reports on the Funds’ website at http://us.dimensional.com/.
PROPOSALS 1 AND 2: | ELECTION OF A BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR A BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF A FUND COMPANY, AS APPLICABLE |
Introduction to Proposals 1 and 2
The following discussion relates to both Proposals 1 and 2. In Proposal 1, shareholders of each Fund are being asked to elect ten Directors/Trustees (together, the “Director Nominees”) to the Board of the Fund Company of which the Fund is a portfolio or series. In Proposal 2, shareholders of each Feeder Fund are being asked to provide voting instructions to the Feeder Fund with respect to how the Feeder Fund should vote for the election of the ten Director Nominees to the Board that oversees its corresponding Master Fund.
The Directors of each Fund Company are responsible for supervising the management of the Board’s respective Fund Company and serving the needs and best interests of Fund shareholders. The Board of each Fund Company elects the officers of the Fund Company, who, along with third-party service providers, are responsible for administering the day-to-day operations of the Fund Company. The Director Nominees for election to serve as Directors of each Fund Company are: Reena Aggarwal, David P. Butler, George M. Constantinides, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie, Francis A. Longstaff, Gerard K. O’Reilly, Abbie J. Smith, Heather E. Tookes, and Ingrid M. Werner. David G. Booth and Roger G. Ibbotson, who currently serve as Directors, will be retiring effective upon the election of the Director Nominees by the Shareholders of the Dimensional Funds. Myron S. Scholes, who currently serves as a Director, will be retiring upon the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the election of the Director Nominees by the shareholders of the Dimensional Funds (together, with Mr. Booth and Mr. Ibbotson, the “Retiring Directors”).
Who are the Director Nominees?
Each Fund Company currently has the same Board. All of the Director Nominees standing for election, except for Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Butler, Mr. Longstaff, Mr. O’Reilly and Ms. Tookes, are presently members of each Board. Each Board is currently comprised of seven Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund Companies, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (together, the “Independent Directors”), and one Board member who is an “interested person” of the Fund Companies (the “Interested Director”). Among the Director Nominees, David P. Butler and Gerard K. O’Reilly are each deemed to be an Interested Director due to their position with Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”). David G. Booth, a Retiring Director, is also deemed to be an Interested Director due to his position with the Advisor. Mr. Booth, an Interested Director, currently serves as Chairman of the Board and upon retirement, will become Chairman Emeritus effective upon the election of the Director Nominees by the shareholders of the Dimensional Funds. Currently, Myron Scholes, has been designated as the Lead Independent Director by the Independent Directors and upon his retirement, beginning on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the election of the Director Nominees by the shareholders of the Dimensional Funds, the Independent Directors have designated Douglas W. Diamond to serve as the Lead Independent Director. As the Lead Independent Director, Mr. Diamond, among other duties: will act as a principal contact for management for communications to the Independent Directors in between regular Board meetings; will assist in the coordination and preparation of quarterly Board meeting agendas; will raise and discuss issues with counsel to the Independent Directors; will raise issues and discuss ideas with management on behalf of the Independent Directors in between regular meetings of the Board; and will chair executive sessions and separate meetings of the Independent Directors (other than committee meetings, which are chaired by the respective committee chairperson). The Directors believe that the existing Board structure for each Fund Company is appropriate because it provides the Independent Directors with adequate influence over the governance of the Board and each Fund Company, while also providing the Board with the invaluable insight of the Interested Director, who, as both an officer of the Fund Company and the Advisor, participates in the day-to-day management of each Fund Company’s affairs, including risk management.

Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Butler, Mr. Longstaff, Mr. O’Reilly, and Ms. Tookes do not currently serve on the Board but were nominated to serve as a Director at the June 23-24, 2021 Board meetings of the Dimensional Funds and are standing for election by shareholders for the first time. Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Butler, Mr. Longstaff, Mr. O’Reilly and Ms. Tookes were each recommended for appointment to the Board by the Fund Companies’ Nominating Committee, which consists solely of Independent Directors. Mr. Diamond, Mr. Duffie, Ms. Werner, Mr. Longstaff, Ms. Aggarwal, and Ms. Tookes were initially identified by the Independent Directors during a search process for potential candidates that was undertaken by the Fund Companies’ Nominating Committee. Mr. Butler and Mr. O’Reilly were recommended by the Advisor for consideration by the Fund Companies’ Nominating Committee.
13
How are Nominees for Director Selected?
Each Board’s Nominating Committee is currently comprised of George M. Constantinides, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Abbie J. Smith, and Ingrid M. Werner. The Nominating Committee for a Board makes recommendations for nominations of Independent and Interested Directors to serve on the Board to the Independent Directors and to the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate’s qualification for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and other principal service providers. While the Nominating Committee believes that there are no specific minimum qualifications for a nominee to possess or any specific educational background, qualities, skills, or prior business and professional experience that are necessary, in considering a candidate’s qualifications, the Nominating Committee may consider the following factors, among others, which may change over time or have different weight: (1) whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board; (2) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial, or family relationships (a) with Fund management, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisors of the Funds, Fund service providers or their affiliates; (b) that may be perceived as being inconsistent with serving on the board of directors of a registered investment company or (c) whether or not the person is willing to serve and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Director; (3) the candidate’s judgment, skill, diversity, and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size; (4) the business activities of the Fund Company, including any new marketing or investment initiatives, and whether the candidate possesses relevant experience in these areas; (5) whether the person’s business background or other business activities would be incompatible with the Fund Company’s and the Advisor’s business purposes; (6) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Directors and how the candidate and his or her academic or business experience will be perceived by the Fund Company’s shareholders; and (7) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof.
The Nominating Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Independent Directors. When a Fund Company’s Board has, or expects to have, a vacancy, the Nominating Committee receives and reviews information on individuals qualified to be recommended as nominees for election as Board members, including any recommendations by “Qualifying Fund Shareholders” (as defined below). Such individuals are evaluated based upon the criteria described above. To date, the Nominating Committee has been able to identify, and expects to continue to be able to identify, from its own resources, an ample number of qualified candidates. The Nominating Committee, however, will review recommendations from Qualifying Fund Shareholders to fill vacancies on the Board if the recommendations are submitted in writing and addressed to a Fund Company’s Secretary at such address as is set forth in the Fund Companies’ disclosure documents. A Qualifying Fund Shareholder is a shareholder, or group of shareholders, that: (i) owns of record, or beneficially through a financial intermediary, 5% or more of the Fund Company’s outstanding shares, and (ii) has owned such shares for 12 months or more prior to submitting the recommendation to the Nominating Committee. Such recommendations shall be directed to the Secretary of the Fund Companies at 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder’s letter should include: (i) the name and address of the Qualifying Fund Shareholder making the recommendation; (ii) the number of shares of each Dimensional Fund that are owned of record and beneficially by such Qualifying Fund Shareholder, and the length of time that such shares have been so owned by the Qualifying Fund Shareholder; (iii) a description of all arrangements and understandings between such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made; (iv) the name and address of the nominee; and (v) the nominee’s resume or curriculum vitae. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder’s letter must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The Nominating Committee also may seek such additional information about the nominee as the Nominating Committee considers appropriate, including information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxies for the election of Board members. The Nominating Committee may amend these procedures from time to time, including the procedures relating to the evaluation of nominees and the process for submitting recommendations to the Nominating Committee.

The Boards have adopted and approved a formal written Charter for the Nominating Committee. A copy of the Nominating Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit B-1 to this Proxy Statement. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Nominating Committee met four times.
The Nominating Committee believes that it is in the best interests of each Fund Company and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified individuals to serve as members of the Board. Each Fund Company’s Board believes that each Director Nominee has the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to allow the Board to effectively oversee the management of the Fund Companies and protect the interests of shareholders. Each Board has noted that each Director has professional experience in areas of importance for investment companies. Each Board considered that each Independent Director Nominee held an academic position in the areas of finance, economics or accounting. Reena Aggarwal, George M. Constantinides, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie, Francis A. Longstaff, Heather E. Tookes and Ingrid M. Werner are each Professors of Finance, while Abbie J. Smith is a Professor of Accounting. Each Board also noted that Reena Aggarwal, Abbie J. Smith, Heather E. Tookes and Ingrid M. Werner each had experience serving as a director on the boards of operating companies and/or other investment companies. In addition, the Board considered that David P. Butler and Gerard K. O’Reilly contribute valuable experience due to their positions with the Advisor.
How Often Do the Boards Meet and What Are the Board Members Paid?
The Boards are responsible for establishing the Fund Companies’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Fund Companies. The Boards of DFAIDG and DIG held five meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. The Boards of DFAITC and DEM held five meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. The Board of the ETF Trust held five meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Each incumbent Director who is standing for election at this Meeting attended at least 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings of the Boards and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Boards on which such Director serves during the Fund Companies’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. The Fund Companies currently do not have a formal policy regarding Board members’ attendance at shareholders’ meetings but encourage Directors to do so. In addition, none of the Fund Companies held, or was required to hold, an annual meeting at which Board members were elected during the Fund Companies’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Each Independent Director is compensated by each Fund Company on which he/she serves as a Board member. The Interested Director is not compensated for his service as a Board member by the Fund Companies. The Fund Companies do not maintain or provide pension or retirement benefits to their Board members.
The following table identifies the amount of compensation that each Independent Director received from each Fund Company and the aggregate amount of compensation that each Independent Director received from the Dimensional Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Longstaff, and Ms. Tookes do not currently serve as a Director of any Dimensional Fund and are each standing for initial election at the Meeting. Accordingly, Ms. Aggarwal, Mr. Longstaff, and Ms. Tookes did not receive any compensation for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Additionally, the table provides the amount of compensation that was received by the highest paid executive officer of each Fund Company. No other executive officer is compensated by the Fund Companies.

† | The Dimensional Funds include five registered investment companies for which the Advisor performs advisory services and for which the individuals listed above serve as Directors on the Boards of such Dimensional Funds. |
* | Under a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) adopted effective January 1, 2002, the Independent Directors may defer receipt of all or a portion of the compensation for serving as members of the five Boards of Directors of the investment companies in the Dimensional Funds. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of the Dimensional Funds (the “Reference Funds” or “Simulated Funds”). The amounts ultimately received by the Independent Directors under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund’s assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any Independent Director or to pay any particular level of compensation to the Independent Director. The total amount of deferred compensation accrued by the Independent Directors from the Dimensional Funds who participated in the Plan during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 is as follows: $60,000 (Mr. Scholes). An Independent Director’s deferred compensation will be distributed at the earlier of: (a) January in the year after the Independent Director’s resignation from the Boards of Directors of the Dimensional Funds, or death or disability, or (b) five years following the first deferral, in such amounts as the Independent Director has specified. The obligations of the Dimensional Funds to make payments under the Plan will be unsecured general obligations of the Dimensional Funds, payable out of the general assets and property of the Dimensional Funds. |

What is the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight of a Fund Company?
The Board of each Fund Company, as a whole, considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at regular Board meetings and through regular reports that have been developed by Fund Company management and the Advisor. These reports address certain investment, valuation, liquidity and compliance matters. The Board also may receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues, either upon the Board’s request or upon the initiative of the Advisor. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board meets regularly with management of the Advisor to review reports on the Advisor’s examinations of functions and processes that affect each Fund Company.
With respect to investment risk, the Board receives regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of each Fund Company’s Funds. The Board discusses these reports and the Funds’ performance and investment risks with management of the Advisor at the Board’s regular meetings. The Investment Committee of the Advisor meets regularly to discuss a variety of issues, including the impact that the investment in particular securities or instruments, such as derivatives, may have on the Funds. To the extent that the Investment Committee of the Advisor decides to materially change an investment strategy or policy of a Fund and such change could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Advisor will present such change to the Board for its approval.
With respect to valuation, the Advisor and each Fund Company’s administrative and accounting agent provide regular written reports to the Board that enable the Board to review fair valued securities in a particular Fund. Such reports also include information concerning illiquid and any worthless securities held by each Fund. In addition, each Fund Company’s Audit Committee reviews valuation procedures and pricing results with the Fund Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with such Committee’s review of the results of the audit of each Fund’s year-end financial statements.
With respect to liquidity risk, each Board oversees each Fund’s liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by investment and other personnel of the Advisor. Additionally, as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, each Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved each Fund Company’s liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Program”), which is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, and appointed the Liquidity Program Administrator that is responsible for administering the Liquidity Program. Each Board also reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the Liquidity Program Administrator that addresses, among other items, the operation of the Liquidity Program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
With respect to compliance risks, the Board receives regular compliance reports prepared by the Advisor’s compliance group and meets regularly with each Fund Company’s Chief Compliance Officer (“Chief Compliance Officer”) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. As required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Independent Directors meet in executive session with the Chief Compliance Officer, and each Fund Company’s Chief Compliance Officer prepares and presents an annual written compliance report to the Board. Each Fund Company’s Board adopts compliance policies and procedures for the Fund Company and receives information about the compliance procedures in place for the Fund Company’s service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are specifically designed to detect and prevent violation of the Federal Securities Laws, as that term is defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
The Advisor periodically provides information to the Board relevant to enterprise risk management describing the way in which certain risks are managed at the complex-wide level by the Advisor. Such presentations include areas such as counter-party risk, material fund vendor or service provider risk, investment risk, reputational risk, personnel risk and business continuity risk.
Who are the Executive Officers of the Fund Companies?
Officers of the Fund Companies are appointed by the Boards and serve at the pleasure of the Boards. Exhibit B-2 to this Proxy Statement identifies the executive officers of the Fund Companies, and provides the name, year of birth, information regarding positions with the Fund Companies and the principal occupation for each officer of the Fund Companies. The address of each officer is 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746.
20
What are the Standing Committees of the Boards?
The Board of each Fund Company has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Investment Strategy Committee (the “Strategy Committee”). For more information on the Nominating Committee, see “How are Nominees for Director Selected?” above.
Each Board’s Audit Committee is currently comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith, and Ingrid M. Werner. The Audit Committee for each Board oversees the Fund Company’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, each Fund Company’s internal controls, each Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by each Board. The Audit Committee for each Board recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held for each Fund Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
The Strategy Committee is currently comprised of Gerard K. O’Reilly, Douglas W. Diamond, Myron S. Scholes, and Darrell Duffie. At the request of a Board or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new series of each Fund Company, (ii) reviews performance of existing Funds of the Fund Company, and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the Fund Companies’ investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or enhance the investment strategies or policies of each Fund, and (iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each Fund of the Fund Company. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held for each Fund Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Who are the Fund Companies’ Auditors?
Selection of Auditors. The Audit Committee and the Board of each Fund Company have selected the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as auditors of the Fund Companies. Representatives of PwC are not expected to be present at the Meeting, but will have the opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available to respond to any appropriate questions.

22
The Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees disclosed above were approved by the Audit Committee of each Board but not pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
The percentage of hours expended on PwC’s engagement to audit the Fund Companies’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 that were attributed to work performed by persons other than PwC’s full time, permanent employees was not greater than 50%.
Aggregate Non-Audit Fees
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to each Fund Company, the Advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund Company for the last two fiscal years of the Fund Company are set forth in the table below.
| Fiscal Year Ended: | |
Fund Company Name | October 31, 2020 | October 31, 2021 |
DFAIDG | $1,477,288 | $1,455,187 |
DIG | $1,313,133 | $1,315,307 |
DFAITC | $1,318,159 | $1,355,006 |
DEM | $1,295,854 | $1,304,747 |
ETF Trust | N/A | $1,312,643 |
Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund Companies, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee of each Board has adopted Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures as part of the Audit Committee Charter. The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures are set forth in Exhibit B-3 to this Proxy Statement.
What is the Required Vote on Proposals 1 and 2?
For Proposal 1, the Director Nominees will be elected to the Board of each Fund Company by the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast collectively by the shareholders of all of the Funds of such Fund Company, regardless of the results of the votes cast by the shareholders of each individual Fund. This means that the Director Nominees receiving the largest number of votes will be elected to fill the ten available positions.
For Proposal 2, the shareholders of each Feeder Fund are being asked to provide voting instructions to the Feeder Fund with respect to how the Feeder Fund, as a shareholder of a Master Fund, should vote on the election of the Director Nominees to the Board of the Fund Company that oversees the Feeder Fund’s corresponding Master Fund. The Director Nominees will be elected to the Board of each Fund Company that oversees the Master Funds by the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast collectively by shareholders (including Feeder Funds) of all of the Funds (including Master Funds) of such Fund Company, regardless of the results of the votes cast by the shareholders of each individual Fund of the Master Fund’s Fund Company. This means that the Director Nominees receiving the largest number of votes will be elected to fill the ten available positions.
23
A vote requiring a plurality to elect Director Nominees to the Board means that the Director Nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected to fill the available positions for the Fund Company and a Director Nominee may be elected even if he or she receives the affirmative vote of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund Company voting. Because the Director Nominees are running unopposed, all Director Nominees are expected to be elected, as all Director Nominees who receive votes in favor will be elected while votes withheld or abstentions have no effect on the outcome of the Proposals.
THE BOARD OF EACH FUND COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE MEETING
Solicitation of Proxies
Your vote and/or voting instructions are being solicited by the Boards. The cost of soliciting proxies, including the fees of a proxy soliciting agent, will be borne by the Funds. The Funds will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners and soliciting the beneficial owners to execute proxies. The Fund Companies expect that the solicitation will be primarily by mail. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers and representatives of a Fund Company or its affiliates and certain financial services firms and their representatives, who will receive no extra compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by telephone, email or personally.
AST Fund Solutions LLC (the “Solicitor”) has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies, at an estimated cost of $308,000. As the date of the Meeting approaches, certain shareholders may receive a telephone call from certain officers and representatives of a Fund Company or its affiliates and certain financial services firms and their representatives, or a representative of the Solicitor, if the shareholders’ votes and/or voting instructions have not yet been received. Authorization to permit the Solicitor to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of the Funds.
26
If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone or internet, the shareholder may still submit the proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) or attend virtually. Please note that if you plan to attend the virtual Meeting, you must request the Meeting credentials by following the instructions below. The request should be received by no later than December 27, 2021 at 6:00 p.m., Central Time.
Accessing the Virtual Meeting – To access the Meeting, send a request to attend the Meeting to attendameeting@astfinancial.com. Please include “Dimensional Funds” in the subject line. In the body of the email, please include your intent to attend the Meeting, your full name and the control number located on your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) enclosed. You then will receive instructions to complete the registration process which will provide you instructions to access and attend the Meeting virtually. The Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Central Time. The Fund Companies encourage you to access the Meeting a few minutes prior to the start time in order to provide ample time for the check in. For technical assistance in accessing the Meeting, shareholders can email attendameeting@astfinancial.com. During the Meeting, instructions will be provided for shareholders in attendance to submit comments and questions.
Voting and Methods of Tabulation
The vote required to approve the Proposal is set forth in the discussion of the Proposal. The shareholders of a Feeder Fund who do not provide voting instructions to the Feeder Fund under Proposal 2 will not affect the Feeder Fund’s votes at the Meeting with respect to the Feeder Fund’s Master Fund. The percentage of a Feeder Fund’s votes representing Feeder Fund shareholders who do not provide voting instructions will be voted by such Feeder Fund in the same proportion as the Feeder Fund’s shareholders who did provide voting instructions.
The following Funds are structured as a “fund of funds” (each a “Fund of Funds,” and together, the “Funds of Funds”): International Small Company Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, World ex U.S. Value Portfolio, Global Social Core Equity Portfolio, World Core Equity Portfolio, Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio, DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio, Global Small Company Portfolio, Dimensional Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2035 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2045 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2050 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2065 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Global Allocation 25/75 Portfolio, Global Allocation 60/40 Portfolio, and Global Equity Portfolio. A Fund of Funds invests substantially all or a portion of its assets in multiple other Funds (each an “Underlying Fund,” and together, the “Underlying Funds”) in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. The Underlying Funds invest directly in securities and other portfolio instruments. With respect to the Proposal for an Underlying Fund, each Fund of Funds invested in such Underlying Fund will vote its shares of the Underlying Fund on that Proposal in proportion to the votes received “FOR,” “AGAINST” and “ABSTAIN” the Proposal by other shareholders of the Underlying Fund (commonly called “echo-voting”).
The Canadian Small Company Series (the “Canadian Series”) of DFAITC is an Underlying Fund for multiple Funds of Funds and other investors. The percentage of the Canadian Series’ votes representing shareholders who do not provide voting instructions will be voted in the same proportion as the Canadian Series’ shareholders who did provide voting instructions. The Boards of DFAIDG, DIG and DFAITC have determined that it would be in the best interests of all shareholders that invest in the Canadian Series to vote “FOR” the Proposal.
27
Broker non-votes are proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power. Generally, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on a Proposal because it requires a plurality of votes cast for approval.
All properly executed proxies and voting instructions received in time for the Meeting will be treated as present for quorum purposes and will be voted as specified in the proxy. If the voting instruction form is not marked to indicate voting instructions but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction to vote the shares FOR the Proposal. If voting instructions are not received in time, any unreturned voting instructions will be voted in proportion to those voting instructions properly received. In determining whether shareholders have elected a Director Nominee to the Board, votes withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will be treated as shares present at the Meeting for establishing a quorum but that have not been voted. Accordingly, votes withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of a Director Nominee.
Voting by Broker-Dealers
The Funds expect that, before the Meeting, broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Funds in “street name” for the broker-dealer firms’ customers will request voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners. If these instructions are not received by the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ proxy solicitation materials, the Funds understand that broker-dealers may vote on Proposal 1 (and submit voting instructions for Proposal 2), Election of a Board, on behalf of the broker-dealer firms’ customers and beneficial owners. Certain broker-dealers may exercise discretion over shares held in the broker-dealer firms’ names for which no instructions are received by voting these shares in the same proportion as the broker-dealer firms vote shares for which the broker-dealer firms received instructions.
Quorum
With respect to each of DFAIDG, DIG, and ETF Trust, the presence virtually or by proxy of one-third of the shares entitled to be cast on a matter constitutes a quorum at the Meeting for the purposes of acting on the Proposal of the Fund Company. With respect to DFAITC and DEM, the presence virtually or by proxy of 40% of the shares entitled to vote on a matter shall constitute a quorum at the Meeting for the purposes of acting on the Proposal of the Fund Company. For the purposes of establishing whether a quorum is present, all shares present and entitled to vote, including abstentions and broker non-votes, shall be counted.
Adjournment
The Meeting, as to any Fund, may be adjourned from time to time for any reason whatsoever by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present (virtually or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting), whether or not a quorum is present. With respect to DFAIDG and DIG, the Meeting may also be adjourned from time to time (with respect to any one or more matters) for any reason whatsoever by the chairman of the Meeting without notice other than announcement at the Meeting. With respect to DFAITC and DEM, the Meeting may also be adjourned from time to time (with respect to any one or more matters) for any reason whatsoever by the chairman of the Board or the Meeting, the President of the Fund Company, in the absence of the chairman of the Board, or any Vice President or other authorized officer of the Fund Company, in the absence of the President. Such authority to adjourn the Meeting may be used in the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting or, in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes have not been received to approve the Proposal, or for any other reason consistent with applicable state law and the Fund Company’s charter documents and bylaws, including to allow for the further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment may be made with respect to any business that might have been transacted at the Meeting, and any adjournment will not delay or otherwise impact the effectiveness and validity of any business transacted at the Meeting prior to adjournment. Unless otherwise instructed by a shareholder granting a proxy, the persons designated as proxies may use their discretionary authority to vote as instructed by management of the Fund Companies on questions of adjournment and on any other proposals raised at the Meeting to the extent permitted by the federal proxy rules, including proposals for which management of such Fund Companies did not have timely notice, as set forth in the federal proxy rules.
28
Shareholder Proposals
As a general matter, the Fund Companies are not required, and do not intend, to hold regular annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration for inclusion in a Fund Company’s proxy statement for the next meeting of shareholders of that Fund Company should send the shareholder’s written proposal to such Fund Company’s offices at 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, Attention: Secretary, in advance of such meeting, within a reasonable time before the Fund Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials in order for the proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Fund Company’s proxy statement and proxy card relating thereto, and presented at the meeting. A shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at a shareholder meeting without including the proposal in the Fund Company’s proxy statement must notify the Fund Company of such proposal within a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation for that meeting is made by directing such notice to the Secretary of the Fund Company at the address set forth above. If a shareholder fails to give notice to the Fund Company within a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation is made, then the persons named as proxies by the Board for such meeting may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal. A shareholder proposal may be presented at a meeting of shareholders only if such proposal concerns a matter that may be properly brought before the meeting under applicable federal proxy rules, state law, and the Fund Company’s governing instruments. Submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that the proposal will be included in the Fund Company’s proxy statement or presented at the meeting.
Other Business
No business other than the matters described above is expected to come before the Meeting, but should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise, including any questions as to an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies named on the enclosed proxy card will vote on such matters in accordance with the views of management.
By Order of the Boards of Directors of DFAIDG and DIG and the Boards of Trustees of DFAITC, DEM, and ETF Trust,

of the Boards of Trustees of
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. (“DEM”),
The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), and

| I. | The Committee. |
The Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) is a committee of, and established by, the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of DFAIDG, DIG, DEM, DFAITC, and DETFT (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). The Committee consists of such number of members as set by the Board, from time to time, and its members shall be selected by the Board. The Committee shall be comprised entirely of “independent members.” For purposes of this Charter, independent members shall mean members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (“Disinterested Board members”) as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
| II. | Board Nominations and Functions. |
1. The Committee shall make recommendations for nominations for Disinterested Board members on the Board to the incumbent Disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Committee shall evaluate candidates’ qualifications for Board membership and the independence of such candidates from the Funds’ investment advisor and other principal service providers. Persons selected must be independent in terms of both the letter and the spirit of the 1940 Act. The Committee also shall consider the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence; e.g., business, financial, or family relationships with investment advisors or service providers.
2. The Committee also shall evaluate candidates’ qualifications and make recommendations for “interested” members on the Board to the full Board.
3. The Committee may consider the factors listed in Schedule A to evaluate candidates for membership on the Board. The Committee also may, from time to time, establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Board candidates as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate.
4. The Committee shall review recommendations from Qualifying Fund Shareholders (as defined in Schedule A) for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board if such recommendations are submitted in accordance with the procedures described in Schedule A.
| III. | Other Powers and Responsibilities. |
1. The Committee shall meet as often as it deems appropriate.
2. The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the Funds.
3. The Committee shall report its activities to the Board and make such recommendations as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate.
B-1(1)
4. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Committee. The action of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Committee. The Committee may meet in person or by telephone, and a majority of the members of the Committee may act by written consent to the extent permitted by law and by the Funds’ Bylaws. In the event of any inconsistency between this Charter and the Funds’ organizational documents, the provisions of the Funds’ organizational documents shall be given precedence.
5. The Committee shall review this Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full Board.

Schedule A
NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT POLICY
| 1. | The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board. |
| 2. | In nominating candidates, the Committee believes that no specific minimum qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount, or that any specific educational background, qualities, skills, or prior business and professional experience are necessary for each candidate to possess in order to be considered for nomination. The Committee shall take into consideration such factors as the Committee deems appropriate. These factors, which may change over time or have different weight, may include: |
| ● | whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board; |
| ● | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial, or family relationships (i) with Fund management, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisors of the Funds, Fund service providers or their affiliates; or (ii) that may be perceived as being inconsistent with serving on the board of directors of a registered investment company; |
| ● | whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board member; |
| ● | the person’s judgment, skill, diversity, and experience with registered investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; |
| ● | the business activities of the Funds, including any new marketing or investment initiatives, and whether the candidate possesses relevant experience in these areas; |
| ● | whether the person’s business background or other business activities would be incompatible with the Funds’ and management’s business purposes; |
| ● | the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members and how the candidate and his or her academic or business experience will be perceived by the Dimensional Funds’ shareholders; and |
| ● | the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof. |
| 3. | While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Disinterested Board candidates, the Committee will consider nominees recommended by Qualifying Fund Shareholders if a vacancy occurs among Board members. A Qualifying Fund Shareholder is a shareholder, or group of shareholders, that: (i) owns of record, or beneficially through a financial intermediary, 5% or more of a Fund’s outstanding shares, and (ii) has owned such shares for 12 months or more prior to submitting the recommendation to the Committee. Such recommendations shall be directed to the Secretary of the Funds at such address as is set forth in the Funds’ disclosure documents. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder’s letter should include: (i) the name and address of the Qualifying Fund Shareholder making the recommendation; (ii) the number of shares of each series of shares of the Fund that are owned of record and beneficially by such Qualifying Fund Shareholder, and the length of time that such shares have been so owned by the Qualifying Fund Shareholder; (iii) a description of all arrangements and understandings between such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made; (iv) the name and address of the nominee; and (v) the nominee’s resume or curriculum vitae. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder’s letter must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The Committee also may seek such additional information about the nominee as the Committee considers appropriate, including information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxies for the election of Board members. |

Exhibit B-3
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
as adopted by the
Audit Committees
of
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund
Dimensional Investment Group Inc.
The DFA Investment Trust Company
(together, the “Funds”)
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) and the rules (the “Rules”) adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require that the Funds’ Audit Committees (together, the “Committee”) pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services provided to the Funds by their independent registered public accounting firm (the “Auditor”). The Act and the Rules also require that the Committee pre-approve all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional”), the Funds’ investment advisor, and to affiliates of Dimensional that provide ongoing services to the Funds (with Dimensional, together the “Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations and financial reporting.
The following policies and procedures govern the ways in which the Committee will pre-approve audit and various types of non-audit services that the Auditor provides to the Funds and to Service Affiliates. These policies and procedures do not apply in the case of audit services that the Auditor provides to Service Affiliates, nor do they apply to services that an audit firm other than the Auditor provides to such entities.
These policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval, but also provide mechanisms by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Pre-approval of non-audit services may be achieved through a combination of the procedures described in Sections C and D below.
A. | General |
1. | The Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services that the Auditor provides to the Funds. |
2. | The Committee must pre-approve any engagement of the Auditor to provide non-audit services to any Service Affiliate during the period of the Auditor’s engagement to provide audit services to the Funds, if the non-audit services to the Service Affiliate directly impact the Funds’ operations and financial reporting. |
B. | Pre-Approval of Audit Services to the Funds |
1. | The Committee shall approve the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to certify the Funds’ financial statements for each fiscal year (the “Engagement”). The approval of the Engagement shall not be delegated to a Designated Member (as that term is defined in Section D below). In approving the Engagement, the Committee shall obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to enable the Committee to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Committee also shall consider the Auditor’s proposed fees for the Engagement, in light of the scope and nature of the audit services that the Funds will receive. |
2. | The Committee shall report to the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds (together, the “Board”) regarding its approval of the Engagement and of the proposed fees for the Engagement, and the basis for such approval. |
B-3(1)
3. | Unless otherwise in accordance with applicable law, the Engagement, in any event, shall require that the Auditor be selected by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the members of the Board who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Directors”). |
C. | Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service Affiliates—by Types of Services |
1. | The Committee may pre-approve types of non-audit services (including tax services) to the Funds and their Service Affiliates pursuant to this Section C. |
2. | Annually, at such time as the Committee considers the Engagement of the Auditor, management of the Funds, in consultation with the Auditor, shall provide to the Committee, for its consideration and action, the following: (a) a list of those types of non-audit services, if any, that the Funds may request from the Auditor during the fiscal year; and (b) a list of those types of non-audit services directly impacting the Funds’ operations and financial reporting that Service Affiliates may request from the Auditor during the fiscal year. |
3. | The lists submitted to the Committee shall describe the types of non-audit services in reasonable detail (which may include a range of tax services) and shall include an estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees, where possible, and such other information as the Committee may request. If management and the Auditor desire the Committee to preapprove the furnishing of a range of tax services, the Auditor shall provide an estimated range of fees for such tax services for the consideration and approval by the Committee. |
4. | The Committee’s pre-approval of the types of non-audit services submitted pursuant to this Section C shall constitute authorization for management of the Funds to utilize the Auditor for the types of non-audit services so pre-approved, if needed or desired during the fiscal year. |
5. | A list of the types of non-audit services pre-approved by the Committee pursuant to this Section C will be distributed to management of the Service Affiliates and the appropriate partners of the Auditor. Periodically, the Auditor will discuss with the Committee those non-audit services that have been or are being provided pursuant to this Section C. |
D. | Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service Affiliates—Project-by-Project Basis |
1. | The Committee also may pre-approve non-audit services on a project-by-project basis pursuant to this Section D. |
2. | Management of the Funds, in consultation with the Auditor, may submit either to the Committee or to the Designated Member, as provided in this Section D, for their consideration and action, a pre-approval request identifying one or more non-audit service projects. The request so submitted shall describe the project(s) in reasonable detail and shall include an estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees and such other information as the Committee or the Designated Member, as appropriate, shall request. |
3. | The Committee, from time to time, shall designate one or more of its members who are Independent Directors (each a “Designated Member”) to consider, on the Committee’s behalf, any non-audit services, whether to the Funds or to any Service Affiliate, that have not been pre-approved by the Committee. The Designated Member also shall review, on the Committee’s behalf, any proposed material change in the nature or extent of any non-audit services previously approved. The Funds’ management, in consultation with the Auditor, shall explain why such non-audit services or material change in non-audit services are necessary and appropriate and the anticipated costs thereof. |
4. | The Designated Member will review the requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services and will either: |
B-3(2)
(a) | pre-approve, pre-approve subject to conditions, or disapprove any such requested services, or any proposed material change in services, whether to the Funds or to a Service Affiliate; or |
(b) | refer such matter to the full Committee for its consideration and action. |
In considering any requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services, the Designated Member’s authority shall be limited to approving non-audit services or proposed material changes that do not exceed $10,000 in value in any fiscal year.
5. | The Designated Member’s pre-approval (or pre-approval subject to conditions) of the requested non-audit services or proposed material change in services pursuant to this Section D shall constitute authorization for the management of the Funds or the Service Affiliate, as the case may be, to utilize the Auditor for the non-audit services so pre-approved. Any action by the Designated Member in approving a requested non-audit service shall be presented for ratification by the Committee not later than at its next scheduled meeting. If the Designated Member does not approve the Auditor providing the requested non-audit service, the matter may be presented to the full Committee for its consideration and action. |
E. | Amendment; Annual Review |
1. | The Committee may amend these procedures from time to time. |
2. | These procedures shall be reviewed annually by the Committee. |
F. | Recordkeeping |
1. | The Funds shall maintain a written record of all decisions made by the Committee or by a Designated Member pursuant to these procedures, together with appropriate supporting materials. |
2. | In connection with the approval of any non-audit service pursuant to the de minimis exception provided in the Rules, a record shall be made indicating that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the Rules, has been satisfied. |
3. | A copy of these Procedures (and of any amendments to these Procedures) shall be maintained and preserved permanently in an easily accessible place. The written records referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Section F shall be maintained and preserved for six years from the end of the fiscal year in which the actions recorded were taken, for at least the first two years in an easily accessible location. |
