RE: Dimensional Investment Group Inc.- CIK No. 0000861929
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment to
Registration Statement
on Form N-1A
File Nos. 33-33980 and 811-6067
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), submitted electronically via the EDGAR system, please
consider this correspondence as an application to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the
"Commission") for an order permitting Dimensional Investment Group
Inc. (the "Fund") to withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 31/32
(the "Amendment") to its Registration Statement of Form N-1A,
which was filed with the Commission on May 15, 2000 (Accession
Number 0000912057-00-024954).
The Amendment had been submitted pursuant to Rule
485(a) under the 1933 Act, to add four new series of shares to
the Fund: the Dividend-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio
II, the Dividend-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Complement
Portfolio II, the Dividend-Managed U.S. Large Company Portfolio
II and the Dividend-Managed U.S. Large Company Complement
Portfolio II (together, the "New Series"). Subsequent to the
filing of the Amendment with the SEC, as a result of a changed
marketing climate, the Fund has determined to eliminate the New
Series. Shares of the New Series have never been offered to the
public and the Amendment has not become effective.
Based upon the foregoing, the Fund respectfully submits
that such a withdrawal would be consistent with the public
interest and the protection of investors. The Fund requests
that, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 477(a) under the
1933 Act, the SEC issue an order granting the desired withdrawal.
The Fund notes that the above matters were discussed
with Frank Dalton, Branch Chief to Branch 22, Office of
Disclosure and Review #2, in the SEC's Division of Investment
Management, on Tuesday, July 18, 2000, and with the SEC's Briccio
B. Barrientos, the Fund's examiner, also of the Division of
Investment Management, on Thursday, July 20, 2000.
Please direct any questions or comments relating to
this filing to me at the above-referenced telephone number or, in
my absence, to Mark A. Sheehan, Esquire at (215) 564-8027.
Sincerely,

Request for Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment
No. 31/32
to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A
Registration Nos. 33-33980; 811-6067
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the "Fund") desires to
withdraw, and hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") withdraw, Post-Effective Amendment
No. 31/32 (the "Amendment") to the Fund's Registration Statement,
which had been filed with the Commission on May 15, 2000
(Accession Number 0000912057-00-024954) on Form N-1A. The Fund
believes that such action would be consistent with the public
interest and the protection of investors, since the Fund has not
made a public offering of the shares of the four new series
contained in the Amendment, and the Amendment has not become
effective.
Very truly yours,
DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
