Dear Shareholder,
As we near the end of a year that saw us mark four decades since our founding, we want to thank you for entrusting us with your investments. We built Dimensional to implement the great ideas in finance, with the goal of transforming the investor experience for the better.
We are proud of the role Dimensional has played over the past 40 years in helping drive down costs, providing solutions that can improve diversification, and contributing to investor education. We’re committed to continuing to enhance our research-driven strategies, our efficient implementation, and the services we provide.
Just this past year, we launched an expanded offering for separately managed accounts, broadened our suite of fixed income solutions, and became one of the first asset managers to convert mutual funds into exchange-traded funds, offering greater choice in how investors access Dimensional’s strategies.
We have always focused on empowering financial professionals so they can meet their clients’ evolving needs. The solutions we have recently developed will help further that mission, offering more ability to customize and tailor investments to investors’ specific situations. It’s all part of our enduring tradition of innovation to enable the best possible experience for investors.
For 40 years, we have trusted markets. And for 40 years, we have built trust with financial professionals and investors around the world. The advances made in the industry have been profound for investors, and we believe this is just the beginning. We look forward to many more years of innovating on behalf of our clients and investors.

Sincerely, | | | | |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | | | |
U.S. Equity Market Review | | | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2021 |
U.S. equities had positive returns for the period. The broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, gained approximately 43.90%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe, outperformed large-cap stocks but underperformed small-cap stocks. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks as measured by the Russell indices.

Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio
The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to outperform the total return of the S&P 500® Index. This strategy uses S&P 500® Index futures contracts, swaps, and/or ETFs in conjunction with short-term investment grade fixed income instruments. As of October 31, 2021, 100% of the equity exposure consisted of S&P 500® Index futures contracts. The behavior of S&P 500® Index futures contracts is determined principally by the performance of the S&P 500® Index.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 41.82% for the Portfolio and 42.91% for the S&P 500® Index, the Portfolio’s benchmark. The Portfolio’s underperformance relative to the benchmark was primarily due to the performance of the fixed income component of the Portfolio. Realized term premiums were generally negative for government securities during the period. As such, the fixed income component’s allocation to government securities with maturities longer than two-years detracted from performance. Realized credit premiums were positive for the period, resulting in the fixed income component’s allocation to corporate securities contributing positively to performance. However, in combination, the fixed income component underperformed the financing cost of the S&P 500® Index futures contracts that the Portfolio purchased throughout the year.

U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio
The U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S. large-cap securities with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative price (value), and higher profitability. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio held approximately 700 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 42.42% for the Portfolio and 43.51% for the Russell 1000® Index, the Portfolio’s benchmark. The Portfolio’s emphasis on large-cap stocks with higher profitability detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as these stocks generally underperformed.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of U.S. large-cap value stocks by purchasing shares of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a Master Fund managed by Dimensional that invests in such stocks.

With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the Master Fund’s greater emphasis on value stocks as compared to the benchmark contributed positively to the Portfolio’s relative performance. The Master Fund’s emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations within the large cap universe also contributed positively to relative performance, as these stocks outperformed their larger counterparts for the period. Additionally, the Master Fund’s exclusion of highly regulated utilities contributed positively to relative performance, as utilities generally underperformed.

With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the Portfolio’s greater emphasis on value stocks as compared to the benchmark contributed positively to the Portfolio’s relative performance. The Portfolio’s exclusion of highly regulated utilities also contributed positively to relative performance, as utilities generally underperformed.

With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the Portfolio’s emphasis on value stocks also contributed positively to relative performance.
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market capitalization stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks relative to the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio and the market.

12
higher-profitability stocks relative to the market. The Portfolio’s increased exposure to small-cap and value stocks may be achieved by decreasing the allocation to or excluding the largest high relative price (growth) stocks in the U.S. market. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio held approximately 2,400 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio’s assets.

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 and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Tables below illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
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 generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred operational portfolios, of which twelve (the “Portfolios”) are included in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
Of the Portfolios, one (the “Feeder Fund”) invests all of its assets in a corresponding series (the “Master Fund” which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”). As of October 31, 2021, the Feeder Fund was the owner of record of the approximate percentage of the total outstanding shares of the Master Fund as detailed below:
| | | | | | |
Feeder Fund | | Master Fund | | Percentage Ownership at 10/31/21 | |
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio | | The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | | 85 | % |
To achieve its investment objective, the Feeder Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund as indicated above. The Feeder Fund also invests in short-term temporary cash investments and futures.
The financial statements of the Master Fund are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Feeder Fund.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolios use a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio, 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, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and U.S. High Relative Profitability Portfolio (collectively, the “Domestic 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 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 value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted
81
bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities held by the Portfolios are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of such securities. Securities that are traded over-the-counter and on a stock exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the Master Fund) are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported by their administrator. The Feeder Fund’s investment in the Master Fund reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Fund. These valuations are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments (except for the Feeder Fund). The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Portfolio enters into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement. The Portfolio also enters into forward currency contracts solely for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market daily based on daily forward exchange rates.
The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio isolates the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.
82
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities/affiliated investment companies and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and from the investment in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the inception of the Portfolios.
Class R1 Shares, Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of a Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of a Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.
The Feeder Fund recognizes its pro-rata shares of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from its Master Fund within DFAITC, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolios accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. Additionally, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
83
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolios’ investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio | | 0.48% | | 0.41% |
Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreements (each, a “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreements for the non-feeder Portfolios will remain in effect through February 28, 2022, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Feeder Fund, as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the non-feeder Portfolios had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2021, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2021, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses (defined below) of a class of a Portfolio are less than the applicable Expense Limitation Amount listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount in place for the Portfolio. The Advisor, however, will not be reimbursed by the Feeder Fund in connection with its Permanent Fee Waiver (defined below). The Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, is also not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.

F. Federal Income Taxes:
Each Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, can occur as a result of realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” non-deductible expenses, realized foreign capital gains tax, the use of accumulated
88
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, net foreign currency gains/losses, distributions received from real estate investment trusts and distribution redesignations, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2020, and October 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios may invest either directly or indirectly (through their investments in 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:
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolios.
1. Forward Currency Contracts: The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk) or to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities by entering into forward currency contracts. The decision to hedge the Enhanced U.S. Large Company 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. The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio typically hedges its foreign currency exposure. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward currency contracts. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
92
2. Futures Contracts: Each Portfolio listed below may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may also use futures contracts and options thereon to hedge against securities prices or as part of its overall investment strategy. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolio could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Portfolios entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and forward currency contracts and typically contains, among other things, provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event and may also include collateral posting items. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted, if any, and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

I. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.

* | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the year ended October 31, 2021, that each Portfolio’s available line of credit was used. |
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Portfolios may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
The Portfolios did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended October 31, 2021.
J. Affiliated Trades:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, were executed by the Portfolios pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, cross trades by the Portfolios under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

K. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral. In addition, the Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash Collateral Market Value | |
U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio | | $ | 28,797 | |
U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio | | | 209,063 | |
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio | | | 289,975 | |
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio | | | 570,046 | |
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio | | | 676,048 | |
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio | | | 124,725 | |
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio | | | 504,899 | |
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio | | | 209,192 | |
U.S. High Relative Profitability Portfolio | | | 139,708 | |
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio | | | 152,334 | |
Each Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolio’s collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities on loan will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in the DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, each Portfolio will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

L. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R1 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.10% and Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in U. S. Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1 and Class R2 Shares.
M. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

N. In-Kind Redemptions:
During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolios listed below realized net gains (losses) on in-kind redemptions as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio | | $ | 11,793 | |
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio | | $ | 7,153 | |
O. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Portfolios’ financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Portfolios could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Portfolios are required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Portfolios.
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Portfolios.
P. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance.
Q. Other:
As of October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolios’ outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolios, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolios’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
R. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio and summary schedules of portfolio holdings of U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio, 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, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, U.S. High Relative Profitability Portfolio and DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (twelve of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and transfer agents of the investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
| | |
Commodity Market Review | | 12 Months Ended October 31, 2021 |
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return returned 43.94%. Energy, agriculture, industrial metals, and livestock returned 83.49%, 43.29%, 39.07%, and 8.64%, respectively. Precious metals was the only sector with negative returns for the period, with a return of -4.60%.
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio
The DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio seeks total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio generally invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments and fixed income investments. The Portfolio, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dimensional Cayman Commodity Fund I LTD, gains exposure to commodities markets by investing in derivative instruments such as commodity swap contracts, commodity futures, and other commodity-linked instruments. In pursuing the fixed income portion of the Portfolio’s investment strategy, Dimensional identifies a broadly diversified universe of eligible U.S. and foreign fixed income securities with defined maturity ranges and credit quality characteristics and then seeks to purchase a broad and diverse portfolio of securities meeting these aforementioned standards. The investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve. The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies. The weighted average duration of the Portfolio’s fixed income securities was 1.89 years as of October 31, 2021, compared to 0.63 year as of October 31, 2020.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 45.67% for the Portfolio and 43.94% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return. The late rebalance, pre-roll, and varying the commodity weights relative to the benchmark contributed positively to relative performance. The collateral component and varying the expirations of the individual commodity contracts detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The collateral component of the Portfolio had a longer duration than the three-month U.S. Treasury bill rate payable in the commodity swap contracts. As such, the Portfolio’s longer duration detracted from performance relative to the benchmark as longer duration securities generally underperformed shorter duration securities during the period.

CONSOLIDATED DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table is 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.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED 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, as amended (the 1940 Act”), whose shares are generally offered, without a sales charge, to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred operational portfolios, one of which, DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), is included in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolio is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
The Portfolio wholly owns and controls Dimensional Cayman Commodity Fund I, LTD. (the “Subsidiary”), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolio uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Debt securities held by the Portfolio are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of such securities. Securities that are traded over-the-counter and on a stock exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Securities for which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Portfolio are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Swap agreements will be valued at the price provided by an independent third-party pricing service or source. If a price is
124
not available from an independent third-party pricing service or source, the swap agreement will be valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Schedule of Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Portfolio whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate this translation, the Portfolio enters into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
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 securities and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or its portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
125
C. Basis for Consolidation:
The Subsidiary commenced operations on November 9, 2010. The Portfolio commenced reporting on a consolidated basis as of such commencement date in accordance with the accounting principles relating to reporting of a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other investments by directly investing in those instruments or through investments in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary participates in the same investment goal as the Portfolio. The Subsidiary pursues its investment goal by investing in commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other investments. The Subsidiary (unlike the Portfolio) may invest without limitation in these instruments. However, the Subsidiary is otherwise subject to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment restrictions as the Portfolio. The portion of the Portfolio’s or Subsidiary’s assets exposed to any particular commodity, derivative or other investment will vary based on market conditions, but from time to time some exposure could be substantial.
To the extent of the Portfolio’s investment through the Subsidiary, it will be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other instruments in which the Subsidiary invests. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Portfolio.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Portfolio is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Portfolio in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio held a $404,639,979 investment in the Subsidiary, representing 22.90% of the Portfolio’s total net assets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Portfolio and its wholly-owned Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
D. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | | 0.28 | % |
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fee and to assume the expenses of the Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other funds managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund and its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses to no more than 0.55% of the Portfolio’s average net assets on an annualized basis (the “Expense Limitation Amount”). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount for the Portfolio. The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is also not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2022, and may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date. The Fee Waiver Agreement will continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. As of October 31, 2021, there were no previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor.
126
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Advisor whereby the Advisor or its affiliates provide investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. For the investment advisory services it provides, the Advisor is entitled to a fee from the Subsidiary equal to 0.30% of the Subsidiary’s average net assets on an annualized basis; however, pursuant to a contractual agreement, the Advisor has agreed to waive the management fee of the Subsidiary.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, approximately $1,101 (in thousands) of the Subsidiary’s management fees were waived pursuant to the Subsidiary fee waiver agreement.
Earned Income Credit:
Additionally, the Portfolio has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a portion of the Portfolio’s custody expenses. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of the Portfolio’s net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2021, expenses reduced were as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Fees Paid Indirectly | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 15 | |
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the total related amount paid by the Fund to the CCO was $133 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
E. Deferred Compensation:
As of October 31, 2021, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 31 | |
F. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio made the following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind redemptions (amounts in thousands), were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | U.S. Government Securities | | | Other Investment Securities | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 1,357,897 | | | $ | 937,899 | | | $ | 725,314 | | | $ | 340,687 | |
For the year ended October 31, 2021, transactions related to Affiliated Investment Companies, excluding in-kind redemptions, are presented below.
127
The amounts presented below may differ from the respective amounts presented in the corresponding Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statement of Operations due to rounding. The amounts are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balance at October 31, 2020 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Sales | | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation | | | Balance at October 31, 2021 | | | Shares as of October 31, 2021 | | | Dividend Income | | | Capital Gain Distributions | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 3,285 | | | $ | 359,038 | | | $ | 358,086 | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 4,237 | | | | 366 | | | $ | 3 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
G. 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 accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains or losses, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, can occur as a result of financial and tax reporting related to the Subsidiary, the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for tax purposes, reversal of book income/loss from controlled foreign corporation and net foreign currency gains/losses, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2020, and October 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Tax Exempt Income | | | Total | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
2020 | | $ | 16,600 | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 16,600 | |
2021 | | | 3,525 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 3,525 | |
As of October 31, 2021, the following net investment income and short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | (54,996 | ) | | | — | | | $ | (54,996 | ) |
128
As of October 31, 2021, 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 | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 494,389 | | | | — | | | $ | (6,346 | ) | | $ | (585,536 | ) | | $ | (97,493 | ) |
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, 2021, the Portfolio had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Unlimited | | | Total | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 6,346 | | | $ | 6,346 | |
During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio used the following capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 351 | |
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio | | $ | 2,211,215 | | | $ | 2,480 | | | $ | (588,046 | ) | | $ | (585,566 | ) |
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies, the Portfolio may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities held by the Portfolio may be inhibited.
129
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolio. The Portfolio may gain exposure to commodity markets by investing up to 25% of the Portfolio’s total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked notes, swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments, including futures contracts on individual commodities or a subset of commodities and options on commodities. The accompanying consolidated schedule of investments includes investments of the Portfolio and its wholly-owned Subsidiary.
2. Forward Currency Contracts: The Portfolio may acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk). The decision to hedge the 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 Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward currency contracts. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts.
3. Commodity-Linked Derivatives: The Portfolio and the Subsidiary invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swap agreements, commodity options, futures, options on futures, and structured notes. The prices of commodity-linked derivative instruments may move in different directions than investments in traditional equity securities, fixed income securities and commodity spot prices.
4. Swap Agreements: The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements with respect to commodities, interest rates and indexes of commodities or securities, specific securities and commodities, and mortgage, credit and event-linked swaps, and, to the extent the Portfolio may invest in foreign-currency-denominated securities, the Portfolio may enter into swap agreements with respect to foreign currencies.
The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions for any legal purpose consistent with its investment objective and policies, such as for the purpose of attempting to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets, to seek to increase total return (speculation), to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible.
A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter between the two parties (for an uncleared swap), while other swaps must be transacted through a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap), and may be traded on swap execution facilities (exchanges). Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. In an uncleared swap, the swap counterparty is typically a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution. In a cleared swap, the Portfolio’s ultimate counterparty is a central clearinghouse rather than a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution.
An investment in a commodity swap agreement may involve the exchange of floating-rate interest payments for the total return on a commodity index. In a total return commodity swap, the Portfolio will receive the price appreciation of a commodity index, a portion of the index, or a single commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee. The Portfolio may also enter into credit default swap agreements. The “buyer” in a credit default contract is obligated to pay the “seller” a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation (whether as a single debt instrument or as part of an index of debt instruments) has occurred. If an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or “par value,” of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. The Portfolio may be either the buyer or seller in a credit default swap transaction. Credit default swap transactions involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the reference obligation directly.
130
Most swap agreements entered into by the Portfolio will calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net” basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Portfolio receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Portfolio’s current obligations under a swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Portfolio) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by the segregation of assets determined to be liquid to avoid any potential leveraging of the Portfolio’s portfolio.
Uncleared swaps are typically executed bilaterally with a swap dealer rather than traded on exchanges. Parties to uncleared swaps face greater counterparty credit risk than those engaging in cleared swaps since performance of uncleared swap obligations is the responsibility only of the swap counterparty rather than a clearinghouse, as is the case with cleared swaps. As a result, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default, insolvency or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty beyond any collateral received. In such an event, the Portfolio will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreements, but bankruptcy and insolvency laws could affect the Portfolio’s rights as a creditor. The Portfolio will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness as determined by the Advisor’s Investment Committee. To the extent that the Portfolio reasonably expects a swap cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of investment, the Portfolio will treat the swap as illiquid and subject to its overall limit on illiquid investments of 15% of the Portfolio’s net assets.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing rules adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) currently require the clearing and exchange-trading of the most common types of credit default index swaps and interest rate swaps, and it is expected that additional categories of swaps will in the future be designated as subject to mandatory clearing and trade execution requirements. Central clearing is intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, but central clearing does not eliminate these risks completely. There is also a risk of loss by the Portfolio of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of the FCM with which the Portfolio has an open position, or the central counterparty in a swap contract. The assets of the Portfolio may not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM or central counterparty because the Portfolio might be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers.
Futures Activities:
The Portfolio may enter into commodity, foreign currency, interest rate and commodity or securities index futures contracts and purchase and write (sell) related options traded on exchanges designated by the CFTC or, consistent with CFTC regulations, on foreign exchanges.
5. Futures Contracts: A commodity futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the future purchase by the other party of a specified amount of a commodity, such as an energy, agricultural or metal commodity, at a specified price, date, time and place. A foreign currency futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the future purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specified non-U.S. currency at a specified price, date, time and place. An interest rate futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specific interest rate sensitive financial instrument (debt security) at a specified price, date, time and place. Securities and commodities indexes are typically capitalization or production weighted, respectively. A securities index or commodities index futures contract is an agreement to be settled by delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified multiplier times the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day on the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. The clearing house of the exchange on which a futures contract is entered into becomes the counterparty to each purchaser and seller of the futures contract.
Payments, known as “variation margin,” to and from the broker, will be made daily as the currency, financial instrument or index underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking-to-market.” As a result of the small margin deposit that is required, a small change in the market price of a futures contract can produce major losses.
131
At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the Portfolio may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Portfolio’s existing position in the contract. Positions in futures contracts and options on futures contracts (described below) may be closed out only on the exchange on which they were entered into (or through a linked exchange). However, there is no assurance that an active market will exist at any particular time. Once the daily fluctuation limit has been reached in a particular contract, most futures exchanges restrict trades at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the day. Such restrictions prevent prompt liquidation of futures positions at an advantageous price, potentially subjecting the Portfolio to substantial losses. In such event, and in the event of adverse price movements, the Portfolio would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. Losses incurred in futures transactions and the costs of these transactions will affect the Portfolio’s performance.
The price volatility of commodity futures contracts has been historically greater than that for traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds, and there are a variety of factors associated with commodity futures contracts which may subject the Portfolio’s investments in the contracts to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
6. Options on Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options on foreign currency, interest rate and stock and commodity index futures contracts and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such closing transactions can be effected; the ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be subject to the existence of a liquid market.
An option on a currency, interest rate or commodity or securities index futures contract, as contrasted with the direct investment in such a contract, gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. The writer of the option is required upon exercise to assume an offsetting futures position (a short position if the option is a call and a long position if the option is a put). Upon exercise of an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer’s futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on a futures contract is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). The value of the option changes daily, and that change is reflected in the net asset value of the Portfolio.
The Portfolio may enter into options and futures transactions for several purposes, including generating current income to offset expenses or increase return, and as hedges to reduce investment risk, generally by making an investment expected to move in the opposite direction of a portfolio position. A hedge is designed to offset a loss in a portfolio position with a gain in the hedged position; at the same time, however, a properly correlated hedge will result in a gain in the portfolio position being offset by a loss in the hedged position.
The Subsidiary’s securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts and open swaps contracts.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and forward currency contracts and typically contains, among other things, provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event and may also include collateral posting items. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted, if any, and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the Portfolio’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolio as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

I. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines of credit during the year ended October 31, 2021.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Portfolio may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
The Portfolio did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended October 31, 2021.
J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. The Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolio’s collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
135
Subject to its stated investment policies, the Portfolio will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in the Money Market Series, an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the Portfolio will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

K. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
L. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Portfolio could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Portfolio to comply with Section 18 of the 1940Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Portfolio is required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Portfolio.
136
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Portfolio.
M. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
N. Other:
As of October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages 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.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shareholders | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares |
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio-Institutional Class | | | | 4 | | | | | 67 | % |
The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolio, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolio’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
O. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and Shareholders of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) as of October 31, 2021, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund. We believe that our audits 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 and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

(1) | 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 as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. For Dimensional Investment Group Inc., this would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. Dimensional Investment Group Inc. filed its most recent Form N-PORT with the SEC on September 24, 2021. They are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a “Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings” in lieu of a full Schedule of Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund’s 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one percent of the fund’s net assets at the end of the reporting period. The regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC requires that all funds present their categories of portfolio holdings in a table, chart, or graph format in their annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is used. The following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities, is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more specific industry classifications.

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 eleven portfolios, one of which, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), is presented in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolio is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolio uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Securities held by the Portfolio, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio values the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Portfolio are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
150
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
3. Other: Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio’s investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | | 0.06 | % |
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolio, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2022, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio had an expense limit based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2021, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2021, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Annualized Expense Ratio (defined below) of the Portfolio is less than the Expense Limitation Amount listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than
151
the current Expense Limitation Amount for the Portfolio. The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is also not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Institutional Class Shares | | Expense Limitation Amount | | | Recovery of Previously Waived Fees/ Expenses Assumed | | | Waived Fees/ Expenses Assumed | | | Previously Waived Fees/ Expenses Assumed Subject to Future Recovery | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio (1) | | | 0.08 | % | | $ | 25 | | | $ | 901 | | | $ | 2,575 | |
(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies) (“Portfolio Expenses”) of the U.S. Large Company Portfolio so that the Portfolio Expenses, on an annualized basis, do not exceed the rate listed above as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average net assets (the “Annualized Expense Ratio”).
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $14 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
As of October 31, 2021, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 336 | |
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio’s transactions related to investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind redemptions and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands), were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 417,684 | | | $ | 1,433,041 | |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, transactions related to Affiliated Investment Companies, excluding in-kind redemptions, are presented below.
The amounts presented below may differ from the respective amounts presented in the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings, Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Statement of Operations due to rounding. The amounts are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balance at October 31, 2020 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Sales | | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation | | | Balance at October 31, 2021 | | | Shares as of October 31, 2021 | | | Dividend Income | | | Capital Gain Distributions | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
152
F. 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 that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or losses, or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, can occur as a result of realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies”, net foreign currency gains/losses, the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, and foreign capital gains tax reclass, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2020, and October 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Tax Exempt Income | | | Total | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
2020 | | $ | 190,450 | | | $ | 49,437 | | | | — | | | $ | 239,887 | |
2021 | | | 159,251 | | | | 235,909 | | | | — | | | | 395,160 | |
As of October 31, 2021, the following net investment income and short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | (16,326 | ) | | $ | (46,249 | ) | | $ | (62,575 | ) |
As of October 31, 2021, 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 | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | | Total Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 3,342 | | | $ | 644,573 | | | $ | 9,120,317 | | | $ | 9,768,232 | |
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, 2021, the Portfolio did not have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio did not use capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes.
153
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 3,187,624 | | | $ | 9,184,546 | | | $ | (64,229 | ) | | $ | 9,120,317 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies, the Portfolio 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:
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolio.
1. Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. 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 to a broker. 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 entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolio could lose more than the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Portfolio 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.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2021 was as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Futures* | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 22,368 | |
* | Average Notional Value of futures contracts |

H. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the
155
line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines 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 | | | Outstanding Borrowings as of 10/31/2021 | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | | 0.83 | % | | $ | 6,154 | | | | 66 | | | $ | 9 | | | $ | 21,830 | | | | — | |
* | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the year ended October 31, 2021, that the Portfolio’s available line of credit was used. |
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Portfolio may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
The Portfolio did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended October 31, 2021.
I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. In addition, the Portfolio received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash Collateral Market Value | |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio | | $ | 100,650 | |
The Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolio’s collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
156
Subject to its stated investment policies, the Portfolio will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the Portfolio will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

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 that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Portfolio could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Portfolio to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Portfolio is required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Portfolio.
157
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Portfolio.
L. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
M. Other:
As of October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shareholders | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares |
U.S. Large Company Portfolio-Institutional Class | | | | 4 | | | | | 71 | % |
The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolio, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolio’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
N. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Shareholders of U.S. Large Company Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, broker and transfer agent of the investee fund. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

U.S. Large Cap Value Series
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series is designed to capture the returns of U.S. large company low relative price (value) stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher profitability within the large-cap value segment of the U.S. market. As of October 31, 2021, the Series held approximately 370 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series’ assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 48.85% for the Series and 43.76% for the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Series’ benchmark. With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the Series’ greater emphasis on value stocks as compared to the benchmark contributed positively to the Series’ relative performance. The Series’ emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations within the large cap universe also contributed positively to relative performance, as these stocks outperformed their larger counterparts for the period. Additionally, the Series’ exclusion of highly regulated utilities contributed positively to relative performance, as utilities generally underperformed.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a “Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings” in lieu of a full Schedule of Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund’s 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one percent of the fund’s net assets at the end of the reporting period. The regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

THE 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 ten operational portfolios, one of which, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (the “Series”), is included in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Series is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Series uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Securities held by the Series, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. 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 within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Series is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Series may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
171
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees of the Trust; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
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 and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to the Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust or Series are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2021, investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | | 0.10 | % |
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $26 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
172
D. Deferred Compensation:
As of October 31, 2021, the total liability for deferred compensation to Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):

E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
F. 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.
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $ | 17,058,593 | | | $ | 13,569,941 | | | $ | (694,178 | ) | | $ | 12,875,763 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Series’
173
financial statements. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Series’ investment objectives and policies, the Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
1. Futures Contracts: The Series may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Series. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Series as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Series could lose more than the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Series to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2021 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

H. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.
There were no borrowings by the Series under the lines of credit during the year ended October 31, 2021.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Series may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase
175
agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
The Series did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended October 31, 2021.
I. Affiliated Trades:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, were executed by the Series pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, cross trades by the Series under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Series | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | Realized Gain (Loss) | |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $ | 527,151 | | | $ | 624,348 | | | $ | 150,238 | |
J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, the Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Series received cash collateral. In addition, the Series received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash Collateral Market Value | |
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series | | $ | 252,972 | |
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 in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Series’ collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Series could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
176
Subject to its stated investment policies, the Series will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Series also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

Common Stocks | | $ | 156,095 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 156,095 | |
K. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust.
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
L. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Series could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Series to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Series is required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Series.
177
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Series.
M. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Series’ performance.
N. Other:
The Series and the Trust are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Series and the Trust, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Series’ and the Trust’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
O. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series (one of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Series”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Series as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), Dimensional ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”), 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 Trustees/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 three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Investment Strategy Committee (the “Strategy Committee”). The Audit Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Trustee/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 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, 2021.
Each Board’s Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate’s qualification for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and other principal service providers. There were four Nominating Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Each Board’s Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O’Reilly, Douglas W. Diamond, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie.

TAX NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Unaudited)
The following information is solely for informational purposes. Each Portfolio is designating the U.S. federal income tax character of the following items with respect to distributions paid or expected to be paid to shareholders related to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For each classification below and including “Section 163(j) interest dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.163(j)-1(b)(35) and “Section 199A dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.199A -3(d), it is the intent of the Portfolio to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, shareholders generally must report distributions received from a Portfolio on a calendar-year basis, which therefore may include distributions with respect to portions of two fiscal years of the Portfolio. Annual statements needed by shareholders concerning the tax status of distributions received for the calendar year 2021 (e.g., IRS Form 1099-DIV) will be provided in early 2022. Shareholders should refer to these statements in preparing their calendar year 2021 tax returns. Please consult your tax advisor for the proper treatment of this information. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts in the table are expressed as a percentage of the distributions paid with respect to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Dear Shareholder,
As we near the end of a year that saw us mark four decades since our founding, we want to thank you for entrusting us with your investments. We built Dimensional to implement the great ideas in finance, with the goal of transforming the investor experience for the better.
We are proud of the role Dimensional has played over the past 40 years in helping drive down costs, providing solutions that can improve diversification, and contributing to investor education. We’re committed to continuing to enhance our research-driven strategies, our efficient implementation, and the services we provide.
Just this past year, we launched an expanded offering for separately managed accounts, broadened our suite of fixed income solutions, and became one of the first asset managers to convert mutual funds into exchange-traded funds, offering greater choice in how investors access Dimensional’s strategies.
We have always focused on empowering financial professionals so they can meet their clients’ evolving needs. The solutions we have recently developed will help further that mission, offering more ability to customize and tailor investments to investors’ specific situations. It’s all part of our enduring tradition of innovation to enable the best possible experience for investors.
For 40 years, we have trusted markets. And for 40 years, we have built trust with financial professionals and investors around the world. The advances made in the industry have been profound for investors, and we believe this is just the beginning. We look forward to many more years of innovating on behalf of our clients and investors.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2021, these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios’ relative performance.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2021, these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios’ relative performance.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Tables below illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund’s 50 largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one percent of the fund’s net assets at the end of the reporting period. The regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
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 generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred operational portfolios, of which twenty-two (the “Portfolios”) are included in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
Of the Portfolios, seven invest all of their assets in a corresponding series or fund (each such Portfolio, a “Feeder Fund”). Of the Feeder Funds, six invest all of their assets in a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”) and one invests all of its assets in the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (“DEM”) (each such series within DFAITC and DEM, a “Master Fund”, treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes). Six of the Portfolios generally allocate their assets among other funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (each such Portfolio, a “Fund of Funds”). The Fund of Funds may also invest in affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. The International Small Company Portfolio invests in five Master Funds within DFAITC. The Global Small Company Portfolio invests in six Master Funds within DFAITC and one underlying fund within the Fund (each such underlying fund within the Fund, an “Underlying Fund”). The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds within the Fund and directly in securities. The World ex U.S. Value Portfolio invests in three Master/Underlying Funds within the Fund, DFAITC, and DEM. The World Core Equity Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio each invest in three Underlying Funds within the Fund. As of October 31, 2021, the following Portfolios were the owner of record of the following approximate percentages of the total outstanding shares of the following Master/Underlying Funds as detailed below:

* | DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds as indicated and securities listed on its Summary Schedule of Investments. |
To achieve its investment objective, each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds invests substantially all of its assets in corresponding Master and/or Underlying Funds as indicated above. The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio may pursue its investment objective by investing its assets in its Underlying Funds and/or directly in securities of companies in the real estate industry. Each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds also invests in short-term temporary cash investments and futures. In addition, each Fund of Funds may engage in forward currency contracts.
The financial statements of the Feeder Funds’ Master Funds are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Feeder Funds.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolios use a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
127
Securities held by Large Cap International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio, International High Relative Profitability Portfolio and Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio (the “International Equity Portfolios”), including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities held by the International Equity Portfolios that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the International Equity Portfolios value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The International Equity Portfolios will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time at which the net asset values of the International Equity Portfolios are computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the pricing of the International Equity Portfolios’ shares (at the close of the NYSE), the International Equity Portfolios will fair-value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the International Equity Portfolios’ foreign investments since the last calculated closing prices of the foreign investments on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors of the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios uses data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When an International Equity Portfolio uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the International Equity Portfolio’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt securities held by the Portfolios are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of such securities. Securities that are traded over-the-counter and on a stock exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
128
Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the Master/Underlying Funds) are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported by their administrator. The Feeder Funds’, International Small Company Portfolio’s, Global Small Company Portfolio’s and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio’s investments in series of either DFAITC or DEM reflect their proportionate interest in the net assets of such corresponding Master Fund(s). These valuations are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments (except for the Feeder Funds). The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Portfolios whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement. The Portfolios also enter into forward currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market daily based on daily forward exchange rates.
The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities, whether realized or unrealized. However, the Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio does isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the International Equity Portfolios and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
129
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities/affiliated investment companies and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and from the investment in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolios are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the inception of the Portfolios.
Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of a Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of a Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.
The Feeder Funds, International Small Company Portfolio, Global Small Company Portfolio, and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio recognize their pro-rata shares of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from their respective Master Fund(s) within DFAITC or DEM, which are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolios accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. Additionally, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio, Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio are subject to tax on short-term and long-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolios’ investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreements (each, a “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreements for the non-Feeder Funds, and a portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for certain Feeder Funds below, will remain in effect through February 28, 2022, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Feeder Funds, as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by a Feeder Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolios had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2021, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2021, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses (defined below) of a class of a Portfolio are less than the applicable Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee Limit listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee
131
Limit that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount/Total Management Fee Limit in place for the Portfolio. The Advisor, however, will not be reimbursed by a Feeder Portfolio in connection with its Permanent Fee Waiver. The Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, is also not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery. With respect to the World ex U.S. Value Portfolio, World Core Equity Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio, the Advisor shall also not be reimbursed for any management fees previously waived to offset a Portfolio’s proportionate share of the management fees paid by such Portfolio through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor.

F. Federal Income Taxes:
Each Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, can occur as a result of realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” non-deductible expenses, realized foreign capital gains tax, the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes, net foreign currency gains/losses, distributions received from real estate investment trusts and distribution redesignations, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies, the Portfolios may invest either directly or indirectly (through their investments in corresponding Master/Underlying Funds), in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities held by the Portfolios may be inhibited.
Portfolios that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as the United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio’s Master Fund that concentrates investments in the United Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the political and economic conditions within such countries. For example, there is continuing uncertainty around the future of the euro and the European Union (EU) following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the EU (referred to as “Brexit”). Brexit may cause greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business confidence, and increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. While it is not possible to determine the precise impact these events may have on the Portfolios, during this period and beyond, the impact on the UK, EU countries, other countries or parties that transact with the UK and EU, and the broader global economy could be significant and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Portfolios’ investments.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Portfolios.
144
2. Forward Currency Contracts: The Portfolios listed below may acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk) or to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities by entering into forward currency contracts. The decision to hedge the Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio’s currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be based primarily on the Portfolio’s existing exposure to a given foreign currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward currency contracts. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
3. Futures Contracts: Each Portfolio listed below may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may also use futures contracts to hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolio could lose more than the initial margin requirements. The Portfolios entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund on behalf of applicable Portfolios entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar agreement with certain of its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund, on behalf of a Portfolio, and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and forward currency contracts and
147
typically contains, among other things, provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event and may also include collateral posting items. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted, if any, and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the Portfolios’ gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolios as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

I. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. 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.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Portfolios may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, activity by the Portfolios under the interfund lending program was as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

J. Affiliated Trades:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, were executed by the Portfolios pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, cross trades by the Portfolios under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

K. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral. The Portfolios also received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash Collateral Market Value | |
Large Cap International Portfolio | | $ | 55,186 | |
International Core Equity Portfolio | | | 314,556 | |
DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio | | | 16,995 | |
DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio | | | 86,568 | |
International Vector Equity Portfolio | | | 49,380 | |

World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio | | | 67,744 | |
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio | | | 1,231,666 | |
Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio | | | 7,426 | |
Each Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolio’s collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities on loan will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in the Money Market Series, an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, each Portfolio will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

L. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in Emerging Markets Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.
M. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
152
N. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Portfolios’ financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Portfolios could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Portfolios are required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Portfolios.
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Portfolios.
O. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance.
P. Other:
As of October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolios’ outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolios, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolios’ financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
On June 3, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order titled ”Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China” (the “Order”). Effective on August 2, 2021, the Order restricts investment in certain companies identified as “Chinese Military Industrial Complex Companies” (CMICs) by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, an agency of the Department of Treasury and the Department of Defense. As of July 27, 2021, the Portfolios have divested of all publicly traded securities identified as CMIC’s listed in the Order.
Q. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and transfer agents of the investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2021, these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios’ relative performance.
DFA International Value Portfolio
The DFA International Value Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of the DFA International Value Series, a Master Fund managed by Dimensional that invests in such securities. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, with increased exposure to stocks with smaller total market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability within the large-cap value segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of October 31, 2021, the Master Fund held approximately 510 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund’s assets.
159
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 50.55% for the Portfolio’s Class R2 shares, 50.90% for the Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares, and 35.59% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the Portfolio’s benchmark. With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks for the period, the Master Fund’s focus on value stocks contributed positively to performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
Dimensional Investment Group Inc.

The Fund consists of eleven portfolios, one of which, the DFA International Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), is presented in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Portfolio is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
The Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in The DFA International Value Series (the “Series”), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. As of October 31, 2021, the Portfolio owned 68% of the Series. The financial statements of the Series are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Portfolio.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolio uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Portfolio’s investment reflects its proportionate interests in the net assets of the Series. The valuation is classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Schedule of Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Directors may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Director shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Director’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Director in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director’s first deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
3. Other: The Portfolio recognizes its pro-rata share, on a daily basis, of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of investment securities from the Series, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolio are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average net assets.
Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets and earnings of the Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of the Portfolio are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio’s investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | | 0.32 | %* |
* | Effective as of February 28, 2021, the management fee payable by the Portfolio was reduced from 0.35% to 0.30%. |
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolio, as described in the notes below. A portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2022, may only be terminated by the Fund’s Board of Directors prior to that date and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Portfolio, as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by the Portfolio. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2021, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the
171
Advisor as of October 31, 2021, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). At any time that the Annualized Expense Ratio (defined below) of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount listed below, the Advisor retains the right to recover fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the expense ratio following such recovery would be less than the Expense Limitation Amount that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current Expense Limitation Amount for the Portfolio. The Advisor, however, will not be reimbursed by the Portfolio in connection with its Permanent Fee Waiver. The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is also not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.

(1) | Effective February 28, 2021, the Advisor has contractually agreed to permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by the Portfolio, including the proportionate share of the management fees the Portfolio pays indirectly through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund, to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the “Permanent Fee Waiver”). From February 28, 2020 to February 27, 2021, the Permanent Fee Waiver Limit was 0.35%. From July 21, 2015 to February 27, 2020, the Permanent Fee Waiver Limit was 0.40%. |
(2) | Effective February 28, 2021, the Advisor has contractually agreed to permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the DFA International Value Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by the Portfolio, including the proportionate share of the management fees the Portfolio pays indirectly through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund, to 0.30% of the average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the “Permanent Fee Waiver”). From February 28, 2020 to February 27, 2021, the Permanent Fee Waiver Limit was 0.35%. From July 21, 2015 to February 27, 2020, the Permanent Fee Waiver Limit was 0.40%. In addition to the Permanent Fee Waiver, the Advisor has contractually agreed (including for the time period prior to July 21, 2015) to assume the direct expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding management fees and custodian fees), to the extent necessary to limit the annualized expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies) to the rate listed above (the “Annualized Expense Ratio”). |
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $14 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
As of October 31, 2021, the total liability for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | 282 | |
172
E. Federal Income Taxes:
The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable earnings, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains or losses, or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, can occur as a result of realized gains on securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies”, net foreign currency gains/losses, and foreign capital gains tax reclass, and were reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during the years ended October 31, 2020, and October 31, 2021, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment Income and Short-Term Capital Gains | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Tax Exempt Income | | | Total | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
2020 | | $ | 226,443 | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 226,443 | |
2021 | | | 258,456 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 258,456 | |
As of October 31, 2021, the following net investment income and short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Net Investment | | | | | | | |
| | Income and | | | | | | | |
| | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | | |
| | Capital Gains | | | Capital Gains | | | Total | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | (2,374 | ) | | | — | | | $ | (2,374 | ) |
As of October 31, 2021, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Undistributed | | | | | | | | | Total Net | |
| | Net Investment | | | | | | | | | Distributable | |
| | Income and | | | Undistributed | | | Unrealized | | | Earnings | |
| | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Appreciation | | | (Accumulated | |
| | Capital Gains | | | Capital Gains | | | (Depreciation) | | | Losses) | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | 109,693 | | | | — | | | $ | 1,006,924 | | | $ | 1,116,617 | |
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, 2021, the Portfolio did not have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Portfolio used the following capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | 349,633 | |
173
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Unrealized | |
| | Federal | | | Unrealized | | | Unrealized | | | Appreciation | |
| | Tax Cost | | | Appreciation | | | (Depreciation) | | | (Depreciation) | |
DFA International Value Portfolio | | $ | 7,309,852 | | | $ | 1,128,895 | | | $ | (121,757 | ) | | $ | 1,007,138 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Portfolio’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
F. Capital Share Transactions:
The capital share transactions by class were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended | | | Year Ended | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
G. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.25% of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services to investors in the DFA International Value Portfolio’s Class R2 Shares.
H. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.
174
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
I. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Portfolio could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Portfolio to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Portfolio is required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Portfolio.
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Portfolio.
J. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
K. Other:
As of October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the following approximate percentages of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Approximate | |
| | | | | Percentage | |
| | Number of | | | of Outstanding | |
| | Shareholders | | | Shares | |
DFA International Value Portfolio-Class R2 | | | 5 | | | | 94 | % |
DFA International Value Portfolio-Institutional Class | | | 3 | | | | 65 | % |
175
The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Portfolio, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Portfolio’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
On June 3, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order titled ”Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China” (the “Order”). Effective on August 2, 2021, the Order restricts investment in certain companies identified as “Chinese Military Industrial Complex Companies” (CMICs) by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, an agency of the Department of Treasury and the Department of Defense. As of July 27, 2021, the Series have divested of all publicly traded securities identified as CMIC’s listed in the Order.
L. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Shareholders of DFA International Value Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of DFA International Value Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the security owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2021, these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios’ relative performance.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Tables below illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

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 ten operational portfolios, eight of which, The DFA International Value Series, The Japanese Small Company Series, The Asia Pacific Small Company Series, The United Kingdom Small Company Series, The Continental Small Company Series, The Canadian Small Company Series, The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series are included in this section of the report (collectively, the “Series”). The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Series are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”), Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.”
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Series use a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Securities held by the Series, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities held by the Series that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the Series value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Series is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Series may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
232
The Series will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time that the net asset values of the Series are computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Series price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the Series will fair-value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Series’ foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Series has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the Series uses data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When a Series uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Series’ foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Series are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series’ investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary Schedules of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Series, whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Series enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The Series do not isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities 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.
233
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees of the Trust; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust or Series are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Trustees, generally based on average net assets.
The Series may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Series accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. Additionally, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series are subject to tax on short-term and long-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.

F. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to their respective partners.
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Unrealized | |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Series’ tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in any Series’ financial statements. The Series are not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Series’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Series’ investment objectives and policies, the Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities held by the Series may be inhibited.
Series that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as The United Kingdom Small Company Series that concentrates investments in the United Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the political and economic conditions within such countries. For example, there is continuing uncertainty around the future of the euro and the European Union (EU) following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the EU (referred to as “Brexit”). Brexit may cause greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business confidence, and increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. While it is not possible to determine the precise impact these events may have on the Series, during this period and beyond, the impact on the UK, EU countries, other countries or parties that transact with the UK and EU, and the broader global economy could be significant and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Series’ investments.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series listed below may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Series. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Series as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Series records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Series could lose more than the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Series to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

H. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Series may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, activity by the Series under the interfund lending program was as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

I. Affiliated Trades:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, were executed by the Series pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, cross trades by the Series under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, each Series had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which each such Series received cash collateral. The Series also received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash | |
| | Collateral | |

The Japanese Small Company Series | | | 74,105 | |

The Continental Small Company Series | | | 14,824 | |
The Canadian Small Company Series | | | 8,455 | |
The Emerging Markets Series | | | 176,351 | |
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series | | | 554,856 | |
Each Series invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Series’ collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Series could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Series will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Series also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, each Series will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

K. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust.
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
L. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Series could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Series to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Series are required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Series.
243
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Series.
M. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect a Series’ performance.
N. Other:
The Series and the Trust are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Series and the Trust, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Series’ and the Trust’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders of 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
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, of 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 (eight of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Series”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Series as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2021, these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios’ relative performance.
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund
The Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund invests in value stocks of large and small companies in emerging markets. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability within the value segment of emerging markets. As of October 31, 2021, the Fund held approximately 3,260 securities in 22 eligible emerging markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Fund’s assets.
248
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2021, total returns were 35.69% for the Fund and 16.96% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund’s focus on low relative price (value) stocks contributed positively to performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark, as value stocks outperformed high relative price (growth) stocks in emerging markets for the period. With small-cap stocks outperforming large-cap stocks, the Fund’s inclusion of small-caps also contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed primarily of large-and mid-cap stocks.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 =7.5), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical “Ending Account Value” and “Expenses Paid During Period” are derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, if applicable. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

The regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund meets the definition as an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The Fund consists of one series.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Fund uses a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs-to-valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels described below:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies, and futures contracts) |
| • | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Securities held by the Fund, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. International equity securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note.
Securities held by the Fund that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the Fund values the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of the Fund is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from the quoted or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The Fund will also apply a fair value price in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time at which the net asset value of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the pricing of the Fund’s shares (at the close of the NYSE), the Fund will fair-value its foreign
262
investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Fund’s foreign investments since the last calculated closing prices of the foreign investments on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by the Fund uses data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Fund’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Fund are valued using the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments by each major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities of the Fund whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the Fund enters into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement. The Fund does not isolate the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities, whether realized or unrealized.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Fund and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Trustee of the Fund may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Large Company 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, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors’/ Trustees’ Fees & Expenses. As of October 31, 2021, 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 $591 (in thousands).
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by one of the following methods: lump sum, annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years, or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
263
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities and foreign currency are accounted for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are directly charged. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. Additionally, if there is a deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The Fund’s investments in Chile are subject to governmental taxes on investment income. Such taxes are due when currencies are repatriated from the country. The Fund accrues for taxes on income as the income is earned. The Fund is subject to tax on short-term and long-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management services to the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | | 0.10 | % |
Earned Income Credit:
Additionally, the Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a portion of the Fund’s custody expense. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of the Fund’s net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2021, expenses reduced were the following (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Fees Paid | |
| | Indirectly | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | $ | 65 | |
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $5 (in thousands) and are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
264
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s transactions related to investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind redemptions and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands), were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | $ | 2,003,796 | | | $ | 5,334,734 | |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, transactions related to Affiliated Investment Companies, excluding in-kind redemptions, are presented below.
The amounts presented below may differ from the respective amounts presented in the corresponding Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings, Statement of Assets and Liabilities or Statement of Operations due to rounding. The amounts are as follows (amounts in thousands):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Any net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed to have been “passed down” to their respective partners.
As of October 31, 2021, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Unrealized | |
| | Federal | | | Unrealized | | | Unrealized | | | Appreciation | |
| | Tax Cost | | | Appreciation | | | (Depreciation) | | | (Depreciation) | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | $ | 10,816,386 | | | $ | 4,113,515 | | | $ | (1,291,651 | ) | | $ | 2,821,864 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) can occur as a result of wash sales and net mark-to-market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, net mark--to-market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in tax treatment of passive foreign investment company instruments.
ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
265
F. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, the Fund may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities held by the Fund may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Fund.
2. Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign or U.S. equity securities and indices, to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying securities or indices, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments and from the possibility that the Fund could lose more than the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the Fund to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2021 was as follows (amount in thousands):

G. Line of Credit and Interfund Lending Program:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit effective April 7, 2021, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through April 7, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on April 6, 2022.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its international custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A line of credit with similar terms was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit agreement expires on January 1, 2022.
267
For the year ended October 31, 2021, borrowings by the Fund under the lines 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 | | | Outstanding Borrowings as of 10/31/2021 | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | | 0.83 | % | | $ | 13,109 | | | | 23 | | | $ | 10 | | | $ | 36,558 | | | | — | |
* | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the year ended October 31, 2021, that the Fund’s available line of credit was used. |
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, activity by the Fund under the interfund lending program was as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

* | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the year ended October 31, 2021 that the Fund utilized the interfund lending program. |
H. Affiliated Trades:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2021, if any, were executed by the Fund pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the Fund complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, cross trades by the Fund under Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | Realized Gain (Loss) | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | $ | 2,162 | | | $ | 1,166 | | | $ | (355 | ) |
268
I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers, for which the Fund received cash collateral. The Fund also received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amount in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Non-Cash Collateral Market Value | |
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund | | $ | 603,359 | |
The Fund invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Fund’s collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and such collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the securities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, the Fund could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to its stated investment policies, the Fund will generally invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Money Market Series”), an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Fund also may invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the Fund will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or, other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Regulations:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) imposes limits on the amount of derivatives contracts the Fund could enter, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by the Fund to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure to establish and maintain a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Derivatives Rule became effective February 19, 2021 and the Fund is required to comply on August 19, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the Derivatives Rule will have on the Fund.
On December 3, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Fund.
L. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic:
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

The Fund is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, ongoing claw back litigation against former shareholders of portfolio companies that filed for bankruptcy, such as The Tribune Company and Nine West). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Fund, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

On June 3, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order titled ”Addressing the Threat from Securities Investments that Finance Certain Companies of the People’s Republic of China” (the “Order”). Effective on August 2, 2021, the Order restricts investment in certain companies identified as “Chinese Military Industrial Complex Companies” (CMICs) by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, an agency of the Department of Treasury and the Department of Defense. As of July 27, 2021, the Fund have divested of all publicly traded securities identified as CMIC’s listed in the Order.
N. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FUND MANAGEMENT
(Unaudited)
Trustees/Directors
Each Board of Trustees/Directors (each, the “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), Dimensional ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”), 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 Trustees/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 three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Investment Strategy Committee (the “Strategy Committee”). The Audit Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Trustee/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 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, 2021.
Each Board’s Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate’s qualification for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and other principal service providers. There were four Nominating Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Each Board’s Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O’Reilly, Douglas W. Diamond, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios’ investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and (iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and 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.

TAX NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Unaudited)
The following information is solely for informational purposes. Each Portfolio is designating the U.S. federal income tax character of the following items with respect to distributions paid or expected to be paid to shareholders related to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For each classification below and including “Section 163(j) interest dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.163(j)-1(b)(35) and “Section 199A dividends” as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.199A -3(d), it is the intent of the Portfolio to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, shareholders generally must report distributions received from a Portfolio on a calendar-year basis, which therefore may include distributions with respect to portions of two fiscal years of the Portfolio. Annual statements needed by shareholders concerning the tax status of distributions received for the calendar year 2021 (e.g., IRS Form 1099-DIV) will be provided in early 2022. Shareholders should refer to these statements in preparing their calendar year 2021 tax returns. Please consult your tax advisor for the proper treatment of this information. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts in the table are expressed as a percentage of the distributions paid with respect to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

THE DFA SHORT TERM INVESTMENT FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2021
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 “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of ten operational series, one of which, The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (the “Fund”), is included in this report. The remaining series are presented in separate reports. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. As a money market fund, the Fund will pursue its investment objective by investing in U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt securities that meet the strict standards established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), which are in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
The Board is responsible for establishing the Trust’s policies and for overseeing the management of the Trust. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on prior experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 Fund 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 | | – | | Inputs are 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The securities held by the Fund are valued at market value or fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Debt securities are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable sources, including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of such securities.
Securities 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. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments is disclosed previously in this Note. A valuation hierarchy table has been provided below. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
When determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments, additional consideration is given to those assets or liabilities that have experienced a decrease in the volume or level of activity or have identified circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN – Each eligible trustee (each a “Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) of the Trust may elect to participate in the Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Large Company 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; DFA Inflation-Protected Securities 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 Director/Trustee Fees.
Each Trustee has the option to receive the distribution of proceeds in one of the following methods: lump sum; annual installments over a period of agreed-upon years; or quarterly installments over a period of agreed-upon years. Each Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the “Notice”) to defer the receipt of the Trustee’s deferred compensation until a date specified by such Trustee in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee’s first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee’s deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution date).
At October 31, 2021, the Fund’s total liability of $535,024 for deferred compensation to Trustees is included in the “Director/Trustee Fees” payable (a line item which also includes Trustee fees/expenses, currently in a prepaid state) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
3. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME – 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. The Fund generally declares distributions from net investment income on a daily basis and pays dividends monthly. Any capital gains are distributed at least annually. The Fund does not expect to realize any long-term capital gains and losses. The Fund may distribute such income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Fund. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes amortization or accretion of premia or discount using the straight-line method. Costs used in determining net realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold, adjusted for the accretion or amortization of purchase discounts or premia during the respective holding period.
4. ALLOCATIONS – The Trust bears all of its own fees, expenses, charges, assessments, taxes, and other costs incurred in its operation, whether incurred directly by the Trust or by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Advisor” or “DFA”), on its behalf. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated among the respective portfolios in the Trust on the basis of their relative net assets.

C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund is classified as a regulated investment company for tax purposes. As a regulated investment company, the Fund generally pays no U.S. federal income tax on the income and gains that the Fund distributes to shareholders.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulation, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary (e.g., wash sale losses) or permanent (e.g., reclassification of certain gain/loss and distributions) 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. There were no permanent differences as of October 31, 2021, attributable to distribution redesignations.
As of October 31, 2021, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities for federal income tax purposes are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Tax Cost of Securities | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation) | |
The DFA Short Term Investment Fund | | $ | 11,070,218,185 | | | $ | 377,605 | | | $ | (194,067 | ) | | $ | 183,538 | |
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.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | Net Investment Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
The DFA Short Term Investment Fund | | | | | | | | | | | | |

2020 | | | 132,105,179 | | | | — | | | | 132,105,179 | |
As of October 31, 2021, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Undistributed | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Long- Term Capital Gains | | | Accumulated Earnings | | | Distributions Payable | | | Accumulated Capital And Other Losses | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |

D. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement (“RA”) transactions with counterparties with creditworthiness and other characteristics deemed appropriate by the Advisor. The Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing an RA. Collateral for certain tri-party RAs is held at the counterparty’s custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty. The counterparty will be required to maintain collateral with a value at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. RA transactions involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delay or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the collateral and a possible decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
RAs permit the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the RA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the RA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the RA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the RA counterparty, the Fund would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.
E. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
INVESTMENT MANAGER – Dimensional Fund Advisors LP serves as investment advisor to the Fund. Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Trust with respect to the Fund (the “Investment Management Agreement”), the Advisor manages the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets. DFA has served as the Fund’s investment advisor since the Fund’s commencement of operations. Pursuant to the terms of the investment management agreement, the Advisor receives a management fee calculated daily and payable monthly from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets.
FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES – Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”)) receive no compensation from the Trust. Amounts paid to the Trust’s CCO are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “CCO fees”.
At October 31, 2021, the following number of shareholders held the approximate percentage of the Fund’s outstanding shares:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shareholders | | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares | |
The DFA Short Term Investment Fund | | | 2 | | | | 19 | % |
F. INTEREST RATE AND CREDIT RISKS
The Fund invests primarily in money market instruments maturing in 397 calendar days or less and which are considered Eligible Securities (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act). The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Currently, interest rates are at or near historic lows, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to the risks associated with rising interest rates. When interest rates are very low, the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a portion of the Fund’s income and yield. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments may affect interest rates.
The Fund is subject to the risk that the Advisor’s security selection and expectations regarding interest rate trends will cause the yields of the Fund to lag the performance of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives or the performance of short-term debt instruments. The emphasis of the Fund on quality and liquidity also could cause the Fund to underperform when compared to other money market funds, particularly those that take greater maturity and credit risks.

G. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered into a $700 million unsecured line of credit with its custodian bank effective January 2, 2021. A similar line of credit for $700 million was in effect through January 2, 2021. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 1, 2022. There were no borrowings by the Fund under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2021.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the “Order”), the Fund may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with its investment objective and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one business day’s notice.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, activity by the Fund under the interfund lending program was as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Lender | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | | Number of Days Outstanding* | | | Weighted Average Annualized Interest Rate | | | Interest Income (Expense) | |
The DFA Short Term | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investment Fund | | $ | 70,986 | | | | 9 | | | | 0.43 | % | | $ | 8 | |
* | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days during the year ended October 31, 2021, that the Fund’s interfund lending program was used. |
H. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, with further amendments to Topic 848. The amendments in the ASUs provide optional temporary accounting recognition and financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021 and 2023. The ASUs are effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
On December 3, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rule 2a-5 (the “Valuation Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Fund.

I. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
J. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has resulted, at times, in market closures, market volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in global travel restrictions and disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations and supply chains, layoffs, reduced consumer demand, defaults and credit rating downgrades, and other significant economic impacts. The effects of COVID-19 have impacted global economic activity and may heighten pre-existing political, social and economic risks, domestically or globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable and may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders of The DFA Short Term Investment Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of The DFA Short Term Investment Fund (one of the funds constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES
The following Expense Table is shown so that you can understand the impact of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among others. Operating expenses and legal and audit services, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs, in dollars, of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The Expense Table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways.
Actual Fund Return
This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return and “Expenses Paid During Period” reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a $7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by the number in the table 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 5/1/21 | | | Ending Account Value 10/31/21 | | | Expenses Paid During Period 5/1/21 - 10/31/21(1) | | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period | |
The DFA Short Term Investment Fund | | Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.20 | | | $ | 0.30 | | | | 0.06 | % |
| Hypothetical | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.90 | | | | 0.31 | | | | 0.06 | |
| (1) | 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. |

Each Board of Trustees/Directors (each, the “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”) of The DFA Investment Trust Company (“DFAITC”), DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (“DFAIDG”), Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (“DIG”), Dimensional ETF Trust (“ETF Trust”), 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 Trustees/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 three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and an Investment Strategy Committee (the “Strategy Committee”). The Audit Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Audit Committee is a disinterested Trustee/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 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, 2021.
Each Board’s Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate’s qualification for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and other principal service providers. There were four Nominating Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Each Board’s Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O’Reilly, Douglas W. Diamond, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios’ investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and (iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and 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.

ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that Abbie J. Smith possesses the technical attributes to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” serving on the Registrant’s Audit Committee and has designated Ms. Smith as the “audit committee financial expert.” Ms. Smith
earned a Ph.D. in Accounting, and has taught Accounting at the graduate level since 1980. Ms. Smith’s education and career have provided her with an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; and experience preparing, analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Registrant’s financial statements. In addition, Ms. Smith has served on the boards of directors and audit committees of entities other than the Registrant. Ms. Smith is independent under the standards set forth in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

| (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 mechanisms by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations. Pre-approval of non-audit services may be achieved through a combination of the procedures described in Sections C and D below.
| 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) (the “Independent Directors”). |
| C. | Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service Affiliates—by Types of Services |
| 1. | The Committee may pre-approve types of non-audit services (including tax services) to the Funds and their Service Affiliates pursuant to this Section C. |
| 2. | Annually, at such time as the Committee considers the Engagement of the Auditor, management of the Funds, in consultation with the Auditor, shall provide to the Committee, for its consideration and action, the following: (a) a list of those types of non-audit services, if any, that the Funds may request from the Auditor during the fiscal year; and (b) a list of those types of non-audit services directly impacting the Funds’ operations and financial reporting that Service Affiliates may request from the Auditor during the fiscal year. |
| 3. | The lists submitted to the Committee shall describe the types of non-audit services in reasonable detail (which may include a range of tax services) and shall include an estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees, where possible, and such other information as the Committee may request. If management and the Auditor desire the Committee to preapprove the furnishing of a range of tax services, the Auditor shall provide an estimated range of fees for such tax services for the consideration and approval by the Committee. |
| 4. | The Committee’s pre-approval of the types of non-audit services submitted pursuant to this Section C shall constitute authorization for management of the Funds to utilize the Auditor for the types of non-audit services so pre-approved, if needed or desired during the fiscal year. |
| 5. | A list of the types of non-audit services pre-approved by the Committee pursuant to this Section C will be distributed to management of the Service Affiliates and the appropriate partners of the Auditor. Periodically, the Auditor will discuss with the Committee those non-audit services that have been or are being provided pursuant to this Section C. |
| D. | Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services to the Funds and to Service Affiliates—Project-by-Project Basis |
| 1. | The Committee also may pre-approve non-audit services on a project-by-project basis pursuant to this Section D. |
| 2. | Management of the Funds, in consultation with the Auditor, may submit either to the Committee or to the Designated Member, as provided in this Section D, for their consideration and action, a pre-approval request identifying one or more non-audit service projects. The request so submitted shall describe the project(s) in reasonable detail and shall include an estimated budget (or budgeted range) of fees and such other information as the Committee or the Designated Member, as appropriate, shall request. |
| 3. | The Committee, from time to time, shall designate one or more of its members who are Independent Directors (each a “Designated Member”) to consider, on the Committee’s behalf, any non-audit services, whether to the Funds or to any Service Affiliate, that have not been pre-approved by the Committee. The Designated Member also shall review, on the Committee’s behalf, any proposed material change in the nature or extent of any non-audit services previously approved. The Funds’ management, in consultation with the Auditor, shall explain why such non-audit services or material change in non-audit services are necessary and appropriate and the anticipated costs thereof. |
| 4. | The Designated Member will review the requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services and will either: |
| (a) | pre-approve, pre-approve subject to conditions, or disapprove any such requested services, or any proposed material change in services, whether to the Funds or to a Service Affiliate; or |
| (b) | refer such matter to the full Committee for its consideration and action. |
In considering any requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services, the Designated Member’s authority shall be limited to approving non-audit services or proposed material changes that do not exceed $10,000 in value.
| 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, 2021 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, 2021: $1,355,006 |
| Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2020: $1,318,159 |
| (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. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders of 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
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, of 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 (nine of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Series”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) as of October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Series as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodians, brokers and transfer agent of the investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
