December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|

David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index®. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009
| | | |
Russell 2000® Index (small cap companies) | | 6.46 | % |
Russell Midcap® Index (mid cap companies) | | 18.74 | % |
Russell 1000® Index (large cap companies) | | 11.19 | % |
Russell 3000® Value Index | | 4.55 | % |
Russell 3000® Growth Index | | 17.04 | % |
Further dividing the large, mid, and small cap market segments by value and growth characteristics shows more detail in the performance differences over the period.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.

Master-Feeder Structure
The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchase stocks and/or other securities.
U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio
The U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in S&P 500® Index stocks in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 10.07% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, outperformance was mostly due to the flexible trading approach employed by the Master Fund to gain exposure to the performance of the Index during periods of index reconstitution.

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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,024.70 | | 0.10 | % | | $ | 0.51 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

U.S. LARGE COMPANY INSTITUTIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which the U.S. Large Company Institutional lndex Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The U.S. Large Company Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 22% 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.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of these inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 are listed below (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio | | $ | 785,743 | | — | | — | | $ | 785,743 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1
11
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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $19 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and futures 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor at an effective annual rate of 0.05% of average daily net assets.
Pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Portfolio, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee to the extent necessary to reduce the Portfolio’s expenses to the extent that its total direct and indirect expenses (including the expenses the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of the Series) exceed 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the total direct and indirect expenses of the Portfolio are less than 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s total direct and indirect expenses to exceed 0.10% of its average daily net assets on an annualized basis. The Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees waived by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of such recovery. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect for a period of one year from March 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010, and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At October 31, 2009, approximately $418 (in thousands) of previously waived fees are subject to future recovery by the Advisor over various periods not exceeding October 31, 2012.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
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
12
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to net realized gains on securities were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In-Capital | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains |
$(51,204) | | $(1) | | $51,205 |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $17,347 | | — | | $17,347 |
2008 | | 19,755 | | — | | 19,755 |
2009 | | 18,243 | | — | | 18,243 |
As of October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | Total Net Distributable Earnings/ (Accumulated Losses) |
$2,146 | | — | | $(50,288) | | $(48,142) |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expires on October 31, | | |
2010 | | 2011 | | 2013 | | 2014 | | 2016 | | 2017 | | Total |
$14,821 | | $13,996 | | $1,702 | | $1,944 | | $15,152 | | $2,673 | | $50,288 |
During the period ended October 31,2009, the Portfolio expired $50,824 of capital loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$812,931 | | $104,059 | | $(131,247) | | $(27,188) |
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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s
13
financial tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held approximately 91% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all the subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that the following subsequent event requires recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
On December 18, 2009, the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc., on behalf of the U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio (the “Large Company Institutional Portfolio”), approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), under which the U.S. Large Company Portfolio (the “Large Company Portfolio”), a portfolio of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., will be reorganized with and into the Large Company Institutional Portfolio. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Large Company Portfolio will transfer substantially all of its assets to the Large Company Institutional Portfolio in exchange solely for shares of the Large Company Institutional Portfolio (the “Reorganization”), which will be distributed to shareholders of the Large Company Portfolio according to their interests held in the Large Company Portfolio immediately prior to the Reorganization. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Large Company Portfolio will be liquidated and dissolved.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Large Company Institutional Index Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009. It is available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such 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
THE U.S. LARGE COMPANY SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The U.S. Large Company Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
27
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $87 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. 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 are 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 Series estimate the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.025% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 324,298 |
Sales | | | 294,824 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.

E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to its partners.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$3,858,145 | | $789,949 | | $(876,863) | | $(86,914) |
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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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.
29
Risks may arise upon entering 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. The Series 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.

G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except for percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
2.48% | | $8,245 | | 10 | | $6 | | $14,732 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of
31
the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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 which 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.
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $24,362 (in thousands) of net gain.
During the year ended November 30, 2007, The U.S. Large Company Series distributed securities in lieu of cash for shareholder redemptions. The value of the redemption was $1,099,445 (in thousands) which resulted in a realized gain of $529,199 (in thousands) to the Series.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all the subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The U.S. Large Company Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Company Series (one of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|
David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
16
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Master-Feeder Structure
Certain portfolios described below, called “Feeder Funds,” do not buy individual securities directly; instead, these portfolios invest in corresponding funds called “Master Funds.” Master Funds, in turn, purchase stocks and/or other securities.
Domestic Equity Portfolios’ Performance Overview
U.S. Large Company Portfolio
The U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in S&P 500® Index stocks in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 10.08% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, outperformance was mostly due to the flexible trading approach employed by the Master Fund to gain exposure to the performance of the Index during periods of index reconstitution.
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio
The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Index by using an “enhanced cash” strategy. This strategy combines investment in high-grade, short-term fixed income instruments with an overlay of S&P 500® Index futures contracts or swaps. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, approximately 97% of the overlay instruments consisted of S&P 500® Index futures contracts. Swaps and ETFs completed the equity exposure for the last month of the fiscal year. The behavior of S&P 500® Index futures contracts and ETFs linked to the S&P 500® Index is determined principally by the performance of the S&P 500® Index.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 12.23% for the Portfolio and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to the fixed income component of the Portfolio exceeding the return embedded in the Portfolio’s S&P 500 futures contracts. The Portfolio’s concentration in government agency and corporate fixed income securities with maturities between one and two years had the most significant contribution to the outperformance.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.76% for the Portfolio and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Master Fund’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to the outperformance.
17
The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Portfolio also benefited from composition differences among the Master Fund’s basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.
U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio
The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small and mid capitalization value stocks. The investment strategy employed by the U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio is a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small and mid cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,580 stocks, and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.47% for the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio, 9.36% for the Class R1 shares of the Portfolio and 9.23% for the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio, as compared to 1.95% for the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s deeper value tilt contributed to outperformance. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to value stocks (42% of the Portfolio compared to 33% of the Index) added approximately 3.7% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to performance differences. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to information technology stocks and consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent small and value exposure, added approximately 1.5% and 1.1% respectively to relative performance.
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small company value stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company and value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,634 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.97% for the Portfolio and 1.95% for the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics added approximately 4.0% to the relative performance. Higher exposure to, and differences in portfolio composition with respect to, the smallest stocks added approximately 3.8% to the Portfolio’s relative performance.
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total U.S. market universe, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing wide diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,476 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.64% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on
18
average 9% more than the Index) added approximately 1.0% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also contributed to the outperformance. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 0.5% from relative return.
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total U.S. market universe with greater exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio than the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing wide diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,575 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.66% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 1.5% from the relative return. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on average 17% more than the Index) added approximately 1.3% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio
The U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of U.S. stocks with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio than the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,310 stocks and essentially was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 9.47% for the Portfolio and 13.26% for the Russell 2500TM Index. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to the financials sector, which comes as a result of the Portfolio’s construction methodology which emphasizes value companies, detracted approximately 2.5% from the relative return. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (more than twice the weight of the Index on average) added approximately 2.2% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.
T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio
The T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total U.S. market universe, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio, while minimizing federal income tax implications of investment decisions. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing wide diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 3,177 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months
19
ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.28% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Russell 3000® Index. The Portfolio’s tilt toward value companies caused an increased exposure to the financials sector, which was the worst performing sector of the period. This increase in exposure and specific composition detracted approximately 1.0% from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio benefited from its greater small cap and value allocations and a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. The Portfolio’s exposure to value stocks (on average 18% more than the Index) added approximately 1.0% to the relative return. The Portfolio’s greater exposure to small cap stocks also had a positive impact.
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small company stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,780 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 13.08% for the Portfolio and 6.46% for the Russell 2000® Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a larger allocation to small cap and micro cap stocks. The Portfolio also benefited from its larger allocation to the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, due to the Portfolio’s strategy of maintaining consistent size exposure, which added approximately 1.7% and 0.7% respectively to the relative performance.
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of very small U.S. company stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to very small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,452 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks.

The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a larger allocation to micro cap stocks. On average, more than 50% of the Portfolio was allocated to the tiniest micro cap stocks, compared to 25% for the Index, adding approximately 1.1% to the relative performance.
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities (e.g., REITs), but does not attempt to track closely a specific index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 105 REITs and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the real estate securities market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 0.98% for the Portfolio, 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index and -0.26% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM. Over the period, the Portfolio’s greater diversification than the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM, including allocations to smaller REITs and net-lease REITs entirely excluded from the Index, contributed to the outperformance. Small REITs generally outperformed the broader
20
Index. Composition differences between the Portfolio and the Index across sectors also had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s relative performance.
As of March 31, 2009, the Dow Jones Wilshire REIT IndexSM has been discontinued, and the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM has been selected to take its place as an appropriate benchmark for the Portfolio. According to the index provider, Dow Jones Indexes, the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM uses the same methodology, composition and historical data back to 1987 as the Portfolio’s previous benchmark.

Global REIT Market Review
The publicly-traded REIT market experienced significant volatility during the 1-year period ended October 31, 2009. REITs were particularly impacted by the credit crises that started with Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, as financing became increasingly expensive or unavailable, and serious concerns over both the residential and commercial real estate markets rippled through REIT valuations. The S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends) lost 34.55% from October 31, 2008 through February 28, 2009, which was on the heels of its largest ever monthly decline (–30.56%) in October 2008. The Index then returned 71.68% from February 28 through October 31, 2009, after large amounts of government-supplied liquidity helped ease the credit crisis and restored confidence in the markets. During this 8-month period, the Index saw its largest ever monthly return (+20.9%) in April 2009.

International Equity Portfolios’ Performance Overview
Large Cap International Portfolio
The Large Cap International Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international large company stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,212 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 25.20% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). No single stock, industry sector, or geographical region explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
International Core Equity Portfolio
The International Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 4,785 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets, rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 34.81% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 44% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 18% of the Portfolio on average and were excluded from the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.
T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio
The T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks in developed and emerging markets, with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The Portfolio intends to consider the effects of the realization of capital gains and taxable dividend income. When selling a security, the Portfolio typically will select the highest cost shares in order to limit the realization of capital gains and, when possible, will refrain from disposing of a security until the long-term holding period for capital gains tax purposes has been satisfied. The purchase of a stock may be delayed to avoid dividend income, and a stock may be sold to realize a capital loss, subject to applicable investment criteria. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 4,239 stocks in 22 developed country markets and 18 emerging markets countries. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year as the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity markets, rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.13% for the Portfolio and 34.10% for the MSCI All
23
Country World ex USA Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 43% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 37% of the Portfolio as compared to 8% for the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials, financials, and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.
International Small Company Portfolio
The International Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of international small company stocks by purchasing shares of five Master Funds that invest individually in Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe (excluding the U.K.), Japan, and Asia Pacific. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Funds held 4,201 stocks in 22 developed country markets and were mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the combined average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Funds’ assets.
As a result of the Master Funds’ diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in international equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, international small company stocks outperformed international large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.34% for the Portfolio and 50.01% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Funds hold a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences in the Continental Europe region, particularly in value stocks. The Portfolio and Index held a number of securities in common, but in different weights, due to the different methods for defining size and the Portfolio’s exclusion rules. Other differences in performance resulted from the process of continually rebalancing the Master Funds toward their targets. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
Japanese Small Company Portfolio
The Japanese Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of Japanese small company stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 1,313 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the Japanese equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, Japanese small company stocks outperformed Japanese large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 22.08% for the Portfolio and 24.60% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio
The Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in developed Asia Pacific markets, excluding Japan, by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The
24
investments strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 963 stocks, and assets were allocated mainly among four countries: Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore (approximately 59%, 21%, 7%, and 13% respectively). Country allocations are determined by utilizing the approximate weights of individual securities within a universe of Asia Pacific small company stocks constructed by the Advisor. The allocations do not represent a forecast of future performance and are subject to change by the Advisor. The average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in Asia Pacific equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, Asia Pacific small company stocks outperformed Asia Pacific large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 84.11% for the Portfolio and 90.41% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio
The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.K. small company stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 386 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.K. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, U.K. small company stocks outperformed U.K. large company stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 42.81% for the Portfolio and 51.09% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Master Fund holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio underperformed primarily due to composition differences, a result of the Master Fund’s process of continually rebalancing toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
Continental Small Company Portfolio
The Continental Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in developed markets of Europe, excluding the U.K., by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 1,234 stocks in 15 developed continental European countries. Country allocations reflect the approximate weights of individual securities within a universe of continental European small company stocks constructed by the Advisor. Country allocations do not represent a forecast of future performance and are subject to change by the Advisor. The average non-equitized cash level for period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.

Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities in international markets, but does not attempt to track closely a specific index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 172 stocks in 16 developed and emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified approach, performance was determined principally by structural trends in international real estate securities markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 29.25% for the Portfolio, 31.95% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (gross dividends), and 30.51% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s underperformance relative to the Indexes was primarily the result of withholding taxes, expenses, and a difference in the timing of the pricing of securities and foreign exchange rates between the Portfolio and the Indexes. The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 P.M. London time. Relative to the Index (net dividends), the Portfolio benefited from a smaller allocation to large cap REITs which generally underperformed over the period.
DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, a fund of funds, is designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities in U.S. and international markets, but does not attempt to track closely a specific index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio invested in the DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had exposure to 277 stocks, through its underlying funds, in 17 developed and emerging markets countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

26
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in international equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Over the period, international small stocks outperformed international large stocks and international value stocks outperformed international growth stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 41.42% for the Portfolio and 50.01% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends). The Portfolio holds a large number of stocks, and no single stock explained a significant amount of the performance difference. The Portfolio’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks had a positive impact on relative performance. However, composition differences in the Portfolio’s stock portfolio relative to the Index had a greater negative impact. The Portfolio and Index held a number of securities in common, but in different weights, due to the different methods for defining size and value and the Portfolio’s exclusion rules. Other differences in performance resulted from the process of continually rebalancing the Portfolio toward its target. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
International Vector Equity Portfolio
The International Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with stronger exposure to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics, as measured by book-to-market ratio, than the International Core Equity Portfolio. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,989 stocks in 22 developed country markets and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to strong tilts towards small cap and value stocks. On average, the deepest value names constituted 53% of the Portfolio as compared to 26% for the Index. Small cap stocks, which accounted for 26% of the Portfolio on average and were excluded from the Index, also added to relative performance. The Portfolio’s larger relative allocation to materials and industrials, the best performing industries over the period, and smaller relative allocation to utilities and healthcare, the worst performing industries over the period, also contributed to the relative outperformance.
Emerging Markets Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of large company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of a Master Fund investing in such firms.

As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 654 stocks in 18 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets. The Master Fund’s target country weights are capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 53.39% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s relative underperformance was primarily due to differences in country weights and in the composition of the Master Fund’s holdings relative to the Index. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Master Fund and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.
27
Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of small company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of a Master Fund investing in such firms. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to emerging markets small company stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 2,152 stocks across 16 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets. The Master Fund’s target country weights are capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 91.35% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio outperformed primarily because small cap stocks dramatically outperformed large cap stocks during the period.

The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to emerging market countries, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 2,665 stocks across 18 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets. The Portfolio’s target country weights were capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.
As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 69.47% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a stronger tilt than the Index toward value and small cap stocks, which outperformed their growth and large cap counterparts. Composition differences in the Portfolio’s holdings relative to the Index also had a positive impact on the relative performance. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

Fixed Income Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
U.S. and international credit markets experienced high levels of volatility in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Investor appetite for credit risk returned as the year progressed, and credit spreads narrowed significantly. Over the course of the year the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate for federal funds from 1.00% on October 31, 2008 to between 0% and 0.25% by October 31, 2009, and continued to add liquidity into the financial system through various loan programs and capital injections into financial institutions. Central banks around the world took similar actions to loosen credit markets. The three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a widely-used benchmark of short-term interest rates, fell 275 basis points during the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, while the yield on ten-year U.S. Treasury notes declined 57 basis points. The yield curve remained upwardly sloped throughout the year.

There is generally an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices, such that bond prices fall when interest rates rise. For the fiscal year under review, changes in interest rates and bond prices were more pronounced in some parts of the yield curve than others. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 0.32% for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, 6.77% for five-year U.S. Treasury notes, and 5.57% for thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds.
Some of the Advisor’s fixed income strategies are based on a shifting-maturity strategy that identifies the maturity range with the highest risk-adjusted expected return. When the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to offer the most attractive opportunity on a risk-adjusted basis. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped, maturities are lengthened to achieve higher returns associated with longer maturities. During the period under review, weighted average maturities of most Portfolios lengthened, reflecting upwardly sloped yield curves in the U.S.
Fixed Income Portfolio Performance Overview
DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio
The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of high-quality fixed income securities with an average maturity of one year or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 340 days on October 31, 2009, from 265 days on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 3.80% for the Portfolio, 1.05% for the BofA Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and 1.86% for the BofA Merrill Lynch One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. During the period, interest rates declined but maintained a positive expected return premium. Relative to the Indexes, the Portfolio benefited from exposure to securities with higher credit risk premium. The Portfolio had exposure to corporate and agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of tightening credit spreads. Additionally, the Portfolio benefited from the period of falling interest rates, as it maintained a higher average maturity than the BofA Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and had allocations to 1-2 year maturity securities, which significantly outperformed less-than-1-year maturity securities. The benchmarks had no exposure to securities with maturities of over one year.
DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio
The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and currency-hedged global fixed income instruments maturing in two years or less. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.46 years on October 31, 2009, from 0.74 years on October 31, 2008.
29
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 3.71% for the Portfolio and 3.42% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance of the Portfolio was primarily due to structural and maturity differences between the Portfolio and Index. A higher exposure to government agency securities, which outperformed sovereign government debt, had a positive impact on the relative performance. The Portfolio had an average duration of 1.42 years on October 31, 2009 compared to 1.89 years for the Index, which limited relative returns in a falling interest rate environment.
DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio
The DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and global fixed income instruments maturing in two years or less. It hedges foreign currency exposure on a selective basis to capture the higher interest rates that may be offered in foreign yield curves. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, the EMU countries, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.31 years on October 31, 2009, from 0.47 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 12.23% for the Portfolio and 12.18% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (unhedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance of the Portfolio was primarily due to differences in currency exposures. In particular, the Portfolio was aided by its unhedged Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar and Norwegian Krone holdings.
DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio
The DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of U.S. government securities maturing in five years or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 3.06 years on October 31, 2009 from 3.46 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 7.27% for the Portfolio and 4.56% for the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury/Agency Index 1-5 Years. Relative to the Index, outperformance by the Portfolio was primarily due to structural differences. The Portfolio had much higher exposure to agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of significantly tightening credit spreads. Interest rates declined during the period, but the yield curve continued to be upwardly-sloped and exhibited positive expected term premium. The Portfolio also benefited from a longer duration than the Index during the period when interest rates declined.
DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio
The DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate securities, and currency-hedged global fixed income instruments maturing in five years or less. Eligible countries include but are not limited to Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns according to the variable maturity model. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased from 2.46 years on October 31, 2008 to 3.52 years on October 31, 2009.
30
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 the total return was 7.74% for the Portfolio and 4.26% for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-5 Years (hedged). Relative to the Index, outperformance by the Portfolio was primarily due to structural and maturity differences. A higher exposure to government agency and corporate securities, during a period when credit spreads narrowed relative to sovereign governments, contributed to the outperformance.
DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio
The DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return and current income from investing generally in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues with maturities of between five and fifteen years. The investment strategy maintains a relatively constant average maturity. The average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 5.83 years on October 31, 2009 from 6.37 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 10.71% for the Portfolio and 7.05% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index. The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to a much higher allocation to agency debt, which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of tightening credit spreads. The Portfolio also benefited from the period of falling interest rates, as it had a higher allocation to securities with maturities greater than ten years.
DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio
The DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize total returns from a universe of U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with an investment grade credit rating. The Portfolio emphasizes investment grade obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum. However, the Portfolio will not emphasize investment grade obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum when the Advisor believes the credit risk premium does not warrant the investment. The Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within five years from the date of settlement, and seeks to maintain an average portfolio duration of approximately three years or less. The Portfolio hedges foreign currency risks. The average maturity of the Portfolio was 3.12 years on October 31, 2009.
From the Portfolio’s inception on March 4, 2009, through October 31, 2009, total returns were 7.49% for the Portfolio and 5.24% for the BofA Merrill Lynch US Corporate and Government Index 1-5 Years. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to its significant overweight in corporate securities during the period when corporate securities outperformed government securities. The Portfolio’s average duration remained close to 2.8 years over the period as upwardly sloped yield curves exhibited positive expected return premiums.
DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio
The DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio seeks to provide inflation protection and current income from investing generally in inflation-protected securities issued by the US government and its agencies and instrumentalities with maturities of between five and twenty years. The investment strategy maintains a relatively constant average maturity. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 8.73 years on October 31, 2009, from 8.60 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 17.70% for the Portfolio and 17.15% for the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index. The Portfolio’s outperformance was primarily due to structural differences with the Index. A much lower allocation to short-term securities, which underperformed intermediate and long-term securities during the period of falling interest rates, contributed to the outperformance.
DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio
The DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return from a universe of high-quality municipal securities providing current income exempt from federal personal income tax. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three years. The average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 2.78 years on October 31, 2009 from 1.53 years on October 31, 2008.
31
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 4.32% for the Portfolio and 7.34% for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index 3 Years. Municipal interest rates decreased significantly during the period, and the Portfolio’s relative underperformance was primarily due to its shorter duration.
DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio
The DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a market rate of return from a universe of municipal securities providing current income exempt from federal personal income taxes and California state personal income taxes. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three years. The average maturity increased to 2.78 years on October 31, 2009, from 2.12 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 4.91% for the Portfolio and 5.37% for the BofA Merrill Lynch California Municipal Bond Index 1-3 Years. California municipal interest rates decreased significantly during the period, and the Portfolio’s 25% average allocation to securities with maturities of less than one year contributed to the relative underperformance.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
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, 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” reflect 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. filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more specific industry classifications.
The categories of industry classification for the Affiliated Investment Companies are represented in the Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings, which are included elsewhere within the report. Refer to the Schedule of Investments/Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings for each of the underlying Master Funds’ holdings which reflect the investments by category or country.

Each feeder fund and fund of funds (collectively, “Feeder Funds) invests primarily in a corresponding master fund(s) (”Master Fund“) as indicated. The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio also invests in short-term temporary cash investments.
The financial statements of the Master Funds are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Feeder Funds.
Prior to March 30, 2007, the U.S.Targeted Value Portfolio invested substantially all of its assets in shares of The U.S. Targeted Value Series. At the close of business on March 29, 2007, the U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio received its pro-rata share of cash and securities from The U.S. Targeted Value Series in a complete liquidation of its interest in the Series. Effective March 30, 2007, the U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests directly in securities rather than through the Series and maintains the same investment objective.
Prior to October 23, 2009, the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio invested substantially all of their assets in respective shares of The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Series and The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series. At the close of business on October 23, 2009, the Portfolios received their pro-rata share of cash and securities from the respective Series in a complete liquidation of their
204
interest in the Series. Effective October 23, 2009, the Portfolios invest directly in securities rather than through the Series and maintain the same investment objectives.
Effective February 28, 2009, the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio invest directly in securities rather than through a Master Fund. See Federal Income Taxes note for more information regarding these transactions.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
On January 31, 2008, Class R1 Shares and on June 30, 2008, Class R2 Shares of U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio commenced operations. The Class R1 Shares and Class R2 Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund (the U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, Japanese Small Company Portfolio, Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio, United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio and DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio) contained in this report, had not commenced operations as of October 31, 2009. Class R1 and Class R2 Shares of each Portfolio have 100,000,000 authorized shares.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolios from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio and DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (the “Domestic Equity Portfolios”) and Large Cap International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the “International Equity Portfolios”), including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios value the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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
205
adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.
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, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that 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 time the International Equity Portfolios price their 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 closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund have 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 utilizes 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.
Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Five-Year Government Portfolio, DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio and DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio (the “Fixed Income Portfolios”), are valued on the basis of 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 which 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/Trustees.
Master Fund shares held by the International Small Company Portfolio and the DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio are valued at their respective daily net asset value. The Feeder Funds’ investments reflect proportionate interest in the net assets of their corresponding Master Fund.
The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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)
206
A summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments. The inputs or methodology 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 Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, the International Equity Portfolios, the DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, the DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, and the DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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. Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio also enter into forward foreign 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 DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio may hedge the currency exposure of its foreign securities or leave some or all of the currency exposure unhedged.
The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuation in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities whether realized or unrealized. However, the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, and the DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates 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 both financial reporting and 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios, the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, the DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, the DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, and the DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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 or Other Expenses.
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of distributions received 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 utilizing the effective interest method.
207
Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
Class R1 Shares, 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.
The U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, International Small Company Portfolio, Japanese Small Company Portfolio, Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio, United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio each recognize their pro-rata share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis, from their respective Master Funds, which are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
Prior to June 4, 2009 and October 16, 2009, the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, respectively, recognized their pro-rata share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from their respective investments in the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Series and DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series which were treated as partnerships in accordance with both U.S. federal income tax regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Effective June 4, 2009 and October 16, 2009, The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Series’ and The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series’, respectively, partnership status ceased and each became a corporate master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure. The Portfolios became the feeders of these Funds. On October 23, 2009, both the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio liquidated their investment in The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Series and The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series, respectively. Effective October 24, 2009, the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio invest directly in securities rather than through the Series and maintain the same investment objective. See Federal Income Taxes note for more information regarding these transactions.
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. In addition, 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 Core Equity Portfolio’s investments in Thailand and the investments in Thailand held by the Master Funds of Emerging Markets Portfolio and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio and the Master Funds of Emerging Markets Portfolio and Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. These funds are also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.
C. Investment Advisor and Administrator:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to all Portfolios except the Feeder Funds. The Advisor provides administrative services to the Feeder Funds, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to shareholders and the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services.
For the year ended , October 31, 2009, the Portfolios’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

At any time that the annualized expenses of a Portfolio are less than the rate listed above for such Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio’s annualized expenses to exceed the applicable percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, as listed above.

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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to net realized gains on securities
214
considered to be “passive foreign investment companies”, non-deductible offering costs, foreign bond bifurcation, the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes and distribution redesignations, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

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 each Portfolio’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Portfolios’ financial statements. No Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On October 22, 2008, The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The U.S. Small Cap Value Series and on October 25, 2008 The U.S. Small Cap Series, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, each with a RIC feeder (“the Portfolios”), having 100% investment in their respective master fund, have each made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3, to change their federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a disregarded entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, each master fund is deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its owners, the respective portfolios (the RIC feeders), with the respective portfolios deemed the surviving entities. The final tax year end of the Master Funds was October 21, 2008 for The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The U.S. Small Cap Value Series and October 24, 2008 for The U.S. Small Cap Series. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §337(a), each of the master funds recognizes no gain or loss and, pursuant to Code §332(a), each of the Portfolios recognizes no gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC §332 (c), each of the aforementioned Portfolios has recognized the master fund’s deemed dividend, which was distributed as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income. Pursuant to IRC Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, each of the Portfolios will maintain each respective master fund’s holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed transferred to the respective Portfolio.
223
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
Each Portfolio impacted by the ”Check the Box“ election also has a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. Listed below is the permanent difference impacting each respective Portfolio. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to each respective fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.

For financial reporting purposes, this transaction had no impact on the net assets of the respective funds.
On November 1, 2008, The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure and The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio (“the Portfolio”), having 100% investment in its respective master fund, made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change the Series’ federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a disregarded entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, the master fund is deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its owner, the Portfolio, with the Portfolio deemed the surviving entity. The final tax year end of the Master Fund was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Code §337(a), the Master Fund did not recognize any gain or loss and, pursuant to Code §332(a), the Portfolio did not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC §332(c), the Portfolio has recognized the Master Fund’s deemed dividend, which was distributed as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income. Pursuant to IRC Code §334(b)(1) and §1223, the Portfolio will maintain its respective master fund’s holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed transferred to the respective Portfolio.
224
On November 1, 2008, The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Series and The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with RIC feeders, underlying fund of fund investors (Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series) and other direct client investor(s), have each made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change their federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, for tax purposes, the Master Funds are deemed to have distributed all of their assets and liabilities to their shareholders in liquidation of the Master Fund. Since each Master Fund has a shareholder owning 80% or more of the fund’s shares and also has shareholders owning less than 80%, each fund’s respective transaction creates a non-taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §332 for those owning more than 80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §331, for those shareholders owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to newly formed partnerships. The final tax year end of the Master Funds was October 31, 2008.
For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC §332(a), the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and the DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, having a more than 80% investment in its respective master fund, will not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC §332(c), a portion of the deemed distribution, which otherwise would have been tax-free as discussed above, since it is utilized by the Master Fund to satisfy its dividends paid deduction for the tax year, must be recognized and treated as a dividend by the 80% or greater shareholder. Pursuant to IRC §334(b)(1) and §1223, the 80% or greater shareholder’s basis and holding period in the securities received in liquidation is the same as it was in the possession of the Master Fund. However, any security distributed in satisfaction of the Master Fund’s final dividend would have a basis equal to its fair market value and would be deemed acquired on the liquidation date.
For financial reporting purposes, this transaction had no impact on the net assets of the respective funds.

H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios may invest, either directly or indirectly through their investment in a corresponding Master Fund, 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS): The DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio may purchase TIPS which are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. Because the interest and/or principal payments on an inflation-protected security are adjusted periodically for changes in inflation, the income distributed by the Portfolio may be irregular. In addition, the current market value of inflation-protected securities is not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
3. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. companies, 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolios.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio
226
and DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts only to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk). The decision to hedge a 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 daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolios as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of translation of foreign currency denominated amounts. 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 foreign currency transactions. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolios had entered into the following contracts and the net unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) is reflected in the accompanying financial statements (amounts in thousands):

*During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolios had limited activity in these transactions.
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.
5. Futures Contracts: Certain Portfolios may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Additionally, the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio uses stock index futures to hedge against changes in equity securities’ prices in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio 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 entering 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.
At October 31, 2009, the following Portfolio had outstanding futures contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Description | | Expiration Date | | Number of Contracts | | Contract Value | | Unrealized Gain (Loss) |

I. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.

J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each Portfolio held 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolios’ collateral to be lower or higher than
231
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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to each Portfolios’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Portfolio from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
K. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R1 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.10% and Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 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 U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1 and Class R2 Shares.
L. 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 which 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.
M. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Portfolios’ prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital.
During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Emerging Markets Portfolio realized net gains of in-kind redemptions in the amount of $17,805 (amount in thousands).
During the period ended October 31, 2008, the following Portfolios realized net gains of in-kind redemptions (amounts in thousands):

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers, and the transfer agents of the investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
International Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund“. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
International Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
DFA International Value Portfolio
The DFA International Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.11% for the Institutional Class Shares of the Portfolio, 34.86% for the Class R2 Shares of the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master Fund’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund (Affiliated Investment Company). |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 fifteen portfolios, of which the DFA International Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this section of the report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 72% 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.
Class R2 shares commenced operations on April 30, 2008. As of October 31, 2009, Class R1 shares has 100,000,000 authorized shares and has not commenced operations.
On November 1, 2008, The DFAInternational Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value heirarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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)
260
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | 4,442,243 | | — | | — | | $ | 4,442,243 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $101 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, 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:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets.
Pursuant to the Expense Assumption Agreement for the Class R2 shares of the DFA International Value Portfolio, the Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the Portfolio’s direct expenses (excluding management fees and custodian fees) to the extent necessary to limit the expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less than 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized expenses to exceed 0.79% of its average net assets on an annualized basis. The Portfolio is
261
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 such reimbursement.
The Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect until March 1, 2010 and shall continue to remain in effect for year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At October 31, 2009, there were no fees subject to future recovery by the Advisor.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
Distributions from net investment income and from 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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to a reclassification of distributions, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$2,694 | | $(2,694) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $156,076 | | $ 69,683 | | $225,759 |
2008 | | 218,970 | | 106,309 | | 325,279 |
2009 | | 105,700 | | — | | 105,700 |
262
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) | |
$13,063 | | — | | $ | (1,348,208 | ) | | $ | (1,335,145 | ) |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $1,348,208 to offset future realized capital gains expiring in 2016.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes of $44,756 (amount in thousands).
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$ | 3,454,309 | | $ | 1,035,783 | | $(47,849) | | $987,934 |
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 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 reasonably possible 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 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.

F. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the current overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
G. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 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 Class R2 Shares.
264
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.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which 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. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio and two shareholders held approximately 46% of the outstanding shares of the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically holds shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
J. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DFA International Value Portfolio and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DFA International Value Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned higher sharply in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
272
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Domestic Equity Series’ Performance Overview
The U.S. Large Company Series
The U.S. Large Company Series seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index by purchasing shares in S&P 500® Index stocks in approximately the same proportions as they are represented in the Index. The Series was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return was 10.17% for the Series and 9.80% for the S&P 500® Index Relative to the Index, outperformance was mostly due to the flexible trading approach employed by the Series to gain exposure to the performance of the Index during periods of index reconstitution.
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Series held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
As a result of the Series’ diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.90% for the Series and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Series benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Series’ greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Series and Index also contributed to the outperformance. The Series’ larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Series also benefited from composition differences among the Series’ basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.

International Equity Series’ Performance Overview
The DFA International Value Series
The DFA International Value Series seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Series held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
As a result of the Series’ diversified investment approach, performance principally was determined by broad structural trends in global equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.41% for the Series and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Series’ greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.
The Japanese Small Company Series
The Japanese Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of Japanese small company stocks.

Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors and asset classes. Consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Series and the Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

The Emerging Markets Series
The Emerging Markets Series seeks to capture the returns of large company stocks in selected emerging markets. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large company emerging markets stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index.

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, 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” reflect 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.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which ten are included in this section of the report (collectively, the “Series”), and two are presented in separate reports.
| | |
Domestic Equity Portfolios | | International Equity Portfolios |
The U.S. Large Company Series | | The DFA International Value Series |
The U.S. Large Cap 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 |
| | The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series |
Effective December 31, 2008 and November 1, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and The DFA International Value Series, respectively, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of their respective Holder(s) to change their U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. Each Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International Equity Portfolios, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios value the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
333
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.
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, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that 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 time the International Equity Portfolios price their 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 closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Trust have 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 utilizes 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments. The inputs or methodology 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 International Equity Portfolios, whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies, are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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 International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held whether realized or unrealized.
334
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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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.
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of distributions received 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, utilizing 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 Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The International 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 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. In addition, 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 investments in Thailand are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series accrue for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. These Series are also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Trust. For year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
| | | |
The U.S. Large Company Series | | 0.025 | % |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | 0.10 | % |

336
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.
Some of the Series’ investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies” for which any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net investment income for federal income tax purposes. At October 31, 2009, the following Series had cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) to be included in distributable net investment income for federal tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2009, realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to accumulated net investment income for federal tax purposes. Amounts listed below are in thousands.
| | | | |
| | Mark to Market | | Realized Gains |
The Japanese Small Company Series | | $ 801 | | — |
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series | | 241 | | $385 |
The United Kingdom Small Company Series | | 2,879 | | 256 |
The Continental Small Company Series | | 6,098 | | — |
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series | | 476 | | — |
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |

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 each Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Series’ financial statements. No Series is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For
337
Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278 | ) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. Foreign Markets Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain consideration 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 government 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 by the Master Funds may be inhibited.

Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
At October 31, 2009, the following Series had the following outstanding futures contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, some of the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each Series held cash collateral. 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to each Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, each Series will be able to terminate the
341
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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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 which 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.
K. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital.
During the year ended October 31, 2009, The Emerging Markets Series realized net gains of $17,805 (in thousands) of in-kind redemptions.
During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the following Series realized net gains (losses) of in-kind redemptions (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
The U.S. Large Company Series | | $ | 24,362 |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | | 52,271 |
The DFA International Value Series | | | 103,024 |
The Japanese Small Company Series | | | 1,625 |
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series | | | 4,018 |
The United Kingdom Small Company Series | | | 6,873 |
The Continental Small Company Series | | | 16,564 |
The Canadian Small Company Series | | | (2,616) |
During the year ended November 30, 2007, The U.S. Large Company Series distributed securities in lieu of cash for shareholder redemptions. The value of the redemption was $1,099,445 (in thousands) which resulted in a realized gain of $529,199 (in thousands) to the Series.
L. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Series, as defined, and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Company Series, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, 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 (constituting portfolios within The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers, and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|

David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.

Russell 2000® Index (small cap companies) | | 6.46 | % |

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
3
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Master-Feeder Structure
The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
Domestic Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio
The LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund about 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.61% for the Portfolio and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Master Fund’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to the outperformance. The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Portfolio also benefited from composition differences among the Master Fund’s basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.

Fixed Income Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
U.S. and international credit markets experienced high levels of volatility in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Investor appetite for credit risk returned as the year progressed, and credit spreads narrowed significantly. Over the course of the year the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered the target rate for federal funds from 1.00% on October 31, 2008 to between 0% and 0.25% by October 31, 2009, and continued to add liquidity into the financial system through various loan programs and capital injections into financial institutions. Central banks around the world took similar actions to loosen credit markets. The three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a widely-used benchmark of short-term interest rates, fell 275 basis points during the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, while the yield on ten-year U.S. Treasury notes declined 57 basis points. The yield curve remained upwardly sloped throughout the year.
| | | | | | |
| | 10/31/09 | | 10/31/08 | | Change |
Three-Month LIBOR (yield) | | 0.28% | | 3.03% | | -90.76% |
Ten-Year U.S. Treasury Notes (yield) | | 3.38% | | 3.95% | | -14.43% |
Source: Bloomberg. “Change” values are calculated prior to rounding.
There is generally an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices, such that bond prices fall when interest rates rise. For the fiscal year under review, changes in interest rates and bond prices were more pronounced in some parts of the yield curve than others. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns
4
were 0.32% for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, 6.77% for five-year U.S. Treasury notes, and 5.57% for thirty-year U.S. Treasury bonds.
Fixed Income Portfolio Performance Overview
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio
The LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of high-quality fixed income securities maturing in two years or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. Average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.47 years on October 31, 2009, from 0.89 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 4.31% for the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and 6.35% for the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate and Government Index 1-3 Years. Structural differences between the Portfolio and Index were the primary reason for the Portfolio’s relative underperformance. A majority of the Portfolio’s holdings were invested in bonds rated AA or better while the Index had a relatively large allocation to securities rated A or lower. Over the period, lower-rated securities benefited from tightening credit spreads and outperformed higher-rated securities.
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio
The LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total returns from a universe of U.S. government securities maturing in two years or less. The investment strategy shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. Using current prices, the strategy creates a matrix of expected returns from different buy and sell strategies, and identifies the maturity range for the highest risk-adjusted expected returns. Maturities are shifted if expected premiums can be documented. Average maturity of the Portfolio increased to 1.47 years on October 31, 2009, from 1.42 years on October 31, 2008.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 5.21% for the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio and 3.73% for the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Government Bond Index 1-3 Years. Structural differences between the Portfolio and Index were the primary reason for the Portfolio’s relative outperformance. Over the period, all of the Portfolio’s holdings were government agency debt which significantly outperformed Treasury debt during the period of tightening credit spreads.

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, 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” reflect 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.

* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 fifteen portfolios, of which three (the “Portfolios”) are presented in this report.
The LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio (“Feeder Fund”) primarily invests its assets in The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding Series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 1% of the Series.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolios from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. Securities held by the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio are valued on the basis of 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 which 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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges.
The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
17
— Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| |
| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | $ | 65,935 | | — | | — | | $ | 65,935 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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 for the year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. Other: The LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market 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 U.S. Large Cap Value Series, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolios are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to one of the Portfolios, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to two of the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolios’ administrative services fees or investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| | Administrative Services Fees | | Advisory Services Fees |
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | 0.01% | | — |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio | | — | | 0.15% |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio | | — | | 0.15% |
18
In addition, pursuant to a Client Service Agreement with LWI Financial Inc. (“LWIF”), the Portfolios pay fees to LWIF at the following effective annual rates of their average daily net assets:
| | |
| | Shareholder Servicing Fees |
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | 0.15% |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio | | 0.08% |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio | | 0.08% |
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of the Portfolios are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | $ | 2 |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio | | | 2 |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio | | | 4 |
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolios made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities (amounts in thousands):

LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio | | $ | 57,877 | | $ | 38,941 | | $ | 18,303 | | $ | 11,007 |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio | | | 144,660 | | | 141,734 | | | — | | | — |
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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to the recharacterizations of partnership income from net investment income to capital gain and were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

| | | | |
| | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | $(8) | | $8 |

LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio | | $ | 55,499 | | $11,901 | | $(1,465) | | $10,436 |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio | | | 76,279 | | 501 | | 44 | | 545 |
LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio | | | 134,121 | | 982 | | (8) | | 974 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Portfolios’ financial statements. No Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278 | ) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
Each Portfolio impacted by the “Check the Box” election also has a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. Listed below is the permanent difference impacting each respective Portfolio. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to each respective fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.
21
| | | | | | |
| | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
DFA U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio | | $ | (606,345) | | $ | 606,345 |
DFA U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II | | | (10,872) | | | 10,872 |

LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book To Market Portfolio | | | (7,793) | | | 7,793 |
For financial reporting purposes, this transaction had no impact on the net assets of the respective funds.
G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios 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. The instruments and its significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Repurchase Agreements: The LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and the LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system or with the Fund’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Portfolios, as defined, and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio, and the statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book to Market Portfolio, LWAS/DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and LWAS/DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio, (constituting portfolios within Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolios”) at October 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, and by correspondence with the transfer agents of the investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

International Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.

International Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio
The LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 34.92% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master Fund’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.

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, 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 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” reflect 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
LWAS/DFA INTERNATIONAL HIGH BOOK TO MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifty-seven operational portfolios, of which the LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio (“the Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 1% of the Series.
On November 1, 2008 The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).
36
| | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |

| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio | | $85,519 | | — | | — | | $85,519 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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 for the year ended October 31, 2009. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $2 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and foreign currency from The DFA International Value Series, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets.
In addition, pursuant to a Client Service Agreement with LWI Financial Inc. (“LWIF”), the Portfolio pays a Shareholder Servicing fee to LWIF at the effective annual rate of 0.19% of its average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $197 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the Portfolio is included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
37
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 these differences are permanent they are charged, or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to the reclassification of foreign currency gains to net investment income for income tax purposes were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio | | $51 | | $(51) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | Total |
2007 | | $6,376 | | $ 3,987 | | $10,363 |
2008 | | 6,405 | | 10,361 | | 16,766 |
2009 | | 2,267 | | 26,433 | | 28,700 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) |
$760 | | — | | $760 |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$65,885 | | $21,969 | | $(2,335) | | $19,634 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Portfolios’ financial statements. No Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of

unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
39
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio and
Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LWAS/DFA International High Book to Market Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Series held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
As a result of the Series’ diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.90% for the Series and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Series benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Series’ greater exposure to value stocks and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Series and Index also contributed to the outperformance. The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Series also benefited from composition differences among the Series’ basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.
The DFA International Value Series
The International Value Series seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Series held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
As a result of the Series’ diversified investment approach, performance principally was determined by broad structural trends in global equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2008, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.41% for the Series and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Series’ greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 10.4% to the relative performance. The Series and Index held a number of securities in common, but in different weights, due to the different methods for defining size and value and the Series’ exclusion rules. These differences in allocation, and differences in the composition between the Series’ holdings and the Index, also contributed to the Series’ outperformance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which two (the “Series”) are presented in this report.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and on November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, each a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of their respective Holder(s) to change their U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. Each Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
The DFA International Value Series (the “International Series”) will also 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 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of the International Series is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the International Series prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the International Series 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
58
prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the International 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 Directors/Trustees of the International 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 International Series utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). The fair value prices of portfolio securities generally will be used when it is determined that the use of such prices will have a material impact on the net asset value of the International Series. When the International Series uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the International Series’ foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology 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 DFA International Value Series whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies, are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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 DFA International Value Series does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on The DFA International Value Series books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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 for the year ended October 31, 2009.

Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing 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 Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The DFA International Value Series 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 DFA International Value Series 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 of foreign investors. In addition, 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.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% and 0.20% of average daily net assets for The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and The DFA International Value Series, respectively.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Funds; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $ | 183 |
The DFA International Value Series | | | 143 |
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | Sales |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $ | 1,964,487 | | $ | 1,887,094 |
The DFA International Value Series | | | 1,071,984 | | | 935,775 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
60
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.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $6,877,391 | | $1,296,505 | | $(135,135) | | $1,161,370 |
The DFA International Value Series | | 5,830,471 | | 1,458,762 | | (63,077) | | 1,395,685 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed each Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Series’ financial statements. No Series is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
61
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-in Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain consideration 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 government 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 by the Series may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 entering 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. The Series entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related
62
to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statements of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series’ location of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses on the Series’ Statements of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

H. Line of Credit:
The Series, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
63
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings under this line of credit by the Series were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | 1.90% | | $11,126 | | 5 | | $3 | | $31,000 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
The Series, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings under this line of credit by the Series were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
The DFA International Value Series | | 0.95% | | $8,517 | | 11 | | $2 | | $18,062 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, some of the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each Series held cash collateral. 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to each Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
J. 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.
64
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which 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.
K. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and The DFA International Value Series realized $52,271 and $103,024 (in thousands) of net gain.
L. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
65
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Series, as defined, and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and The DFA International Value Series (constituting portfolios within The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Global Equity Portfolio
The Global Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP. As of the date of this report, the domestic funds invested in by the Portfolio include the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio; and international funds invested in by the Portfolio include the International Core Equity Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (collectively, the “Equity Underlying Funds”). As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 11,416 equity securities, indirectly through its underlying funds, in 41 countries.
The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure in each Equity Underlying Fund to stocks with desired asset class characteristics. As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited group of stocks in a particular industry or country.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 20.30% for the Global Equity Portfolio - Institutional Class, 20.06% for Global Equity Portfolio - Class R2, and 18.42% for the MSCI World Index (net dividends). Relative to the Index, the out-performance of the Portfolio was primarily due to a greater allocation to emerging markets stocks, which outperformed the Index and the Portfolio’s greater allocation to small cap and value stocks during a period of positive small and value premiums globally. During the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio was, on average, exposed through the Underlying Funds to the following asset classes at these approximate levels: 63% U.S. equities, 31% international developed market equities and 6% emerging markets equities.
Global 60/40 Portfolio
The Global 60/40 Portfolio seeks capital appreciation and current income by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP. As of the date of this report, domestic equity funds invested in by the Portfolio include the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio; international equity funds invested in by the Portfolio include the International Core Equity Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and fixed income funds invested in by the Portfolio include the DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, the DFA Inflation Protected Securities Portfolio, the DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio, and the DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio (collectively, the “Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds”). As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 11,416 equity securities, indirectly through its underlying funds, in 41 countries and 443 fixed income securities in 16 countries, excluding supranationals.
The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure in each Underlying Fund to equity or fixed income securities with desired asset class characteristics. As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity and fixed income markets rather than the behavior of a limited group of securities in a particular industry, country, or asset class.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 18.95% for the Global 60/40 Portfolio - Institutional Class, 18.46% for the Global 60/40 Portfolio - Class R2, and 12.98% for a hypothetical composite index composed of 60% MSCI World Index (net dividends) and 40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged). Relative to this hypothetical 60/40 Index, outperformance of the equity component was primarily due to a greater allocation to emerging markets stocks, which outperformed the Index and the Portfolio’s greater allocation to small cap and value stocks during a period of positive small and value premiums globally. Outperformance of the fixed income component was due to longer duration of the fixed income component of the Portfolio relative to the index during a period of falling nominal and real interest rates, the Portfolio’s allocation to unhedged fixed
4
income securities during a period when the U.S. Dollar significantly weakened, and the Portfolio’s exposure to government agency and corporate securities during a period when credit spreads narrowed. The fixed income index is composed of short-term U.S. Dollar hedged sovereign government securities. During the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio was exposed through the Underlying Funds to the following asset classes at these approximate levels: 37% U.S. equities, 19% international developed market equities, 4% emerging markets equities, and 40% global bonds.
Global 25/75 Portfolio
The Global 25/75 Portfolio seeks total return consistent with current income and preservation of capital with some capital appreciation by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP. As of the date of this report, the domestic equity funds invested in by the Portfolio include the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio; international equity funds invested in by the Portfolio include the International Core Equity Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and fixed income funds invested in by the Portfolio include the DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Port-folio, the DFA Inflation Protected Securities Portfolio, and the DFA Short Term Extended Quality Portfolio (collectively, the “Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds”). As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 11,416 equity securities, indirectly through its underlying funds, in 41 countries and 362 fixed income securities in 15 countries, excluding supranationals.
The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure in each Underlying Fund to equity or fixed income securities with desired asset class characteristics. As a result of the Portfolio’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity and fixed income markets rather than the behavior of a limited group of securities in a particular industry, country, or asset class.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 12.67% for the Global 25/75 Portfolio - Institutional Class, 12.19% for the Global 25/75 Portfolio - Class R2 and 7.58% for a hypothetical index composed of 25% MSCI World Index (net dividends) and 75% Citigroup World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged). Relative to this hypothetical 25/75 Index outperformance of the equity component was primarily due to a greater allocation to emerging markets stocks, which outperformed the Index and the Portfolio’s greater allocation to small cap and value stocks during a period of positive small and value premiums globally. Outperformance of the fixed income component was due to longer duration of the fixed income component of the Portfolio relative to the index during a period of falling nominal and real interest rates and the Portfolio’s exposure to government agency and corporate securities during a period when credit spreads narrowed. The fixed income index is composed of short-term U.S. Dollar hedged sovereign government securities. During the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio was exposed through the Underlying Funds to the following asset classes at these approximate levels: 75% global bonds, 16% U.S. equities, 8% international developed market equities, and 1% emerging markets equities.

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, 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” reflect 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.

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund currently offers fifteen portfolios, of which Global Equity Portfolio, Global 60/40 Portfolio and Global 25/75 Portfolio (each a “Global Fund” and collectively, the “Global Funds”) are presented in this report.
The Global Funds achieve their investment objectives by primarily investing in other portfolios within DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“IDG”) (collectively, the “Master Funds”).

At October 31, 2009, Class R1 shares had not commenced operations. Class R1 shares of the Global Funds have 25,000,000 authorized shares.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Global Funds from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Master Fund shares held by the Global Funds are valued at their respective daily net asset values, as these Master Funds are treated as regulated investment companies. The Global Funds’ investments in partnerships reflect proportionate interest in the net assets of their corresponding partnerships. At October 31, 2009, the Global Funds held no investments in partnerships.
19
The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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 Global Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets by each major type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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.
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of affiliated investment company shares are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from the investment in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Global Funds estimate the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to a Global Fund are directly charged. Common expenses of the Group are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of its Global Fund. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of each Global Fund 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 Global Funds each recognize their pro-rata share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis, from their respective investments in partnerships.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Master Funds. The Advisor also provides administrative services to the Global Funds, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to shareholders and the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Global Equity Portfolio, Global 60/40 Portfolio and Global 25/75 Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.30%, 0.25%, 0.20%, respectively, of average daily net assets. The Global Funds do not pay separate management fees to the Advisor.
Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administrative services fee to the extent necessary to limit the proportionate share of the total combined administrative services fees paid by each of the Global Funds and investment advisory services fees paid by the Master Funds to the Advisor. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect through March 1, 2010, and
20
shall continue to remain in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Global Funds had the following expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis.
| | | |
| | Expense Limits | |
Global Equity Portfolio | | 0.27 | % |
Global 60/40 Portfolio | | 0.25 | % |
Global 25/75 Portfolio | | 0.22 | % |
The Advisor has also contractually agreed to assume the direct operating expenses of the Institutional Class Shares of each Global Fund (excluding administrative services fees paid to the Advisor), to the extent necessary to limit the total expense ratios (including the expenses that the Institutional Class Shares of each such Global Fund bears as a shareholder of the Master Funds, but excluding expenses from investment in other investment companies) of the Institutional Class Shares. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Institutional Class Shares had the following expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis.
| | | |
| | Expense Limits | |
Global Equity Portfolio | | 0.44 | % |
Global 60/40 Portfolio | | 0.41 | % |
Global 25/75 Portfolio | | 0.37 | % |
The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect through March 1, 2010, and shall continue to remain in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor.
For the Class R2 Shares, the Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the direct operating expenses of the Class R2 Shares of each Global Fund (excluding administrative services fees paid to the Advisor) to the extent necessary to limit the total expense ratios (including the expenses that the Class R2 Shares of each such Global Fund bears as a shareholder of the Master Funds and including Shareholder Servicing Fees, but excluding expenses from investment in other investment companies) of the Class R2 Shares. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Class R2 Shares had the following expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis.
| | | |
| | Expense Limits | |
Global Equity Portfolio | | 0.69 | % |
Global 60/40 Portfolio | | 0.66 | % |
Global 25/75 Portfolio | | 0.62 | % |
The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement will remain in effect through March 1, 2010, and shall continue to remain in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor.
At any time that the rate of the fees and annualized expenses of a Global Fund are less than the rates listed above for a Global Fund on an annualized basis, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the Global Fund’s Institutional Class and Class R2 Shares’ fees or expenses to exceed the fee or expense limitations listed above. Previously waived fees subject to future recovery by the Advisor over periods not exceeding October 31, 2012 are reflected below (amounts in thousands). The Global Funds are 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.

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of the Global Funds are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:

E. Federal Income Taxes:
Each Global Fund 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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to reclassification of distributions and the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

Capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts in thousands):

23
thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Global Equity Portfolio | | $ | 1,440,618 | | $ | 19,771 | | $ | (175,967 | ) | | $ | (156,196 | ) |
Global 60/40 Portfolio | | | 779,952 | | | 16,647 | | | (61,102 | ) | | | (44,455 | ) |
Global 25/75 Portfolio | | | 159,487 | | | 5,911 | | | (3,111 | ) | | | 2,800 | |
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 each Global Portfolio’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in any Global Portfolios’ financial statements. No Global Portfolio is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Global Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, the DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with RIC feeders, underlying fund of fund investors and direct client investors, made a “Check-the-Box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, for tax purposes, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Since the master fund has a shareholder owning 80% or more of the fund’s shares, and also has shareholders owning less than 80%, the fund’s respective transaction creates a non-taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §332 for those owning more than 80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §331, for those shareholders owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to the newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of the master fund was October 31, 2008.
For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC §336(a), the master fund recognized gain or loss relative to the investment of the less than 80% shareholders as if the master’s investment securities were sold to those shareholders and, pursuant to IRC §331, each of those shareholders recognized gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. The Global 60/40 Portfolio and the Global 25/75 Portfolio, each representing a less than 80% owner of The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Series, recognized $3,046,638 and $1,370,411 of net capital gain respectively for their tax year ended October 31, 2008. Pursuant to IRC §334(a), each of these shareholders took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.

G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives 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. The instrument and its significant corresponding risks are described below:
Repurchase Agreements: The Global Funds may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest. The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At October 31, 2009, the Funds had no open repurchase agreements.
H. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
26
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Global Funds under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
Global Equity Portfolio | | 2.00% | | $2,674 | | 48 | | $7 | | $22,635 |
Global 60/40 Portfolio | | 2.01% | | 1,022 | | 66 | | 4 | | 11,225 |
Global 25/75 Portfolio | | 1.92% | | 1,068 | | 35 | | 2 | | 9,333 |
At October 31, 2009, Global Equity Portfolio had a loan outstanding in the amount of $90 (in thousands).
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Global Funds under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
I. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 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 Global Funds’ Class R2 Shares.
J. 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 which 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. Other:
At October 31, 2009, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of outstanding shares of the Global Funds. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
| | | | |
| | Number of Shareholders | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares |
Global Equity Portfolio — Class R2 Shares | | 3 | | 98% |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Portfolios, as defined, and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Equity Portfolio, Global 60/40 Portfolio and Global 25/75 Portfolio (three of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolios”) at October 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M.

The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|

David G. Booth |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000®Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000®Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000®Growth Index and Russell 1000®Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000®Growth Index and Russell 2000®Value Index.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
3
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in The U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Master-Feeder Structure
The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.79% for the Portfolio and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Master Fund’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to the outperformance. The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Portfolio also benefited from composition differences among the Master Fund’s basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 2% 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.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).

U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II | | $ | 100,913 | | — | | — | | $ | 100,913 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $2 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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 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
12
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009 were classified to the following accounts. The reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

2009 | | 2,299 | | 40,896 | | 43,195 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | Total Net Distributable Earnings/ (Accumulated Losses) |
$251 | | — | | $(50,707) | | $(50,456) |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards of $50,707 (in thousands) available to offset future realized capital gains through October 31, 2017.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$85,677 | | $17,427 | | $(2,191) | | $15,236 |
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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.

Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
Each Portfolio impacted by the “Check the Box” election also has a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. Listed below is the permanent difference impacting each respective Portfolio. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to each respective fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.

For financial reporting purposes, this transaction had no impact on the net assets of the respective funds.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.

The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of the duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held 100% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio II (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such 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
THE U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The U. S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, had elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
28
— 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $183 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. 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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
29
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 1,964,487 |
Sales | | | 1,887,094 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its respective partners.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
30
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the location of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009:

G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
1.90% | | $11,126 | | 5 | | $3 | | $31,000 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
32
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. 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 which 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.
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $52,271 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
Sincerely,
David G. Booth
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. Equity Market Review | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth® Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.
| | |
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 | | |
Russell 2000® Index (small cap companies) | | 6.46% |
Russell Midcap® Index (mid cap companies) | | 18.74% |
Russell 1000® Index (large cap companies) | | 11.19% |
Russell 3000® Value Index | | 4.55% |
Russell 3000® Growth Index | | 17.04% |

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
3
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in the U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Master-Feeder Structure
The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 213 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 11.88% for the Portfolio and 4.78% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Master Fund’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics and composition differences along the value/growth dimension added approximately 4.2% to the relative performance. Differences in sector weights between the Portfolio and Index also contributed to the outperformance. The Master Fund’s larger allocation than the Index to consumer discretionary stocks, due to its strategy of maintaining consistent large cap value exposure, added approximately 3% to relative performance. The Portfolio also benefited from composition differences among the Master Fund’s basket of financial stocks, which added approximately 3.6% to relative performance.

(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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $1,000.00 | | $1,024.35 | | 0.17% | | $0.87 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO III
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 19% 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.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad level as described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).

U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III | | $ | 1,457,793 | | — | | — | | $ | 1,457,793 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $35 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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 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
12
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(143) | | $143 |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $26,436 | | $38,031 | | $64,467 |
2008 | | 29,705 | | 77,601 | | 107,306 |
2009 | | 31,932 | | — | | 31,932 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards of $427,518 (in thousands) available to offset future realized capital gains through October 31, 2017.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$1,230,529 | | $251,314 | | $(24,050) | | $227,264 |
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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized
13
tax benefit 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.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
Each Portfolio impacted by the “Check the Box” election also has a permanent book/tax difference resulting from the transaction. Listed below is the permanent difference impacting each respective Portfolio. For financial statement purposes, this adjustment did not result in any changes to each respective fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.
| | | | | |

U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio | | $(606,345) | | | $606,345 |

LWAS/DFA U.S. High Book To Market Portfolio | | (7,793 | ) | | 7,793 |
For financial reporting purposes, this transaction had no impact on the net assets of the respective funds.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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.
14
The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009 .
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, one shareholder held approximately 71% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Shareholders of U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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 cost 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.

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
THE U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, had elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
28
• 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $183 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. 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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 1,964,487 |
Sales | | | 1,887,094 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its respective partners.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$6,877,391 | | $1,296,505 | | $(135,135) | | $1,161,370 |
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 in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its investment in the master. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios took fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date.
The master fund had book/tax differences upon its deemed liquidation. The following summary of permanent differences occurred as of the respective effective “Check the Box” election date.
| | | | | | |
Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) Investment Securities | | Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$(3,038,312,278) | | $2,303,664,484 | | $(698,899) | | $735,346,693 |
30
As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended December 30, 2008. Additionally, the fund has written off $3,039,011,176 of expired capital loss carryover as a permanent book/tax reporting difference decreasing paid in capital.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the location of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009:

* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
1.90% | | $11,126 | | 5 | | $3 | | $31,000 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
32
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. 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 which 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.
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $52,271 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
International Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
Emerging Markets Portfolio II
The Emerging Markets Portfolio II seeks to capture the returns of large company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of a Master Fund investing in such firms. The investment strategy employs a disciplined quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large company emerging markets stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 654 stocks across 18 emerging countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets. The Master Fund’s target country weights are capped at a ceiling set by the manager in order to limit single-country risk exposure.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified approach, performance was generally determined by structural trends in emerging country stock markets, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 53.72% for the Portfolio and 64.13% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). The Portfolio’s relative underperformance was primarily due to differences in country weights and in the composition of the Master Fund’s holdings relative to the Index. Over the period, there was a wider than usual performance difference between the best and worst performing stocks within countries, industry sectors, and asset classes, consequently, slight differences in weights or in holdings between the Portfolio and Index had a significant impact on relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

The Portfolio is a Feeder Fund. The expenses shown reflect the direct expenses of the Feeder Fund and the indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 fifteen portfolios, of which the Emerging Markets Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The Emerging Markets Series (the “Series”), a series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 7% 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.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).

Emerging Markets Portfolio II | | $ | 142,232 | | — | | — | | $ | 142,232 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1
11
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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $3 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and foreign currency 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the Portfolio is included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to realized net foreign currency gains/losses were classified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$4 | | $(4) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during and the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $1,289 | | — | | $1,289 |
2008 | | 3,162 | | $2,274 | | 5,436 |
2009 | | 5,915 | | — | | 5,915 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | Total Net Distributable Earnings/ (Accumulated Losses) |
$2,688 | | — | | $(83,995) | | $(81,307) |
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. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards of $83,995 (in thousands) available to offset future realized capital gains through October 31, 2016. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes in the amount of $2,927 (in thousands).
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$65,143 | | $77,089 | | — | | $77,089 |
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 position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line
13
of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held 100% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Emerging Markets Portfolio II and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emerging Markets Portfolio II (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $1,000.00 | | $1,024.15 | | 0.21% | | $1.07 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to reflect the six-month period. |

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such requirement.

At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
The Series will also 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 Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of the Series is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series 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 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 Directors/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 utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the
28
market values of foreign investments). When the 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | 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) |
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology 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 recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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 does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and 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 participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $48 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 are 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities
29
purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to the Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/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 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. In addition, 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 Series’ investments in Thailand are subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The Series accrues for taxes on the capital gains throughout the holding period based on the unrealized gain of the underlying securities. The Series is also subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are accrued when the capital gains are earned.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the Series is included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 230,547 |
Sales | | | 367,789 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Tax:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its partners.
Some of the Series’ investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies” for which any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net investment income for tax purposes. At October 31, 2009, the Series had no cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (mark to market) to be included in distributable net investment income for federal tax purposes. For the year ended October 31, 2009, there were no realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies to be reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to accumulated net investment income for federal tax purposes.
30
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$1,299,053 | | $1,057,665 | | $(24,146) | | $1,033,519 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. 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 government 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 by the Series may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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.
31
Risks may arise upon entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series’ location and value of realized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009:
| | |
Derivative Type | | Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| |
Equity contracts | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: Futures Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of: Futures |
The following is a summary of the location of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses on the Series’ Statements of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings categorized by primary risk exposure through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | |
| | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| |
| | Equity Contracts |

The Emerging Markets Series* | | $(32) |
* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted
32
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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentage and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
0.91% | | $3,365 | | 87 | | $7 | | $13,587 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. 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 which 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.
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (In-Kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on In-Kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on In-Kind redemptions are not
33
recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in-capital. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series realized $17,805 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The Emerging Markets Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Emerging Markets Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, broker and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|

David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The year ending October 31, 2009, was among the most volatile periods in U.S. market history. Broad market returns were positive with stocks represented by the mid cap index outperforming those within both small cap and large cap indexes and stocks represented by the growth index outperforming those represented by the value index. Investors moving out of stocks, beginning in late 2008 and extending into early 2009, contributed to high volatility and negative returns over that period. Markets turned sharply higher in March, and the size and value premiums both turned positive over the eight months ending October 2009. Although the large cap index outperformed the small cap index, and the growth index outperformed the value index, returns within the broader market (Russell 3000® Index) demonstrate that there was a positive small size premium and a positive value premium. This counterintuitive result occurred because the stock markets were characterized by extreme volatility, and the indexes, which are reconstituted annually, were not able to rebalance during the course of the year to maintain their intended asset class exposure. Among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of diversified equity portfolios are the company size and company value/growth characteristics of the portfolio’s holdings. Size is measured by market capitalization, and value classification is a function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics. Compared to other stocks, value stocks often have lower market value relative to their earnings, dividends, and book value.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the total return of the Russell Microcap® Index was 5.06%, the Russell 2000® Index was 6.46%, the CRSP 6-10 Index was 20.94%, and the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index was 14.11%. Large cap growth stocks outperformed large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index and Russell 1000® Value Index. Small cap growth stocks outperformed small cap value stocks, by a lesser amount than in large caps, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Index.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009
| | | |
Russell 2000® Index (small cap companies) | | 6.46 | % |
Russell Midcap® Index (mid cap companies) | | 18.74 | % |
Russell 1000® Index (large cap companies) | | 11.19 | % |
Russell 3000® Value Index | | 4.55 | % |
Russell 3000® Growth Index | | 17.04 | % |
Further dividing the large, mid, and small cap market segments by value and growth characteristics shows more detail in the performance differences over the period.

Differences in returns for the various Dimensional U.S. equity funds over the 12 months ended October 31, 2009 were attributable primarily to differences in value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of
3
REIT securities from most Dimensional portfolios, except for the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and portfolios investing in The U.S. Large Company Series. Moreover, the portfolio construction approach used by Dimensional Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) generally resulted in portfolios with greater emphasis on value or small company characteristics relative to widely used index benchmarks.
Master-Feeder Structure
The portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II seeks to capture the returns of U.S. value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The Portfolio also seeks to maximize the after-tax value of a shareholder’s investment. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to U.S. value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio held 1,410 stocks and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance principally was determined by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, total returns were 12.64% for the Portfolio and 4.55% for the Russell 3000® Value Index. The Portfolio benefited from a positive size premium and value premium over the last eight months of the period. Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s greater exposure to stocks with more pronounced value characteristics added more than 8% to the outperformance. The Portfolio is more inclusive than the Index across the market cap spectrum, particularly in the micro cap range, resulting in a slight size tilt for the Portfolio which also contributed to outperformance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $1,000.00 | | $1,023.89 | | 0.26% | | $1.33 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
TAX-MANAGED U.S. MARKETWIDE VALUE PORTFOLIO II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 fifteen portfolios, of which Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 29% 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.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).

Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II | | $ | 671,411 | | — | | — | | $ | 671,411 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of
11
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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $15 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Portfolio is not charged a fee for these services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
12
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | Total |
2007 | | $18,012 | | $ 1,514 | | $19,526 |
2008 | | 19,112 | | 43,757 | | 62,869 |
2009 | | 13,703 | | — | | 13,703 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) |
$1,584 | | — | | $(89,694) | | $(88,110) |
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. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through October 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Expires on October 31, | | | | |
2016 | | 2017 | | | | Total |
$35,999 | | $53,695 | | | | $89,694 |
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$675,310 | | $109,754 | | $(113,653) | | $(3,899) |
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 position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
13
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio II (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such 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
THE TAX-MANAGED U.S. MARKETWIDE VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $55 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
3. 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 are on the basis of identified cost sold. 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 549,371 |
Sales | | | 583,865 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
28
E. Federal Income Tax:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to its partners.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$2,553,643 | | $383,784 | | $(441,536) | | $(57,752) |
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 position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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.
29
Risks may arise upon entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series location of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Derivative Type | | Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
Equity contracts | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: Futures Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of: Futures |
The following is a summary of the realized and change in unrealized gains and losses from the Series’ derivative instrument holdings categorized by primary risk exposure through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | |
| | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| | Equity Contracts |
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series* | | $2,063 |
| |
| | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| | Equity Contracts |
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series* | | $(16) |
* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010.
30
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
1.96% | | $8,120 | | 19 | | $8 | | $18,993 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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. 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 to by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. 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 which 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.
31
J. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
32
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
Sincerely,
David G. Booth
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
International Equity Market Review | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund,” does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
International Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
DFA International Value Portfolio II
The DFA International Value Portfolio II seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.34% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master Fund’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

The Portfolio is a Feeder Fund. The expenses shown reflect the direct expenses of the Feeder Fund and the indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which the DFA International Value Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 2% 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 are listed below (in thousands).

| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
DFA International Value Portfolio II | | $ | 143,907 | | — | | — | | $ | 143,907 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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 Other Expenses. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $3 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and foreign currency 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
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
12
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to a reclassification of distributions were classified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$82 | | $(82) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $21,690 | | $ 8,778 | | $30,468 |
2008 | | 13,755 | | 14,797 | | 28,552 |
2009 | | 3,552 | | 63,584 | | 67,136 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) |
$1,671 | | — | | $1,671 |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$114,012 | | $32,855 | | $(2,960) | | $29,895 |
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 position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.

On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 of the line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. Indemnities; 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held 100% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DFA International Value Portfolio II and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DFA International Value Portfolio II (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such 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
THE DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
The Series will also 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 Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of the Series is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series 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
28
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 Directors/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 utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When the 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
• 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology 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 recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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. Exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The Series does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and 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 participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $143 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
29
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 are 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 Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The Series may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers exiting 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 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. In addition, 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.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Series.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 1,071,984 |
Sales | | | 935,775 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its partners.
30
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$5,830,471 | | $1,458,762 | | $(63,077) | | $1,395,685 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series’ is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. 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 government 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 by the Series may be inhibited.
31
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series’ location and value of realized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Location on the Statement of Operations | | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| | | Equity Contracts |
The DFA International Value Series* | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: Futures | | $(1,125) |
* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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.
32
The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
0.95% | | $8,517 | | 11 | | $2 | | $18,062 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short-Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. Indemnities; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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 which 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.
33
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (In-Kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on In-Kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on In-Kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $103,024 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The DFA International Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The DFA International Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

December 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
Sincerely,
David G. Booth
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
International Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
International Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
DFA International Value Portfolio III
The DFA International Value Portfolio III seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.37% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master Fund’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,023.79 | | 0.28% | | $1.43 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO III
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which the DFA International Value Portfolio III (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 16% 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).
11
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
DFA International Value Portfolio III | | $ | 1,008,248 | | — | | — | | $ | 1,008,248 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $24 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and foreign currency 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average daily net assets.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
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
12
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation (depreciation), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to a reclassification of distributions were classified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net value per share (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) |
$639 | | $(639) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $32,872 | | $17,585 | | $50,457 |
2008 | | 45,275 | | 24,825 | | 70,100 |
2009 | | 25,965 | | — | | 25,965 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) |
$3,368 | | — | | $(89,694) | | $(86,326) |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available in the amount of $89,694 (in thousands) to offset future realized capital gains expiring in 2016. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes in the amount of $11,149 (in thousands).
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$771,356 | | $241,980 | | $(5,088) | | $236,892 |
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 position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax
13
benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, two shareholders held 78% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically holds shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
14
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DFA International Value Portfolio III and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DFA International Value Portfolio III (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

(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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
THE DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
The Series will also 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 Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of the Series is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series 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
29
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 Directors/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 utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When the 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | 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) |
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology 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 recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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. Exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The Series does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and 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 participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $143 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
30
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 are 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 Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The Series may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers exiting 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 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. In addition, 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.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Series.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 1,071,984 |
Sales | | | 935,775 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its partners.
31
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$5,830,471 | | $ | 1,458,762 | | $(63,077) | | $1,395,685 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series’ is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. 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 government 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 by the Series may be inhibited.
32
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series’ location and value of realized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | | | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| | Location on the Statement of Operations | | Equity Contracts |
| | Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | |
The DFA International Value Series* | | Futures | | $(1,125) |
* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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.
33
The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
0.95% | | $8,517 | | 11 | | $2 | | $18,062 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short-Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. Indemnities; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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 which 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.
34
J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (In-Kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on In-Kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on In-Kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $103,024 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The DFA International Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The DFA International Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
After sinking to ten-year lows, stock prices around the world rebounded sharply in March 2009 and posted steady gains in the seven months between March and September. March and April were among the best-return months in the life of Dimensional’s equity Funds.
The unexpected turns in the financial markets this year offered some valuable lessons. We were reminded that stock prices are unpredictable. We saw once again the benefits of staying disciplined in the market as it inevitably moves up and down. And I believe these markets showed very clearly why diversification is so important to long-term investment success.
Although diversification can’t prevent losses, it can help investors avoid the extreme outcomes that can result from concentrating investments in individual stocks or market segments. We believe that successful investing is about both increasing wealth and being able to sleep well at night. Investors who understand how markets work and have a realistic understanding of their own tolerance for risk are most likely to have a good overall experience.
More than $10 billion in net long-term assets flowed into Dimensional’s Funds during the first 10 months of 2009, a reflection of the trust our shareholders around the world have placed in us. We are grateful for that trust and want you to know that we take our responsibility as the steward of your investments in Dimensional’s Funds very seriously. We hope to have the opportunity to continue serving your needs for many years to come.
|
Sincerely, |
|
|
David G. Booth |
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
International Equity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2009 |
The one-year period ending October 31, 2009, was characterized by unprecedented volatility in non-US developed markets. Non-US developed markets lost 18.87% from November 2008 through February 2009, as measured by the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). From March through October 2009 these same markets gained 57.56%. In April 2009, the Index had its largest-ever monthly gain (12.90%) since October 1990.
From November 2008 through February 2009, developed markets returns were negative across all asset classes. The US dollar rallied against most currencies, reversing a general trend of depreciation dating back to 2006. From March through October 2009 the market reversed course, with small cap and value stocks strongly outperforming large cap and growth stocks. The US dollar depreciated against most major currencies. The rally drove strong positive returns for the 12-month period, with small cap stocks significantly outperforming large cap stocks and value stocks outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI indexes.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a “Feeder Fund”, does not buy individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a corresponding fund called a “Master Fund”. The Master Fund, in turn, purchases stocks and/or other securities.
International Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
DFA International Value Portfolio IV
The DFA International Value Portfolio IV seeks to capture the returns of international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. The investment strategy employs a disciplined, quantitative approach, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, but does not attempt to track closely a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2009, the Master Fund held 465 stocks in 22 developed countries and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year: the average non-equitized cash level for the period was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
As a result of the Master Fund’s diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in international developed markets. Total returns were 35.27% for the Portfolio and 27.83% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master Fund’s greater allocation than the Index to value stocks (66% on average vs. 26% in the Index) added approximately 6.7% to the relative performance.

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, 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” reflect 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.

| | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 05/01/09 | | Ending Account Value 10/31/09 | | Annualized Expense Ratio* | | Expenses Paid During Period* |
Actual Fund Return | | $1,000.00 | | $1,349.50 | | 0.29% | | $1.72 |
Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $1,000.00 | | $1,023.74 | | 0.29% | | $1.48 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) 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 indirect payment of the Feeder Fund’s portion of the expenses of its Master Fund. |

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO IV
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen portfolios, of which the DFA International Value Portfolio IV (the “Portfolio”) is presented in this report.
The Portfolio primarily invests its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2009, the Portfolio owned 6% 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Portfolio from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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’s investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.
The Portfolio utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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 inputs or methodolgy used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of October 31, 2009 is listed below (in thousands).
11
| | | | | | | | |
| | Valuation Inputs |
| | Investments in Securities (Market Value) |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
DFA International Value Portfolio IV | | $349,059 | | — | | — | | $349,059 |
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of $9 (in thousands).
Each Director has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Directors have requested distribution of proceeds.
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 and foreign currency 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 gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio’s administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the first $40 million of average daily net assets and no fees on assets exceeding $40 million.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. 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.
12
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 these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009, primarily attributable to a reclassification of distributions were reclassified to the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):
| | |
Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gains |
$232 | | $(232) |
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the year ended November 30, 2007, the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total |
2007 | | $15,672 | | $7,928 | | $23,600 |
2008 | | 23,113 | | 14,605 | | 37,718 |
2009 | | 21,099 | | — | | 21,099 |
At October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Capital Loss Carryforward | | Total Net Distributable Earnings/ (Accumulated Losses) |
$8,944 | | — | | $(96,869) | | $(87,925) |
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. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available in the amount of $96,869 (in thousands) to offset future realized capital gains expiring on 2016. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes in the amount of $3,736 (in thousands).
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$264,412 | | $88,379 | | $(3,732) | | $84,647 |
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
13
position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
E. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
F. 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 which 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.
G. Other:
At October 31, 2009, one shareholder held 100% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
14
H. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DFA International Value Portfolio IV and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DFA International Value Portfolio IV (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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” reflect 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.

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,023.95 | | 0.25% | | $1.28 |
* | 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 (184), then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to reflect the six-month period. |

The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust Company filed its most recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 29, 2009. It is available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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 amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
The 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 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at 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).
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 utilized. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with such 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
THE DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 twelve investment portfolios, of which The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”) is presented in this report.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) on September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of the Series from November 30 to October 31.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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: Securities held by the Series (including over-the-counter securities) are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 values the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end 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).
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/Trustees. 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 the Investment Committee of the Advisor) occur before the net asset value 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.
The Series will also 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 Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset value of the Series is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series prices its shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series 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
29
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 Directors/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 utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When the 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.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded.
The Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
— Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
— 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)
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ net assets by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology 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 recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. 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. Exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The Series does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held 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 on securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and 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 participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan (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: 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. At October 31, 2009, 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 $143 (in thousands).
Each Trustee has the option to receive their distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods upon one year’s notice: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed upon years; or semi-annual installments over a period of agreed upon years. As of October 31, 2009, none of the Trustees have requested distribution of proceeds.
30
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 are 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 Series estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The Series may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers exiting 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 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. In addition, 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.
C. Investment Advisor:
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“Dimensional” or the “Advisor”) provides investment advisory services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series’ investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Series.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $98 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
| | | |
Purchases | | $ | 1,071,984 |
Sales | | | 935,775 |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its partners.
31
At October 31, 2009, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Federal Tax Cost | | Unrealized Appreciation | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$5,830,471 | | $1,458,762 | | $(63,077) | | $1,395,685 |
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 on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax position and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series’ is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible 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.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client investor(s), made a “Check-the-box” election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3, to change its federal entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code §336(a), the master fund recognizes gain or loss as if the master’s investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC Code §331, each of the Portfolios recognizes gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. As a result of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a ($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC Code §334(a), each of the Portfolios will take a fair market value basis in the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those securities commences on the deemed liquidation date.
F. 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. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Trust’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements were entered into on October 30, 2009.
2. 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 government 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 by the Series may be inhibited.
32
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Disclosures on derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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 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 entering 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. The Series 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.
Additional disclosure on derivative instruments is required showing a summary by primary risk exposure of the derivatives instruments’ (i) location in the balance sheet and fair value at period end and (ii) the location in the Statement of Operations and the realized and change in unrealized gain or loss over the reporting period. The following is a summary of the Series’ derivative instrument holdings for the year ended October 31, 2009.
At October 31, 2009, the Series had no outstanding futures contracts.
The following is a summary of the Series’ location and value of realized gains and losses on the Series’ Statement of Operations for the Series’ derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2009 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Location on the Statement of Operations | | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income |
| | Equity Contracts |
| | Net Realized Gain (Loss) on: | | |
The DFA International Value Series* | | Futures | | $(1,125) |
* | As of October 31, 2009, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Series had limited activity in these transactions. |
G. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into an amended and restated $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective July 8, 2009 with an affiliate of its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at the then current Federal Funds Rate plus 1%. 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.
33
The line of credit is scheduled to expire on June 22, 2010. There were no borrowings by the Series under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2009.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective January 15, 2009 with its international custodian bank. 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 to 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 line of credit expires on January 15, 2010.
For the year ended October 31, 2009, borrowings by the Series under this line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | |
Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |
0.95% | | $8,517 | | 11 | | $2 | | $18,062 |
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under this line of credit as of October 31, 2009.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2009, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series held cash collateral. The 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 equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 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, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided 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.
Subject to the Series’ investment policy, the cash collateral received by the Series from securities on loan is invested in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or shares of the DFA Short-Term Investment Fund LP. Agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, the 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. Indemnities; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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 which 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.

J. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Series’ prospectus, the Series may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (In-Kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the Series recognizes a gain on In-Kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on In-Kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the period December 1, 2007 to October 31, 2008, the Series realized $103,024 (in thousands) of net gain.
K. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through December 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of The DFA International Value Series and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The DFA International Value Series (one of the portfolios constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors of The DFA Investment Trust Company Inc. (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”) and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each, the “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is responsible for establishing the Funds’ policies and for overseeing the management of the Funds. The Trustees/Directors of the Funds, including all of the disinterested Directors, have adopted written procedures to monitor potential conflicts of interest that might develop between portfolios of the Funds (the “Feeder Portfolios”) that invest in certain series of DFAITC or DEM (the “Master Funds”).
Each Board has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the “Performance Committee”). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Director. The Audit Committee oversees the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal controls, the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audits thereof and performs other oversight functions as requested by the Board. The Audit Committee recommends the appointment of each Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and also acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board. There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Each Board’s Performance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Constantinides and Ibbotson, Ms. Smith, John P. Gould, Myron S. Scholes and Robert C. Merton. Each member of the Fund’s Performance Committee is a disinterested Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the investment performance of the Fund’s series and reviews the performance of the Fund’s service providers. There were six Performance Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below, including a description of each Trustee/Director’s experience as a Trustee/ Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

(e)(1) Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
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 a mechanism 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.
| 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. |
| 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, as amended) (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 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 and shall include an estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees, where possible, and such other information as the Committee may request. |
| 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: |
| (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 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.
| 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. |
| 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. |
| | |
(e)(2) | | The fees disclosed in Items 4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) were approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee but not pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |
| |
(f) | | The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, |
| 2009 that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full time, permanent employees was not greater than 50%. |
| | |
(g) | | Aggregate Non-Audit Fees |
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2009: $584,571
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2008: $692,520
| | |
(h) | | The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
