DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The year ending October 31, 2012, saw reduced volatility for U.S. equities
with positive returns in three out of four quarters for the widely used
benchmarks. The year began in the wake of MF Global's bankruptcy filing brought
on by losses on European sovereign debt. Many headlines for the rest of the
year also originated from Europe, from the Greek debt swap to the LIBOR scandal
that reached a crescendo in July.
Broad market returns were mostly positive for the first five months through
March 2012, but negative returns following the Facebook IPO and JP Morgan's
reported $2 billion trading loss made May the worst month of the year. The last
trading day of the year followed two days of market closures in the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy. Through all this, U.S. markets rose in 8 out of the 12
months in the period.
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") believes that
among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of
diversified equity portfolios are the market capitalization and value/ growth
characteristics of the portfolios' holdings. Value characteristics are a
function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics
such as earnings, dividends, and book value.
The size premium was negative during the year with small cap stocks
underperforming large cap stocks. Micro cap stocks were the strongest
performers as measured by the indices below.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 3000(R) Index.................................. 14.75%
Russell Microcap(R) Index (micro cap stocks)........... 16.49%
Russell 2000(R) Index (small cap stocks)............... 12.08%
Russell 1000(R) Index (large cap stocks)............... 14.97%
Dow Jones US Select REIT Index......................... 14.09%
The value premium was positive across both large cap and small cap stocks.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 2000(R) Value Index (small cap value stocks)... 14.47%
Russell 2000(R) Growth Index (small cap growth stocks). 9.70%
Russell 1000(R) Value Index (large cap value stocks)... 16.89%
Russell 1000(R) Growth Index (large cap growth stocks). 13.02%

For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2012 were attributable primarily to differences in
value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of REIT
securities from most Dimensional portfolios and the exclusion of securities of
highly regulated utilities from most value strategies. For many portfolios, the
construction approach used by Dimensional generally resulted in portfolios with
greater weight in value or small-cap and micro-cap companies relative to widely
used benchmarks.

Master-Feeder Structure
Certain portfolios described below, called "Feeder Funds," do not buy
individual securities directly; instead, these portfolios invest in
corresponding funds called "Master Funds." Master Funds, in turn, purchase
stocks and/or other securities.
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio
The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to outperform the total
return of the S&P 500(R) Index. This strategy combines investment in investment
grade, short-term fixed income instruments with an overlay of S&P 500(R) Index
futures contracts, swaps, and/or ETFs. For the 12 months ended October 31,
2012, approximately 97% of the equity exposure consisted of S&P 500(R) Index
futures contracts. ETFs accounted for the remaining exposure. The behavior of
S&P 500(R) Index futures contracts and ETFs linked to the S&P 500(R) Index is
determined principally by the performance of the S&P 500(R) Index.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, the total return was 15.84% for
the Portfolio and 15.21% for the S&P 500(R) Index. Relative to the Index, the
Portfolio's outperformance was primarily due to the fixed income component of
the Portfolio exceeding the interest rate embedded in the Portfolio's S&P
500(R) futures contracts. The Portfolio's concentration in government agency
and corporate fixed income securities with maturities between one and two years
had the most significant contribution to the outperformance. As credit spreads
narrowed during the period, these securities generated excess return, adding to
the positive return of the S&P 500(R) Index. The Portfolio also benefited from
increasing exposure to Euro-denominated securities during a year when
Euro-denominated sovereign and corporate interest rates decreased.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S.
large company value stocks by purchasing shares of The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series, a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. Value is measured primarily
by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, and
does not attempt to closely track a specific equity index. As of October 31,
2012, the Master Fund held approximately 250 securities and was mostly invested
in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was
less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 18.14% for the
Portfolio and 16.89% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Value stocks, particularly in the
largest size category, generally outperformed during the period. The Master
Fund had significantly greater exposure than the Index to value stocks, which
contributed to the relative outperformance. The Master Fund's exclusion of
REITs and highly regulated utilities also helped performance as both of these
sectors underperformed the overall Index during the period.
U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio
The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S.
small- and mid-capitalization value stocks. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification and consistent exposure to small and mid-cap value
stocks, and does not attempt to closely track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 1,500 securities, and was
mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for
the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 14.67% for the
Portfolio's Class R1 shares, 14.46% for the Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 14.78%
for the Portfolio's Institutional Class shares, and 14.47% for the Russell
2000(R) Value Index. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in
the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks.
The Portfolio's greater exposure than the Index to deep value stocks in the
mid-cap size range
14
was the primary contributor to relative outperformance. Mid-caps generally
outperformed small cap stocks over the period. The Portfolio's exclusion of
highly regulated utilities also helped performance as this sector
underperformed the overall Index.
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S.
small company value stocks. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market
ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification and consistent exposure to small capitalization and value
stocks, and does not attempt to closely track a specific index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 1,300 securities and was
mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for
the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 15.60% for the
Portfolio and 14.47% for the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater exposure to
deep value stocks at both the larger and smaller ends of the eligible market
capitalization range helped relative outperformance. The Portfolio's exclusion
of highly regulated utilities also helped performance as this sector
underperformed the overall Index.
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total
U.S. market universe with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and
value stocks relative to the market. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification and comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks,
and does not attempt to closely track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 3,000 securities and was
mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for
the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 14.29% for the
Portfolio and 14.75% for the Russell 3000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio had less exposure
than the Index to large cap stocks and greater exposure to small cap stocks,
both of which contributed to relative underperformance as large cap stocks
outperformed small caps during the period. The Portfolio's exclusion of REITs
detracted from relative performance as this sector outperformed the overall
Index.
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the total
U.S. market universe with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and
value stocks relative to the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio and the market. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and
comprehensive exposure to U.S. stocks, and does not attempt to closely track a
specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately
3,100 securities and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The
average cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 14.81% for the
Portfolio and 14.75% for the Russell 3000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's emphasis on value
stocks across all size categories was the primary contributor to relative
outperformance.
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio
The U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a broadly
diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks with increased exposure to smaller company
stocks and value stocks relative to the market. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, and does not attempt to
closely track a specific equity
15
index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 2,900
securities and was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average
cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 14.55% for the
Portfolio, 14.75% for the Russell 3000(R) Index, and 13.00% for the Russell
2500(R) Index. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.S.
equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Relative
to the Russell 3000(R) Index, the Portfolio had less exposure to large cap
stocks which was the primary contributor to relative underperformance. Large
cap stocks outperformed the other size categories as well as the overall Index
during the period. The Portfolio's exclusion of REITs also detracted from
relative performance as this sector outperformed the overall Index. Relative to
the Russell 2500(R) Index, the Portfolio's emphasis on value stocks across all
size categories was the primary contributor to relative outperformance.
As of February 28, 2012, the Russell 3000(R) Index has been selected to
replace the Russell 2500(R) Index as the appropriate benchmark for the
Portfolio because this index better reflects the universe of securities in
which the Portfolio invests.
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small
company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification and consistent exposure to small capitalization stocks, and
does not attempt to closely track a specific equity index. As of October 31,
2012, the Portfolio held approximately 2,300 securities and was mostly invested
in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 13.61% for the
Portfolio and 12.08% for the Russell 2000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater exposure
than the Index to the smallest micro cap stocks was a primary contributor to
relative outperformance. The Portfolio also had less exposure than the Index to
mid-cap stocks which was also beneficial as these stocks underperformed small
cap and micro cap stocks.
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of very small U.S.
company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification and consistent exposure to very small company stocks, and does
not attempt to closely track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012,
the Portfolio held approximately 2,000 securities and was mostly invested in
equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 13.13% for the
Portfolio and 12.08% for the Russell 2000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio focuses on micro cap
stocks while the Index has exposure to small and mid-cap stocks. The
outperformance of micro cap stocks relative to small and mid cap stocks was the
primary driver of outperformance relative to the benchmark.
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate securities (i.e., REITs), but
does not attempt to closely track a specific index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Portfolio held approximately 115 REITs. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 14.45% for the
Portfolio, 14.09% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT IndexSM, and 15.21% for
the S&P 500(R) Index. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in
the U.S. real estate
16
securities market rather than the behavior of a limited number of securities.
The Portfolio has a lower market cap floor than the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT
Index/SM/ and invests in small cap REITs that may not be included in the Index.
The Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/ also excludes net lease REITS which
are eligible for the Portfolio. Securities held by the Portfolio and excluded
by the Index generally outperformed the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/
over the period, benefiting relative performance.
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The one-year period ending October 31, 2012, was characterized by generally
positive monthly returns with a sharp decline in the month of May. The MSCI
World ex USA Index (net dividends) dropped by -11.4% in the month of May due to
the deepening European debt crisis and concern over a potential Greece exit
from the euro. In response to the crisis, European leaders met and planned out
additional measures to stabilize the markets which positively impacted market
returns in the following months. As measured by the MSCI indices below for
developed markets outside the U.S., value stocks generally outperformed their
growth counterparts, while small cap stocks outperformed large caps.

Global REIT Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The publicly traded global REIT market produced positive overall returns
during the one-year period ending October 31, 2012. Country-level dispersion of
returns was high as there were definite winners and losers. The largest REIT
market, the United States, advanced significantly, but not to the extent of
non-US REITs. Pacific Rim-based REITs produced some of the strongest returns.
Still struggling with a debt crisis now entering its third year, Continental
Europe underperformed, although REITs in this region did manage a positive
return. Dispersion was prevalent across REIT sub-sectors as well. Residential
REITs, which on a global basis are disproportionately US based, was the poorest
performing REIT sub-sector. Industrial and retail REITs fared among the best.

Master-Feeder Structure
Certain portfolios described below, called "Feeder Funds," do not buy
individual securities directly; instead, these portfolios invest in
corresponding funds called a "Master Fund." The Master Funds, in turn, purchase
stocks and/or other securities.
18
Large Cap International Portfolio
The Large Cap International Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified basket of international large company stocks. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, and
does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,400 securities in 23 developed markets. In
general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The
average cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 5.89% for the
Portfolio and 4.40% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Portfolio's outperformance was primarily attributable to differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and the Index. The
Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets
while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also may use fair
value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
International Core Equity Portfolio
The International Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with increased exposure to
smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, and does not
attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio
held approximately 4,900 securities in 23 developed markets. In general, the
Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash
exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 5.49% for the
Portfolio and 4.40% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Portfolio's outperformance was primarily attributable to differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and the Index. The
Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets
while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also may use fair
value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
International Small Company Portfolio
The International Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
international small company stocks by purchasing shares of five Master Funds
that invest individually in Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe
(including Israel and excluding the U.K.), Japan, and the Asia Pacific region
ex Japan. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, and does not
attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Master
Funds collectively held approximately 4,600 securities in 23 developed market
countries. In general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in the Master Funds
throughout the year. The combined average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 5.63% for the
Portfolio and 4.86% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends).
As a result of each Master Fund's diversified investment approach, the
Portfolio's performance was determined principally by broad structural trends
in international equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Portfolio's outperformance was primarily attributable to
differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Master Funds
(other than the Master Fund for Canadian small cap securities) and the Index.
The Master Funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Funds also
may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing
of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
19
Japanese Small Company Portfolio
The Japanese Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
Japanese small company stocks by purchasing shares of The Japanese Small
Company Series, a Master Fund that invests in such securities. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent
exposure to small company stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific
equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 1,400
securities. In general, the Master Fund was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 0.20% for the
Portfolio and -1.01% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the Japanese equity
market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's
outperformance was primarily attributable to the Master Fund's holdings of
companies with a market capitalization below $500 million. These stocks are
generally considered too small to be included in the Index and outperformed
other stocks, contributing to the Portfolio's relative performance. The Master
Fund's outperformance was also attributable to differences in the valuation
timing and methodology between the Master Fund and the Index. The Master Fund
prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the
Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund also may use fair value
pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio
The Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
small company stocks in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore, by
purchasing shares of The Asia Pacific Small Company Series, a Master Fund that
invests in such securities. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company
stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 1,000 securities across
the eligible countries. In general, the Master Fund was mostly invested in
equities during the period. The average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 7.09% for the
Portfolio and 4.01% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net
dividends). As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in Asia
Pacific equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks.
In particular, the Index held a number of larger Australian companies at higher
weights than the Series and these stocks underperformed, benefitting the
Series' relative performance. The Master Fund's outperformance was also
attributable to differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Master Fund and the Index. The Master Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The
Master Fund also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio
The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
U.K. small company stocks by purchasing shares of The United Kingdom Small
Company Series, a Master Fund that invests in such securities. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent
exposure to small company stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific
equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 360
securities. In general, the Master Fund was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 22.82% for the
Portfolio and 20.73% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the U.K. equity market,
rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund
generally excluded stocks not listed on the London Stock Exchange whereas the
Index held a number of stocks listed on other exchanges. The stocks that were
excluded by the Master Fund significantly underperformed, contributing to the
Master Fund's relative performance. In addition, the
20
Master Fund held a number of stocks that were considered to be too large for
the Index. These larger names outperformed, which had a positive impact on
relative performance. The Master Fund's outperformance was also attributable to
differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Master Fund and
the Index. The Master Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the
U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
Continental Small Company Portfolio
The Continental Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
small company stocks in developed markets of Europe (excluding the U.K.) and
Israel, by purchasing shares of The Continental Small Company Series, a Master
Fund that invests in such securities. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small
company stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 1,400 securities in 15
developed continental European countries and Israel. Country allocations
generally reflect the approximate weights of individual securities within a
universe of continental European and Israeli small company stocks constructed
by the Advisor. In general, the Master Fund was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 1.85% for the
Portfolio and 3.75% for the MSCI Europe ex UK Small Cap Index (net dividends).
As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance
was determined principally by broad structural trends in the continental
European (excluding the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets, rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund defines the small cap
universe differently than the Index. For the one-year period, this led to
differences in country weights as well as holdings within certain countries. In
particular, the Master Fund had a lower allocation to Norway, one of the best
performing countries, which detracted from relative performance. Differences in
the Master Fund's definition of the small cap universe also resulted in the
exclusion or lower weighting of larger securities in Norway, Germany and Sweden
which also outperformed, and detracted from the Series' relative performance.
For the period, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Master Fund and the Index contributed positively to the Master Fund's
performance. The Master Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of
the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master
Fund also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at
the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing
prices.
DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to
capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate
securities in international markets but does not attempt to track a specific
index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 200 securities
in 20 developed and emerging market countries. In general, the Portfolio was
mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for
the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 22.34% for the
Portfolio and 20.40% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified approach, performance was determined
principally by structural trends in international real estate securities
markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Withholding tax
rate differences between the Portfolio and the Index contributed to the
Portfolio's relative outperformance. Differences in the valuation timing and
methodology between the Portfolio and the Index also benefited relative
performance. The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the
U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also
may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing
of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
21
DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, a fund of funds, is
designed to capture the returns of a broadly diversified portfolio of real
estate securities in U.S. and international markets, but does not attempt to
track a specific index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio invested in the
DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio and the DFA Real Estate
Securities Portfolio (the "Underlying Funds"). As of October 31, 2012, the
Underlying Funds held approximately 320 securities in 21 developed and emerging
markets countries. In general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 17.33% for the
Portfolio and 16.22% for the S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Portfolio's diversified approach, performance was principally determined
by structural trends in global real estate securities markets rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. Withholding tax rate differences
between the Portfolio and the Index contributed to the Portfolio's relative
outperformance. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between one
of the Underlying Funds-The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio
and the Index also benefited relative performance. The DFA International Real
Estate Securities Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the
U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The DFA
International Real Estate Securities Portfolio also may use fair value pricing
to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while
the Index uses local market closing prices.
DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio
The DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns
of international small company value stocks. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small
company value stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As
of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 2,100 securities in 23
developed market countries. In general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in
equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 6.92% for the
Portfolio and 4.86% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends).
As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in international equity
markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The primary
reason for the Portfolio's relative outperformance against the Index was that
the Portfolio held a number of larger U.K. value stocks that were not present
in the Index's holdings of U.K. securities. These U.K. issuers significantly
outperformed, contributing to the Portfolio's relative outperformance. To a
lesser extent, the Portfolio's outperformance was also attributable to
differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and
the Index. The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the
U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also
may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing
of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
International Vector Equity Portfolio
The International Vector Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified basket of international stocks, with increased exposure to
smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics than the
International Core Equity Portfolio. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification, and does not attempt to track a specific
equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 4,000
securities in 23 developed markets. In general, the Portfolio was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 4.90% for the
Portfolio and 4.40% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the international equity
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Portfolio's outperformance was primarily attributable to differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and the Index. The
Portfolio prices foreign exchange
22
rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm
London time. The Portfolio also may use fair value pricing to price certain
portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
local market closing prices.
World ex U.S. Value Portfolio
The World ex U.S. Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of value
stocks across all market capitalizations in international developed and
emerging markets by purchasing shares of three funds managed by Dimensional:
The DFA International Value Series, DFA International Small Cap Value
Portfolio, and Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the "Underlying
Funds"). Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent
exposure to value stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity
index. As of October 31, 2012, the Underlying Funds collectively held
approximately 4,800 securities. In general, the Portfolio was mostly invested
in equities. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 2.70% for the
Portfolio and 3.98% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net
dividends). As a result of the Underlying Funds' diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad structural trends in
the international and emerging equity markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Portfolio focuses on value stocks, as measured by
book-to-market, while the Index is neutral with regard to value or growth.
Although small-cap value stocks in developed markets performed relatively well,
value stocks in both developed and emerging markets, as measured by high
book-to-market ratios, generally underperformed during the period. The
Portfolio had significantly greater exposure than the Index to value stocks,
which was the primary reason for the Portfolio's relative underperformance. For
the period, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Underlying Funds and the Index contributed positively to the Portfolio's
relative performance. The Underlying Funds price foreign exchange rates at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The
Underlying Funds also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio
The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by
Dimensional. As of the date of this report, the mutual funds invested in by the
Portfolio include the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, International Core Equity
Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the "Underlying Funds").
The Portfolio hedges foreign currency exposure on a selective basis to capture
positive forward currency premiums. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure in each Underlying
Fund to stocks with desired asset class characteristics. As of October 31,
2012, the Underlying Funds held more than 11,000 equity securities in 44
countries.
From the Portfolio's inception on November 14, 2011, through October 31,
2012, total returns were 11.11% for the Portfolio and 10.48% for the MSCI All
Country World Index (net dividends). As a result of the Underlying Funds'
diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by
broad structural trends in global equity markets rather than the behavior of a
limited group of stocks in a particular industry or country. Differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the international Underlying Funds and
the Index contributed significantly to relative outperformance. The
international Underlying Funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of
the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The
international Underlying Funds also may use fair value pricing to price certain
portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
local market closing prices. The Portfolio's relative outperformance, as
compared to the Index, was also attributable to its currency hedging with
respect to the euro, Swiss franc, and Japanese yen.
Emerging Markets Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of large cap
stocks in selected emerging markets countries by purchasing shares of The
Emerging Markets Series, a Master Fund that invests in such securities. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and
consistent exposure to large
23
cap emerging markets stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity
index. As of October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 970
securities across 20 emerging markets. In general, the Portfolio was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets. The Master Fund's country
weights were capped at 15% of assets associated with any one country at the
time of purchase by the manager to limit single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 4.08% for the
Portfolio and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of
a limited number of stocks. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Master Fund and the Index were the primary reason for the
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. The Master Fund prices
foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund also may use fair value pricing to
price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the
Index uses local market closing prices.
Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
small company stocks in selected emerging markets by purchasing shares of the
Emerging Markets Small Cap Series, a Master Fund that invests in such
securities. The Master Fund's investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company
stocks in selected emerging markets, and does not attempt to track a specific
equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 2,900
securities across 16 emerging markets. In general, the Master Fund was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets. The Master Fund's country
weights were capped at 15% of assets associated with any one country upon
purchase by the manager to limit single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 6.71% for the
Portfolio and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified approach, performance was principally
determined by structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of
a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund focuses on small cap stocks while
the Index primarily holds mid-cap and large cap stocks. Emerging markets small
cap stocks outperformed larger companies over the period. The Master Fund's
significantly greater exposure than the Index to small cap stocks contributed
to the relative outperformance. In addition, differences in country weights
between the Master Fund and the Index also contributed to the Master Fund's
relative outperformance. To a lesser extent, differences in the valuation
timing and methodology between the Master Fund and the Index also contributed
to outperformance. The Master Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master
Fund also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at
the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing
prices.
Emerging Markets Value Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of value
stocks of any market capitalization size in selected emerging markets by
purchasing shares of the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, a Master Fund
that invests in such securities. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market
ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification and consistent exposure to emerging markets value stocks, and
does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Master Fund held approximately 2,200 securities across 18 emerging markets. In
general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The
average cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets. The Master Fund's country weights were capped at 15% of assets
associated with any one country at the time of purchase by the manager to limit
single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 0.43% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 0.70% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was
generally determined
24
by broad structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Master Fund focuses on value stocks, as measured
by book-to-market, while the Index is neutral with regard to value or growth.
Value stocks in emerging markets significantly underperformed during the
period. The Master Fund had significantly greater exposure than the Index to
value stocks, which was the primary contributor to relative underperformance.
In particular, the Master Fund had lower exposure than the Index to large cap
growth stocks in the Information Technology sector, which significantly
outperformed and detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance.
Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Master Fund and
the Index contributed positively to performance of the Master Fund. The Master
Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the
Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund also may use fair value
pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broad universe of stocks in selected emerging markets with increased exposure
to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics, as
measured by book-to-market. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to selected emerging
markets countries, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held approximately 3,600 securities across 20
emerging markets. In general, the Portfolio was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets. The Portfolio's country weights were capped at 15%
of assets associated with any one country at the time of purchase by the
manager to limit single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 3.55% for the
Portfolio and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of
a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio invests in stocks across all size
categories while the Index primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks.
Emerging markets small cap stocks outperformed large caps during the period.
The Portfolio's greater exposure to small cap stocks contributed to the
Portfolio's relative outperformance. This was partially offset by the
Portfolio's greater exposure to value stocks, which underperformed. Differences
in the valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and the Index
also had a positive impact on relative performance. The Portfolio prices
foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also may use fair value pricing to
price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the
Index uses local market closing prices.

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

Portfolio, World ex U.S. Value Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity
Portfolio also invest in short-term temporary cash investments. In addition,
Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio engages in futures and forward

The financial statements of the Master Funds are included elsewhere in this
report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the
Feeder Funds.
Prior to March 30, 2007, U.S.Targeted Value Portfolio invested substantially
all of its assets in shares of The U.S. Targeted Value Series. At the close of
business on March 29, 2007, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio received its pro-rata
share of cash and securities from The U.S. Targeted Value Series in a complete
liquidation of its interest in the Series. Effective March 30, 2007, U.S.
Targeted Value Portfolio invests directly in securities rather than through the
Series and maintains the same investment objective.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund
in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its
respective Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from
that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to
Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and
retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and
financial highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership
for book purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and
present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for investment partnerships.
Effective February 28, 2009, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S.
Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap
Portfolio invest directly in securities rather than through a Master Fund. See
Federal Income Taxes note for more information regarding these transactions.
Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund ("DEM
II"), a master fund in a master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of
its Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of
an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury
Regulation (S)301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive
reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for DEM II is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book
purposes. DEM II and the Portfolio will maintain their books and records and
present their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") on
September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of
the Portfolios from November 30 to October 31.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, 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 Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three broad levels described below:
. Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies,
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)

Equity Portfolios"), including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the
last quoted sale price at the close of the exchanges on which they are
principally traded (official closing price). International equity securities
are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities
held by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International Equity Portfolios
that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the
Domestic Equity Portfolios and International Equity Portfolios value the
securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices which
approximate fair value. Price information on listed securities is taken from
the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities
issued by open-end investment companies are valued using their respective net
asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders
placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). 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/Trustees. Fair value pricing may also be used if events
that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in
the discretion of the Investment Committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP)
occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is
used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolios and
International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices
for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities
are generally categorized as Level 2 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, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is
fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the
time that the net asset values of the International Equity Portfolios are
computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant
foreign securities exchanges and the time the International Equity Portfolios
price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the International Equity
Portfolios will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that
the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not
readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of
the U.S. financial markets' perceptions and trading activities on the
International Equity Portfolios' foreign investments since the last closing
prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign
securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund have determined that movements in relevant
indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo
Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations
may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily
basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios utilizes
data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon,
among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When an
International Equity Portfolio uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to
the International Equity Portfolio's foreign investments may not be the quoted
or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.
These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, (the "Fixed
Income 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 which are traded over the counter and on a stock exchange generally
will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market, and it
is expected that for bonds and other fixed income securities, this ordinarily
will be the over the counter market. Securities for which quotations are not
readily available (including restricted securities), or for which market
quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith at fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees. These
valuations are generally classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
138
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 actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the
hierarchy.
Master Fund shares held by DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio,
World ex U.S. Value Portfolio, and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio
are valued at their respective daily net asset value. The Feeder Funds,
International Small Company Portfolio, and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio's
investments reflect proportionate interest in the net assets of their
corresponding Master Fund. These valuations are classified as Level 1 in the
hierarchy.
A summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios' investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in the Security
Valuation note. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the
Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments. The inputs or
methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The Portfolios had no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during
the year ended October 31, 2012.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and the International Equity
Portfolios whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are
translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recently quoted bid
and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to
U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates.
Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked to market
daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or losses are realized
upon ultimate receipt or disbursement. Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio
and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio also enter 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 International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of fluctuation
in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices
of securities whether realized or unrealized. However, Enhanced U.S. Large
Company Portfolio does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency
rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of
foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income
tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss
for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios and Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and
the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible "Director/Trustee" of the Fund
may elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such
Directors/Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees
earned as a Director/Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though
such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap
Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio;
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value
Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio;
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income
Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors'/Trustees'
Fees & Expenses.
Each Director/Trustee has the option to receive their 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 Director/Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election
(the "Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's/Trustee's deferred
compensation until a date specified by such Director/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member
of the Board; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the
Director's/Trustee's first
139
deferral election. If a Director/Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to
designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the
Director's/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board (unless
the Director/Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different distribution
date). As of October 31, 2012, none of the Directors/Trustees have requested or
received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities/affiliated investment companies are on the basis of identified cost.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities and from the investment
in affiliated investment companies that represent a return of capital or
capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios estimate the character of
distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt
securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities
utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a
Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or Portfolios are
allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net
assets.
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.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, International Small Company Portfolio,
Japanese Small Company Portfolio, Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio, United
Kingdom Small Company Portfolio, Continental Small Company Portfolio, Emerging
Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio, Emerging Markets Value
Portfolio, and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio each recognize their pro-rata
share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a
daily basis, from their respective Master Funds, which are treated as
partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they
invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in
such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated
and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolios
accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or
throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for
the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned
by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country's
balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary
restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio, Emerging
Markets Value Portfolio and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio are subject
to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for
investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities.
The taxes for the capital gains are recognized when the capital gains are
earned.
C. Investment Advisor and Administrator:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment advisory
services to all Portfolios. The Advisor receives no additional compensation for
the investment advisory services it provides to the Feeder Funds. The Advisor
provides administrative services to the Feeder Funds, including supervision of
services provided by others, providing information to shareholders and the
Board, and other administrative services.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Portfolios' investment advisory
services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the
following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

Portfolio and DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio from 0.30% to
0.17%, and 0.35% to 0.27%, respectively effective February 28, 2012.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Feeder Funds' and the Enhanced U.S.
Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value
Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio's
administrative services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor

2009, Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio,
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio no longer invest
substantially all of their assets in their respective Series. Instead, the
Portfolios' assets are managed directly in accordance with the Portfolios'
investment objectives and strategies, pursuant to an investment management
agreement between the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, and Dimensional,
which previously was the manager of the Series' assets. The investment
advisory fee paid by the Portfolios are identical to the advisory fee that
was charged to the Series.

assume each Portfolio's other direct expenses to the extent necessary to
limit the direct expenses of each Portfolio to the rates listed above as a

all or a portion of its advisory fee to the extent necessary to limit the
total advisory fees paid by the Portfolio to the Advisor directly and
indirectly (the proportionate share of the advisory fees paid by the
Portfolio through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor) to

time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the
Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to seek
reimbursement for the amount of any Remaining Management Fees previously
waived to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the Portfolio's
annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Portfolio's Expense Limitation

fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a

right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to

F. Federal Income Taxes:
Each Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net
investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the
period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent
differences as of October 31, 2012, primarily attributable to realized gains on
securities considered to be "passive foreign investment companies",
non-deductible expenses, net foreign currency gains/losses, the utilization of
accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of
shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes,
distributions received from real estate investment trusts, expiration of
capital loss carryovers and distribution redesignations, were reclassified to
the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or
net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital
losses incurred by these Portfolios after October 31, 2011 will not be subject
to expiration and will retain their character as either short-term or long-term
capital losses. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses
incurred in the years preceding enactment. As of October 31, 2012, the
following Portfolios had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolio's
tax postions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in any Portfolio's financial statements. No Portfolio is 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 Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years
remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On October 22, 2008, The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The U.S. Small Cap Value
Series and on October 25, 2008 The U.S. Small Cap Series, each a master fund in
a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, each with a RIC feeder (the U.S. Micro Cap
Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio and U.S. Small Cap Portfolio,
respectively) (the "Portfolios"), having 100% investment in their respective
master fund, made a "Check-the-box" election for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S) 301.7701-3, to change their federal entity
classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to
a disregarded entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, each
master fund is deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and
liabilities to its owners, the respective Portfolios (the RIC feeders), with
the respective Portfolios deemed the surviving entities. The final tax year end
of the master funds was October 21, 2008 for The U.S. Micro Cap Series and The
U.S. Small Cap Value Series and October 24, 2008 for The U.S. Small Cap Series.
For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC")
(S)337(a), each of the master funds recognized no gain or loss and, pursuant to
IRC (S)332(a), each of the Portfolios recognized no gain or loss on the deemed
liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC (S)332 (c), each of the aforementioned
Portfolios recognized the master fund's deemed dividend, which was distributed
as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income. Pursuant to
IRC (S)334(b)(1) and (S)1223, each of the Portfolios maintained each respective
master fund's holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed transferred to
the respective Portfolio.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund
in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct
client investor(s), made a "Check-the-box" election for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal
entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment
company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is
deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable
transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately
thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and
liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S.
Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes,
pursuant to IRC (S)336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master
fund's investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC
(S)331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its
investment in the master fund. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)334(a),
each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed
received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the
deemed liquidation date. As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap
Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended
December 30, 2008.
On November 1, 2008, The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Series, a master fund
in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with the Enhanced U.S. Large Company
Portfolio having 100% investment in the respective master fund, made a
"Check-the-box" election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury
Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change the Series' federal entity classification
from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to a disregarded
entity. As a result of this election for tax purposes, the master fund is
deemed to have liquidated and distributed all of its assets and liabilities to
its owner, the Portfolio, with the Portfolio deemed the surviving entity. The
final tax year end of the master fund was October 31, 2008. For Federal income
tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)337(a), the master fund did not recognize any
gain or loss and, pursuant to IRC (S)332(a), the Portfolio did not recognize
any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation. However, pursuant to IRC (S)332(c),
the Portfolio recognized the master fund's deemed dividend, which was
distributed as part of the deemed liquidating distribution, as taxable income.
Pursuant to IRC (S)334(b)(1) and (S)1223, the Portfolio maintained its
respective master fund's holding period and tax basis in the assets deemed
transferred to the Portfolio.
Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund ("DEM
II"), a master fund in a master-feeder structure with one RIC feeder (Emerging
Markets Value Portfolio) and other direct client investors, made a
"Check-the-Box" election for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury
Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal entity
153
classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to
a partnership. DEM II will maintain its books and records and present its
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for investment partnerships. As a result of this election, the
master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities on
October 31, 2009 to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Since
the master fund had a shareholder owning 80% or more of the fund's shares, and
also had shareholders owning less than 80%, the transaction created a
non-taxable transaction, pursuant to IRC (S)332, for those owning more than
80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to IRC (S)331, for those shareholders
owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the
shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a
newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of the master fund was
October 31, 2009.
For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)336(a), the master fund
recognized gain or loss relative to the investment of the less than 80%
shareholders as if the master fund's investment securities were sold to those
shareholders and, pursuant to IRC (S)331, each of those shareholders recognized
gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master. Pursuant to
IRC (S)334(a), each of these shareholders took a fair market value basis in
the securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those
securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date. In regards to the
shareholder owning 80% or more of the master fund, pursuant to IRC (S)332(a),
the shareholder did not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation.
However, pursuant to IRC (S)332(c), a portion of the deemed distribution, which
otherwise would have been tax-free as discussed above, since it was utilized by
the master fund to satisfy its dividends paid deduction for the tax year, had
to be recognized and treated as a dividend by the 80% or greater shareholder.
Pursuant to IRC (S)334(b)(1) and (S)1223, the 80% or greater shareholder's
basis and holding period in the securities received in liquidation is the same
as it was in the possession of the master fund. As a result of the transaction,
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund recognized a $104,402,506 and ($16,523)
capital gain and currency loss respectively, for the tax year ended
October 31, 2009.

On October 29, 2010, the Board of Directors/Trustees adopted a Plan of
Recapitalization of U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio's Class R1 and Class R2
Shares. On November 19, 2010, a reverse stock split was executed whereby each
shareholder of Class R1 Shares received one share for every 1.469 shares held
and each shareholder of Class R2 Shares received one share for every 1.394
shares held. The purpose of the reverse split was to reduce the number of Class
R1 Shares and Class R2 Shares, thereby increasing the net asset value of each
Class R1 Share and Class R2 Share outstanding in order to more closely align
the net asset values with the net asset value
155
of U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio's Institutional Class Shares. The per share
data in the financial highlights, capital share activity in the statements of
changes in net assets and the outstanding shares and net asset value as of
October 31, 2010 in the statement of assets and liabilities have been adjusted
retroactively to reflect the reverse stock splits for the respective Class R1
Shares and Class R2 Shares.
The Board of Directors of the Fund authorized the conversion of the Class R2
Shares of Emerging Markets Value Portfolio to the Class R2A Shares. The Class
R2 Shares of Emerging Markets Value Portfolio ceased to be offered and
available for purchase upon the close of business on December 3, 2010.
Following the conversion, shareholders and investors purchased and redeemed
Class R2A Shares of the Portfolio. The value of a shareholder's investment in
the Portfolio was not impacted by the conversion, however, a shareholder
received fewer Class R2A Shares than the number of Class R2 Shares held at the
time of the conversion because the Class R2A Shares had a higher net asset
value per share. Effective February 28, 2011, Class R2A Shares were renamed to
Class R2 Shares.
The per share data in the financial highlights prior to the year ended
October 31, 2011 have been retroactively restated to reflect the conversion.
Additionally, the capital share activity in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets and capital share activity earlier in this note shows the reduction of
shares as a result of the conversion.
H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Portfolios' investment objectives and policies, the
Portfolios may invest, either directly or indirectly through their investment
in a corresponding Master Fund, in certain financial instruments that have
off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial
statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and
their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios may purchase certain U.S.
Government securities subject to the counterparty's agreement to repurchase
them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a
daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at
not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements
are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve
book-entry system with the Portfolio's custodian or a third party
sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
2. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in U.S.
companies, including the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation
of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid
and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of
America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities
held by the Portfolios may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
3. Forward Currency Contracts: Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and
Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may enter into 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 a Portfolio's currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be
based primarily on the Portfolio's existing exposure to a given foreign
currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by
the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the
Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation from translation of foreign currency denominated amounts. When the
contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records
a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when
it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is
presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on
foreign currency transactions. At October 31, 2012, Enhanced U.S. Large Company
Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio had entered into the
following contracts and the net unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) is
reflected in the accompanying financial statements (amounts in thousands):

* During the year ended October 31, 2012, Enhanced U.S. Large Company
Portfolio's and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio's average cost
basis contract amount of forward currency contracts was $(45,176) and
$(4,956) (in thousands), respectively.
** Positive Currency Amount represents a purchase contract and a Currency
Amount in parentheses represents a sales contract.
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.
4. Futures Contracts: Certain Portfolios may enter into futures contracts to
gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Additionally, Enhanced U.S. Large
Company Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio uses stock
index futures to hedge against changes in equity securities' prices and to gain
exposure to the S&P 500 Index(R) and S&P 500 Index(R) Emini, respectively, in
the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Upon entering into a
futures contract, the Portfolios deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government
securities to a broker, equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of
the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received
from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the
market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as
"variation margin" and are recorded daily by the 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
157
Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities or indices, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for
these instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolios could lose more
than the initial margin requirements. The Portfolios entering into stock index
futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts.
Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because
the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures,
guarantees the futures against default.
At October 31, 2012, the following Portfolios had outstanding futures
contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

I. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22,
2011 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed to by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is
individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the
line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of
credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by
either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on July 6,
2013. There were no borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of credit
during the year ended October 31, 2012.
159
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 13, 2012 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of
$500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not
exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 line of credit
expires on January 11, 2013. The Fund expects to enter into a new line of
credit with substantially the same terms as its existing line of credit prior
to its expiration.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, borrowings by the Portfolios under this
line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and

during the year ended October 31, 2012 that each Portfolio's available line
of credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of
credit as of October 31, 2012.
J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2012, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each Portfolio received cash collateral. In
addition, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio received non-cash collateral
consisting of short and/or long term U.S. Treasury securities with a market
value of $189,066 (in thousands). Each Portfolio invests the cash collateral,
as described below, and records a liability for the return of the collateral,
during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected
at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least (i) 100% of the
current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the
U.S. government or its agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the
current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign
securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Portfolios'
collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to
occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure
adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other
party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower
160
is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided such
collateral insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending
agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the
option of the lending agent, to replace the securities.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each 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. Each Portfolio also may invest the cash collateral received for the
loaned securities in securities of the U.S. government or its agencies,
repuchase agreements collateralized by securities of the U.S. government or its
agencies, and affiliated and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money
market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency
debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, each Portfolio
will be able to terminate the loan at any time and will receive reasonable
interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or
other distributions on the loaned securities. However, dividend income received
from loaned securities may not be eligible to be taxed at qualified dividend
income rates.
K. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R1 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.10%
and Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.25% of
their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide
shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services
to investors in U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1 and Class R2 Shares and
Emerging Markets Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.
L. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
M. In-Kind Redemptions:
In accordance with guidelines described in the Portfolios' prospectus, the
Portfolios may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for
a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting
purposes, a Portfolio recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent
the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the
cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are
not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed
realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio realized
net gains of in-kind redemptions in the amount of $126,527 (amount in
thousands).
N. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" requiring disclosure of both gross and net information related to
offsetting and related arrangements enabling users of its financial statements
to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial
position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and those entities that prepare their
financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting
Standards. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU
No. 2011-11 may have on the financial statements.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
On November 1, 2010 a class action complaint was filed in Bankruptcy Court
in the bankruptcy case of The Tribune Company ("Tribune"). The defendants in
this action include mutual funds, individuals, institutional investors and
others who owned shares in Tribune at the time of the 2007 leveraged buyout
transaction (the "LBO") and sold
162
their shares for $34 per share in cash, such as The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series. Thereafter, two additional and substantially similar class actions were
filed and are pending in United States District Courts (with the Bankruptcy
Court action, collectively referred to as the "Lawsuits"). The Lawsuits have
been consolidated into a single Multidistrict Litigation action in federal
court for pretrial proceedings. The Lawsuits seek to recover, for the benefit
of Tribune's bankruptcy estate or various creditors, payments to shareholders
in the LBO. The Lawsuits allege that Tribune's payment for those shares
violated the rights of creditors, as set forth in the Bankruptcy Code's and
various states' fraudulent transfer laws. However, the Lawsuits proceed on
different legal theories: the Bankruptcy Court action pleads an intentionally
fraudulent transfer; the District Court actions plead constructively fraudulent
transfers.
Litigation counsel to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series in the Lawsuits does
not believe that it is possible, at this early stage in the proceedings, to
predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or
quantify the ultimate exposure to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series arising from
the Lawsuits. Until The U.S. Large Cap Value Series can do so, no reduction of
the net asset value of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series will be made relating to
the Lawsuits. However, even if the plaintiffs in the Lawsuits were to obtain
the full recovery they seek, the amount would be less than 1% of The U.S. Large
Cap Value Series' net asset value at this time.
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series also cannot predict what its size might be
at the time the cost of the Lawsuits might be quantifiable and thus potentially
deducted from its net asset value. Therefore, at this time, those buying or
redeeming shares of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series will pay or receive, as the
case may be, a price based on net asset value of The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys' fees and
costs relating to the Lawsuits will be taken as expenses by The U.S. Large Cap
Value Series as incurred and in a manner similar to any other expense incurred
by The U.S. Large Cap Value Series.
P. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers, and the transfer agents of the
investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Commodity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
During the fiscal year ending, October 31, 2012, commodities produced mixed
results. The commodity market was initially driven lower through the first
seven months of the period by declining natural gas prices. A combination of a
mild winter and increased supply from improved shale drilling technology led to
natural gas spot prices in the summer of 2012 that were less than half of the
prior summer and at levels not seen in over a decade. The last four months of
the period would provide for a recovery in the commodity market driven by a
significant drought in the U.S. which reduced supply and increased prices for
soybeans, corn, and wheat.
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio
The DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio seeks total return consisting of
capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio generally invests in a
universe of allowable commodity-linked derivative instruments and fixed income
investments. The Portfolio gains exposure to commodities markets by investing
in derivative instruments, swap agreements, and other commodity-linked
instruments. The Portfolio pursues commodity exposure based on sector weights
of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return (DJ-UBSCI). In pursuing the
fixed income portion of the Portfolio's investment strategy, Dimensional Fund
Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") identifies a broadly-diversified
universe of eligible U.S. and foreign fixed income securities with precisely
defined maturity ranges and credit quality characteristics then seeks to
purchase a broad and diverse portfolio of securities meeting these credit
quality standards. In making these purchase decisions, if the anticipated
maturity risk premium is greater for longer-term securities in the eligible
maturity range, Dimensional will focus investment in that longer-term area;
otherwise, the Portfolio will focus investment in the short-term range of the
eligible maturity range.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, the total return was -3.08% for
the Portfolio and -4.44% for the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return.
The Portfolio's outperformance was due to the excess return generated by the
fixed income assets.
The Portfolio gained exposure to commodities primarily through the use of
commodity swap contracts. To a lesser extent, the Portfolio gained exposure to
commodities through the use of commodity futures. The Portfolio's commodity
swaps provided exposure to the twenty commodities found in the Dow Jones-UBS
Commodity Index Total Return whose returns for the period ranged from -41.7%
(natural gas) to +33.7% (soybean). In the fiscal year, no excess return was
provided by the strategy's approach of "rolling" its underlying futures
contracts prior to the index roll.
While the Portfolio has derivative exposure to commodities, the majority of
the assets were invested in fixed income securities. The fixed income component
duration increased slightly from 1.67 to 1.85 years during the period. The
Portfolio benefited from the exposure to longer duration relative to its
short-term obligations on its derivatives. It also benefited from its credit
exposure during a period where credit spreads narrowed. The time of valuation
of currency can create differences between the performance of the Portfolio and
the Index.

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

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
CONSOLIDATED 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, without a sales charge, to institutional
investors, retirement plans and clients of registered investment advisors. The
Fund consists of sixty-seven 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 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
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets
from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates and those differences could be material.
1. Security Valuation: The Portfolio 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 (including equity securities, open-end investment companies,
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 which are traded over-the-counter and on a stock
exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most
representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income
securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for
which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities),
or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith
at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of
Directors/Trustees. These valuations are classified as Level 2 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
contracts generally are valued at a price at which the counterparties to such
contracts would repurchase the instrument or terminate the contracts. These
valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
A summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios' investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in the Security
Valuation note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the
179
end of the Schedule of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
The Portfolio had no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during
the year ended October 31, 2012.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director/Trustee of the Fund
may elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such
Directors/Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees
earned as a Director/Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though
such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap
Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio;
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value
Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio;
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income
Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors'/Trustees'
Fees & Expenses.
Each Director/Trustee has the option to receive their 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 Director/Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election
(the "Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's/Trustee's deferred
compensation until a date specified by such Director/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member
of the Board and (ii) five years following the effective date of the
Director's/Trustee's first deferral election. If a Director/Trustee who elects
to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of which
payment of the Director's/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member of the
Board (unless the Director/Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a
different distribution date). As of October 31, 2012, none of the
Directors/Trustees have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a
deferred fee account.
3. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of
distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on debt
securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities
utilizing the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a
Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using
methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
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 Porfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the
Subsidiary's investments. The derivatives and
180
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.
As of October 31, 2012, the Portfolio held $75,170,235 in the Subsidiary,
representing 16.33% of the Portfolio's total assets. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses of the Portfolio and its wholly-owned Subsidiary. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary.
Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
D. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the investment
advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based
on an effective annual rate of 0.30% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets.
Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fee and to
assume the expenses of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the
ordinary operating expenses of the Portfolio (not including expenses incurred
through an investment in unaffiliated investment companies and excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") so that such Portfolio Expenses
do not exceed 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 seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived
and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the amount of such
reimbursement will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio
to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount. The Portfolio is not obligated to
reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed
by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of such
reimbursement. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect
through February 28, 2013, and may not be terminated by the Advisor prior to
that date. At October 31, 2012, there were no previously waived fees subjected
to future recovery by the Advisor.
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, 2012, approximately $172 (in thousands) of
the Subsidiary management fees was waived pursuant to the Subsidiary fee waiver
agreement.
Earned Income Credit:
In addition, the Portfolio has entered into arrangements 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.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses reduced were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
Fees Paid
Indirectly
----------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $9
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $234 (in thousands). The total
related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the
Statement of Operations.
181
E. Deferred Compensation:
At October 31, 2012, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $1
F. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Portfolio made the following
purchases and sales of investments securities, other than short-term securities
(amounts in thousands):
U.S. Government Other Investment
Securities Securities
----------------- ------------------
Purchases Sales Purchases Sales
--------- ------- --------- --------
$80,319 $63,085 $372,169 $154,366
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 these amounts determined under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net
investment income or accumulated net realized gains, as appropriate, in the
period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent
differences as of October 31, 2012, primarily attributable to adjustments
between financial and tax reporting related to the Subsidiary, the utilization
of accumulated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions
of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for tax purposes and net
foreign currency gains/losses, were reclassified to the following accounts.
These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per
share (amounts in thousands):

At October 31, 2012, the following net investment income and short-term

-------------- ------------- ------------ -------------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $864 $422 -- $1,286
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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital
losses incurred by the Portfolio after October 31, 2011 will not be subject to
expiration and will retain its character as either short-term or long-term
capital losses. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses
incurred in the years preceding enactment. As of October 31, 2012, the
Portfolio did not have any capital loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2012, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes
were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts
in thousands):
Net
Unrealized
Federal Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Tax Cost Appreciation (Depreciation) (Depreciation)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $442,131 $2,762 $(55) $2,707
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio's
tax position 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.
H. 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:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in U.S.
companies, including the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and regulation
of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid
and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States of
America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international securities
held by the Portfolio may be inhibited.
183
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 Dimensional Cayman
Commodity Fund I, LTD., 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
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio and its wholly-owned Subsidiary.
2. Forward Currency Contracts: DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio may enter
into 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 a Portfolio's currency exposure with respect to a
foreign market will be based primarily on the Portfolio's existing exposure to
a given foreign currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value
is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented
in the Statements of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation of translation of foreign currency denominated amounts. When the
contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Portfolio records
a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when
it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset. This is
presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on
foreign currency transactions.
At October 31, 2012, DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio had entered into the
following contracts and the net unrealized foreign exchange gain/(loss) is
reflected in the accompanying financial statements (amounts in thousands):

* During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Portfolio's average cost basis
contract amount of forward currency contracts was $(44,772) (in thousands).
** Positive Currency Amount represents a purchase contract and a Currency
Amount in parentheses represents a sale contract.
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. Commodity-Linked Derivatives: The DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio and
the Subsidiary invests 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, 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
184
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.
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. An investment in a commodity swap agreement, for example, 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 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.
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.
Because they are two party contracts and because they may have terms of
greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. The
Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a
swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement
counterparty beyond any collateral received. The types of swap agreements in
which the Portfolio invests do not involve the delivery of securities, other
underlying assets, or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss is limited to
the net amount of interest payments that the Portfolio is contractually
obligated to make.
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 Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("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.
The Portfolio is required to segregate with its futures commission merchant
an amount of cash or securities acceptable to the broker equal to approximately
1% to 10% of the contract amount. This amount is known as "initial margin" and
is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract
which is returned to the Portfolio upon termination of the futures contract,
assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments,
known as "variation margin," to and from the broker, will be made daily as the
currency, financial instrument
185
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.
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 and 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
would be 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.

I. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22,
2011 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed to by the parties at the time of borrowing. Each portfolio is
individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the
line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of
credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by
either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on July 6,
2013. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of credit
during the year ended October 31, 2012.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 13, 2012 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of
$500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not
exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 line of credit
expires on January 11, 2013. The Fund expects to enter into a new line of
credit with substantially the same terms as its existing line of credit prior
to its expiration. There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under this line of
credit during the year ended October 31, 2012.
J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" requiring disclosure of both gross and net information
189
related to offsetting and related arrangements enabling users of its financial
statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's
financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate
comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on
the basis of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and those entities
that prepare their financial statements on the basis of International Financial
Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any
impact ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the financial statements.
L. Other:
At October 31, 2012, three shareholders held 87% 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.
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise
from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The
Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all
shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when the Tribune
Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the
return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently
believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will
not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of
operations, or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent
uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.
M. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolio and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio and
Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and
liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and
the consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio and its subsidiary
(one of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc.,
hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") at October 31, 2012, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the
financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The one-year period ending October 31, 2012, was characterized by generally
positive monthly returns with a sharp decline in the month of May. The MSCI
World ex USA Index (net dividends) dropped by -11.4% in the month of May due to
the deepening European debt crisis and concern over a potential Greece exit
from the euro. In response to the crisis, European leaders met and planned out
additional measures to stabilize the markets which positively impacted market
returns in the following months. As measured by the MSCI indices below for
developed markets outside the U.S., value stocks generally outperformed their
growth counterparts, while small cap stocks outperformed large caps.

Master-Feeder Structure
The Portfolio described below, called a "Feeder Fund," does not buy
individual securities directly; instead, the Portfolio invests in a
corresponding fund called a "Master Fund." The Master Fund, in turn, purchases
stocks and/or other securities.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
DFA International Value Portfolio
The DFA International Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
international large company value stocks by purchasing shares of The DFA
International Value Series, a Master Fund that invests in such stocks. Value is
measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap
value stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Master Fund held approximately 530 securities in 23
developed countries. In general, the Master Fund was mostly invested in
equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2012, total returns were 2.70% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 2.98% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and 4.40% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master
Fund focuses on international large-cap value stocks, as measured by
book-to-market, while the Index is neutral with regard to value or growth.
International large-cap value stocks, as measured by high book-to-market
ratios, generally underperformed during the period. The Master Fund had
significantly greater exposure than the Index to value stocks, which
contributed to relative underperformance. In particular, large-cap value stocks
in
194
Japan significantly underperformed. As the Master Fund has significantly more
weight in these securities than the Index, these holdings detracted from
relative performance. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Master Fund and the Index contributed to relative performance. The
Master Fund prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets
while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund also may use
fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the
U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
U.S. Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The year ending October 31, 2012 saw reduced volatility for U.S. equities
with positive returns in three out of four quarters for the widely used
benchmarks. The year began in the wake of MF Global's bankruptcy filing brought
on by losses on European sovereign debt. Many headlines for the rest of the
year also originated from Europe, from the Greek debt swap to the LIBOR scandal
that reached a crescendo in July.
Broad market returns were mostly positive for the first five months through
March 2012, but negative returns following the Facebook IPO and JP Morgan's
reported $2 billion trading loss made May the worst month of the year. The last
trading day of the year followed two days of market closures in the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy. Through all this, U.S. markets rose in 8 out of the 12
months in the period.
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") believes that
among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of
diversified equity portfolios are the market capitalization and value/ growth
characteristics of the portfolios' holdings. Value characteristics are a
function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics
such as earnings, dividends, and book value.
The size premium was negative during the year with small cap stocks
underperforming large cap stocks. Micro cap stocks were the strongest
performers as measured by the indices below.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 3000(R) Index........................ 14.75%
Russell Microcap(R) Index (micro cap stocks). 16.49%

Russell 1000(R) Index (large cap stocks)..... 14.97%
Dow Jones US Select REIT Index............... 14.09%
The value premium was positive across both large cap and small cap stocks.

For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2012 were attributable primarily to differences in
value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of REIT
securities from most Dimensional portfolios and the exclusion of securities of
highly regulated utilities from most value strategies. For many portfolios, the
construction approach used by Dimensional generally resulted in portfolios with
greater weight in value or small-cap and micro-cap companies relative to widely
used benchmarks.

Domestic Equity Portfolio Performance Overview
U.S. Large Company Portfolio
The U.S. Large Company Portfolio seeks to approximate the returns of the S&P
500(R) Index by investing in S&P 500(R) Index securities in approximately the
same proportions as they are represented in the Index. In addition to
individual stocks, the Portfolio uses futures to gain market exposure for
uninvested cash. The Portfolio was mostly invested in equities or equivalents
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, the total return was 15.02% for
the Portfolio and 15.21% for the S&P 500(R) Index. The Portfolio's return is
net of fees and expenses. The impact of fees and expenses was primarily
responsible for the performance difference.

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

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen
portfolios, two of which, DFA International Value Portfolio and U.S. Large
Company Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), are presented in this section of the
report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports.
DFA International Value Portfolio (the "Feeder Fund") primarily invests its
assets in The DFA International Value Series (the "Series"), a corresponding
Series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At October 31, 2012, DFA
International Value Portfolio owned 76% of the Series. The financial statements
of the Series are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Portfolio.
Class R2 shares of DFA International Value Portfolio commenced operations on
April 30, 2008.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a
RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of its respective
Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of an
association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury
Regulation (S) 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive
reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the fund is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book
purposes. The Series/Portfolio will maintain its books and records and present
its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for investment partnerships.
On March 1, 2010, the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group
Inc. and of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. approved an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") which provided that (i) U.S. Large Company
Institutional Index Portfolio (the "Acquiring Fund"), a portfolio of
Dimensional Investment Group Inc. would acquire substantially all of the assets
of U.S. Large Company Portfolio (the "Target Fund"), a portfolio of DFA
Investment Dimensions Group Inc. in exchange solely for shares of capital stock
of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) the shares of the Acquiring Fund would be
distributed to the shareholders of the Target Fund according to their
respective interests in the Target Fund; and (iii) the Target Fund would be
liquidated and dissolved (the "Reorganization"). In conjunction with completing
the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund would change its name to "U.S. Large
Company Portfolio." The Reorganization took place on May 7, 2010 and the
Acquiring Fund changed its name to U.S. Large Company Portfolio effective
May 8, 2010.
The purpose of the transaction was to lower fees for the shareholders of the
Target Fund and create operating efficiencies from economies of scale.
The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following
shares on May 7, 2010:
Target Value (in
Fund Shares Acquiring Fund Shares thousands)
------ ---------- ----------------------------- ----------- ----------
U.S.Large U.S. Large Company
Company Portfolio 83,482,168 Institutional Index Portfolio 311,973,980 $2,731,987
209
The net assets, including net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the
Target Fund, immediately before the acquisition were as follows (in thousands):

Target Appreciation
Fund Net Assets (Depreciation) Acquiring Fund Net Assets
------ ---------- -------------- ----------------------------- ----------
U.S. Large U.S. Large Company
Company Portfolio $2,731,987 $315,984 Institutional Index Portfolio $870,696
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, U.S. Large
Company Portfolio's result of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010
would have been as follows (in thousands):
Net Investement Income................................. $ 71,681(a)
Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments. 501,073(b)
--------
Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations... $572,754
========
(a)$43,125 as reported in the Statement of Operations, plus $27,799 Net
Investment Income from U.S. Large Company Portfolio pre-merger, plus $757 of
pro-forma eliminated expenses.
(b)$596,596 as reported in the Statement of Operations, less $95,523 Net
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments from U.S. Large Company
Portfolio pre-merger.
Because both U.S. Large Company Portfolio and U.S. Large Company
Institutional Index Portfolio sold and redeemed shares throughout the period,
it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Prior to September 10, 2010, U.S. Large Company Portfolio invested
substantially all of its assets in shares of The U.S. Large Company Series. At
the close of business on September 9, 2010, U.S. Large Company Portfolio
received its pro-rata share of cash and securities from The U.S. Large Company
Series in a complete liquidation of its interest in the Series. Effective
September 10, 2010, U.S. Large Company Portfolio invests directly in securities
rather than through the Series and maintains the same investment objective.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") on
September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of
the Portfolios from November 30 to October 31.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, 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 Portfolios utilize a fair value heirarchy 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,
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)
DFA International Value Portfolio's investment reflects its proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Series. These valuations are classified as
Level 1 in the hierarchy.
210
Securities held by U.S. Large Company Portfolio, including over-the-counter
securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of the
exchanges on which they are principally traded (official closing price).
Securities held by U.S. Large Company 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, U.S. Large Company Portfolio values
the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices which
approximate fair value. Price information on listed securities is taken from
the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities
issued by open-end investment companies are valued using their respective net
asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders
placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). 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/Trustees. Fair value pricing may also be used if events
that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in
the discretion of the Investment Committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP)
occur before the net asset value 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 in the
hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by U.S. Large Company 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.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios' investments by each
major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in the
Security Valuation note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the
end of the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology
used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk
associated with investing in those securities.
The Portfolios had no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during
the year ended October 31, 2012.
2. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director/Trustee of the Fund
may elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such
Directors/Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees
earned as a Director/Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though
such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap
Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio;
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value
Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio;
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income
Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors'/Trustees'
Fees & Expenses.
Each Director/Trustee has the option to receive their 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 Director/Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election
(the "Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's/Trustee's deferred
compensation until a date specified by such Director/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member
of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of
the Director's/Trustee's first deferral election. If a Director/Trustee who
elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of
which payment of the Director's/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member of the
Board of the Fund (unless the Director/Trustee files an amended Notice
selecting a different distribution date). As of October 31, 2012, none of the
Directors/Trustees have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a
deferred fee account.
3. Other: The Feeder Fund recognizes its pro-rata share, on a daily basis,
of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses of
investment securities from the Series, which is treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that
represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction
211
of cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Feeder Fund
estimates the character of distributions received that may be considered return
of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Feeder Fund are
directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund are allocated using methods
approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average net
assets.
Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets
and earnings of the Feeder Fund. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses
of the Feeder Fund are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative
net assets. Each class will bear its own class-specific expenses, if any.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides administrative services
to the Portfolios, including supervision of services provided by others,
providing information to the shareholders and to the Board of
Directors/Trustees, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides
investment advisory services to the Portfolios and the Series. The Advisor
receives no additional compensation for the investment advisory services it
provides to the Feeder Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the
Portfolios' administrative services 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. 0.20%
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 0.05%
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio's
investment advisory fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor
based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. 0.025%
Pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to waive certain fees, including administration/advisory
fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as
described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement
for the Portfolios below will remain in effect through February 28, 2013, and
shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the
Fund or the Advisor. For the year ended October 31, 2012, 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 expenses assumed
as listed below (amounts in thousands). The Portfolios are not obligated to
reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed
by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.
Previously

Amount Expenses Assumed Recovery
---------- ---------------- -----------------
DFA International Value Portfolio -- Class R2 Shares (1) .. 0.79% -- --
U.S. Large Company Portfolio (2)........................... 0.10% -- $423
(1)The Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the Portfolio's direct
expenses (excluding management fees and custodian fees and excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees) to the extent necessary to limit the annualized
expenses (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
investment in other investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") of the
Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of
average net assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation
Amount listed above for the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to
recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the
extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio's Class R2 shares'
annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as
listed above.
(2)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
administration fee to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating
expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment
companies and excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses"),
so that such Portfolio Expenses do not exceed
212
the rate listed above as a percentage of 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 listed
above for the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees
previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such
recovery will not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed
the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $31 (in thousands). The total
related amounts paid by each Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the
Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
At October 31, 2012, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follow (amounts in thousands):
DFA International Value Portfolio............ $145
U.S. Large Company Portfolio................. 214
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2012, U.S. Large Company Portfolio made the
following purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term
securities and U.S. government securities (amounts in thousands):
Purchases.................................... $154,633
Sales........................................ 297,580
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
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 from net realized capital gains
are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net
investment income, accumulated net realized gains or unrealized appreciation,
as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the
following permanent differences as of October 31, 2012, primarily attributable
to net foreign currency gains/losses and realized gains on securities
considered to be "passive foreign investment companies", were reclassified to
the following accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or
net asset value per share (amounts in thousands):

U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 12,462 -- (347,015) (334,553)
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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital
losses incurred by these Portfolios after October 31, 2011 will not be subject
to expiration and will retain their character as either short-term or long-term
capital losses. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses
incurred in the years preceding enactment. As of October 31, 2012, the
following Portfolios had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future
realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts in
thousands):

During the year ended October 31, 2012, the following Portfolios utilized
capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income
tax purposes (amounts in thousands):
DFA International Value Portfolio. $74,144
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 69,018
At October 31, 2012, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes
were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts
in thousands):
Net

Federal Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Tax Cost Appreciation (Depreciation) (Depreciation)

DFA International Value Portfolio. $5,229,166 $ 826,481 $(567,216) $ 259,265
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 3,292,622 1,732,778 (430,125) 1,302,653
The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales and investments in passive foreign investment companies.
214
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolios'
tax postions 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 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a
RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client
investor(s), made a "Check-the-box" election for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal entity
classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to
a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have
distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its
shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the
shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a
newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value
Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") (S)336(a), the master fund recognized gain or
loss as if the master fund's investment securities were sold to its
shareholders and, pursuant to IRC (S)331, each of the Portfolios recognized
gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master fund. As a result
of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a
($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax
year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)334(a), each
of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed
received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the
deemed liquidation date.

On October 29, 2010, the Board of Directors/Trustees adopted a Plan of
Recapitalization of DFA International Value Portfolio's Class R2 Shares. On
November 19, 2010, a reverse stock split was executed whereby each shareholder
of Class R2 Shares received one share for every 2.631 shares held. The purpose
of the reverse split was to reduce the number of Class R2 Shares, thereby
increasing the net asset value of each Class R2 Share outstanding in order to
more closely align the net asset value with the net asset value of DFA
International Value Portfolio's Institutional Class Shares. The per share data
in the financial highlights, capital share activity in the
215
statements of changes in net assets and the outstanding shares and net asset
value as of October 31, 2010 in the statement of assets and liabilities have
been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock splits for the
respective Class R2 Shares.
H. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with U.S. Large Company Portfolio's investment objective and
policies, U.S. Large Company 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. Repurchase Agreements: U.S. Large Company Portfolio may purchase certain
U.S. Government securities subject to the counterparty's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be
required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to
the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued
interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited
under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with U.S. Large Company Portfolio's
custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
2. Futures Contracts: U.S. Large Company Portfolio may enter into futures
contracts to gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in
securities or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a
futures contract, U.S. Large Company Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S.
Government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum "initial margin"
requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent
payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily
fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are
known as "variation margin" and are recorded daily by U.S. Large Company
Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When
the contracts are closed, U.S. Large Company Portfolio records a realized gain
or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized
gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these
instruments and from the possibility that U.S. Large Company Portfolio could
lose more than the initial margin requirements. Portfolios entering into stock
index futures are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts.
Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because
the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures,
guarantees the futures against default.
At October 31, 2012, U.S. Large Company Portfolio had outstanding futues

I. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22,
2011 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowings. Each portfolio is
individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the
line of credit. There is no commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of
credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by
either party at any time. The line of credit is scheduled to expire on July 6,
2013. There were no borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of credit
during the year ended October 31, 2012.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 13, 2012 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of
$500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not
exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 of the line of credit expires on January 11, 2013. The
Fund expects to enter into a new line of credit with substantially the same
terms as its existing line of credit prior to expiration.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, borrowings by the Portfolios under this
line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentage and
days):
Weighted Weighted Number of Interest Maximum Amount
Average Average Days Expense Borrowed During
Interest Rate Loan Balance Outstanding* Incurred the Period
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. 0.86% $24,056 7 $4 $31,556
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2012 that the Portfolio's available line of
credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Portfolios under this line of
credit as of October 31, 2012.
J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2012, U.S. Large Company Portfolio had securities on loan
to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio receives cash collateral. The
Portfolio invests its cash collateral, as described below, and records a
liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities
are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by
collateral equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of the loaned
securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies,
(ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to
U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the current market value of the loaned
securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market
fluctuations could cause the 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, and cash collateral being
maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned
securities and provided such collateral insufficiency is not the result of
investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the
shortfall to the Portfolio or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace
the securities.
Subject to its stated investment policies, the Portfolio will generally
invest its 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. 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 and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money
market funds. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency
debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend
income rates.
K. Shareholder Servicing Fees:
The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in the amount of 0.25%
of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide
shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services
to investors in the DFA International Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.
L. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
218
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
M. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" requiring disclosure of both gross and net information related to
offsetting and related arrangements enabling users of its financial statements
to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial
position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and those entities that prepare their
financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting
Standards. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU
No. 2011-11 may have on the financial statements.
N. Other:
At October 31, 2012, the following number of shareholders held the following
approximate percentages of outstanding shares of the Portfolios. One or more of
the shareholders is an omnibus account, which typically holds 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, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our 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
Portfolios and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Portfolios, as defined, and
Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments/ summary schedule of portfolio holdings,
and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of DFA International Value Portfolio and U.S. Large Company Portfolio
(constituting portfolios within Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter
referred to as the "Portfolios") at October 31, 2012, 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 then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by
correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and the transfer agents of the
investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The year ending October 31, 2012 saw reduced volatility for U.S. equities
with positive returns in three out of four quarters for the widely used
benchmarks. The year began in the wake of MF Global's bankruptcy filing brought
on by losses on European sovereign debt. Many headlines for the rest of the
year also originated from Europe, from the Greek debt swap to the LIBOR scandal
that reached a crescendo in July.
Broad market returns were mostly positive for the first five months through
March 2012, but negative returns following the Facebook IPO and JP Morgan's
reported $2 billion trading loss made May the worst month of the year. The last
trading day of the year followed two days of market closures in the aftermath
of Hurricane Sandy. Through all this, U.S. markets rose in 8 out of the 12
months in the period.
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor") believes that
among the most important factors explaining differences in the behavior of
diversified equity portfolios are the market capitalization and value/ growth
characteristics of the portfolios' holdings. Value characteristics are a
function of stock price relative to one or more fundamental characteristics
such as earnings, dividends, and book value.
The size premium was negative during the year with small cap stocks
underperforming large cap stocks. Micro cap stocks were the strongest
performers as measured by the indices below.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 3000(R) Index....................................... 14.75%
Russell Microcap(R) Index (micro cap stocks)................ 16.49%

Russell 1000(R) Index (large cap stocks).................... 14.97%

The value premium was positive across both large cap and small cap stocks.

For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2012 were attributable primarily to differences in
value/growth and size characteristics as well as the exclusion of REIT
securities from most Dimensional portfolios and the exclusion of securities of
highly regulated utilities from most value strategies. For many portfolios, the
construction approach used by Dimensional generally resulted in portfolios with
greater weight in value or small-cap and micro-cap companies relative to widely
used benchmarks.

Domestic Equity Series' Performance Overview
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series seeks to capture the returns of U.S. large
company value stocks. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and
consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, and does not attempt to closely
track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Series held
approximately 250 securities and was mostly invested in equities throughout the
year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1% of the Series'
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 18.31% for the
Series and 16.89% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Series' diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally
by broad structural trends in the U.S. equity market rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. Value stocks, particularly in the largest size
category, generally outperformed during the period. The Series had
significantly greater exposure than the Index to value stocks, which
contributed to the relative outperformance. The Series' exclusion of REITs and
highly regulated utilities also helped performance as both of these sectors
underperformed the overall Index during the period.
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
The one-year period ending October 31, 2012, was characterized by generally
positive monthly returns with a sharp decline in the month of May. The MSCI
World ex USA Index (net dividends) dropped by -11.4% in the month of May due to
the deepening European debt crisis and concern over a potential Greece exit
from the euro. In response to the crisis, European leaders met and planned out
additional measures to stabilize the markets which positively impacted market
returns in the following months. As measured by the MSCI indices below for
developed markets outside the U.S., value stocks generally outperformed their
growth counterparts, while small cap stocks outperformed large caps.

International Equity Series' Performance Overview
The DFA International Value Series
The DFA International Value Series seeks to capture the returns of
international large company value stocks. Value stocks are typically
characterized by low relative price, as measured by their book-to-market ratio.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification
and consistent exposure to large cap value stocks, and does not attempt to
track any specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Series held
approximately 530 securities in 23 developed countries. In general, the Series
was mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure
for the period was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2012, total returns were 3.17% for the
Series and 4.40% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Series
focuses on international large-cap value stocks,as measured by book-to-market,
while the Index is neutral with regard to value or growth. International
large-cap value stocks, as measured by high book-to-market ratios, generally
underperformed during the period. The Series had significantly greater exposure
than the Index to value stocks, which contributed to relative underperformance.
In particular, large-cap value stocks in Japan significantly underperformed. As
the Series has significantly more weight in these securities than the Index,
these holdings detracted from relative performance. Differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Series and the Index contributed
to relative performance. The Series prices foreign exchange rates at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The
Series also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at
the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing
prices.
The Japanese Small Company Series
The Japanese Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of Japanese
small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, and does
not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Series held approximately 1,400 securities. In general, the Series was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 0.54% for the
Series and -1.01% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the Japanese equity market
rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series'
outperformance was primarily attributable to its holdings of companies with a
market capitalization below $500 million. These stocks are generally considered
too small to be included in the Index and outperformed other stocks,
contributing to the Series' relative performance. The Series' outperformance
was also attributable to differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Series and the Index. The Series prices foreign exchange rates at
the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time.
The Series also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of small
company stocks in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and
consistent exposure to small company stocks, and does not attempt to track a
specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Series held approximately
1,000 securities across the eligible countries. In general, the Series was
mostly invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for
the period was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 7.48% for the
Series and 4.01% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends).
As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in Asia Pacific equity
markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. In particular,
the Index held a number of larger Australian companies at higher weights than
the Series and these stocks underperformed, benefitting the Series' relative
performance. The
227
Series' outperformance was also attributable to differences in the valuation
timing and methodology between the Series and the Index. The Series prices
foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
rates at 4 pm London time. The Series also may use fair value pricing to price
certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index
uses local market closing prices.
The United Kingdom Small Company Series
The United Kingdom Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of U.K.
small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, and does
not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Series held approximately 360 securities. In general, the Series was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 23.41% for the
Series and 20.73% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad structural trends in the U.K. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series generally excluded
stocks not listed on the London Stock Exchange whereas the Index held a number
of stocks listed on other exchanges. The stocks that were excluded by the
Series significantly underperformed, contributed to the Series' relative
performance. In addition, the Series held a number of stocks that were
considered to be too large for the Index. These larger names outperformed,
which had a positive impact on relative performance. The Series' outperformance
was also attributable to differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Series and the Index. The Series prices foreign exchange rates at
the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time.
The Series also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
The Continental Small Company Series
The Continental Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of small
company stocks in developed markets of Europe (excluding the U.K.) and Israel,
by purchasing shares in such securities. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small
company stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of
October 31, 2012, the Series held approximately 1,400 securities in 15
developed continental European countries and Israel. Country allocations
generally reflect the approximate weights of individual securities within a
universe of continental European and Israeli small company stocks constructed
by the Advisor. In general, the Series was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for period was less than 1% of
the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 2.29% for the
Series and 3.75% for the MSCI Europe ex UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). As
a result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the continental European
(excluding the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets, rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Series defines the small cap universe differently
than the Index. For the one-year period, this led to differences in country
weights as well as holdings within certain countries. In particular, the Series
had a lower allocation to Norway, one of the best performing countries, which
detracted from relative performance. Differences in the Series' definition of
the small cap universe also resulted in the exclusion or lower weighting of
larger securities in Norway, Germany and Sweden, which also outperformed, and
detracted from the Series' relative performance. For the period, differences in
the valuation timing and methodology between the Series and the Index
contributed to relative performance. The Series prices foreign exchange rates
at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London
time. The Series also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
228
The Canadian Small Company Series
The Canadian Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of Canadian
small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification and consistent exposure to small company stocks, and does
not attempt to track a specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the
Series held approximately 420 securities. In general, the Series was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were -2.51% for the
Series and -1.67% for the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad structural trends in the Canadian equity
market. The Series held smaller securities than the Index, which had a negative
impact on relative performance as larger companies in Canada outperformed. The
Series' exclusion of REITs also detracted significantly from relative
performance as Canadian REITs outperformed.
The Emerging Markets Series
The Emerging Markets Series seeks to capture the returns of large cap stocks
in selected emerging markets countries. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to large cap
emerging markets stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity index.
As of October 31, 2012, the Series held approximately 970 securities across 20
emerging markets. In general, the Series was mostly invested in equities
throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less than 1%
of the Series' assets. The Series' country weights were capped at 15% of assets
associated with any one country at the time of purchase by the manager to limit
single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 4.55% for the
Series and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of
a limited number of stocks. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Series and the Index were the primary reason for the Series'
outperformance relative to the Index. The Series prices foreign exchange rates
at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London
time. The Series also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series seeks to capture the returns of small
company stocks in selected emerging markets. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to small
company stocks in selected emerging markets, and does not attempt to track a
specific equity index. As of October 31, 2012, the Series held approximately
2,900 securities across 16 emerging markets. In general, the Series was mostly
invested in equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the
period was less than 1% of the Series' assets. The Series' country weights were
capped at 15% of assets associated with any one country upon purchase by the
manager to limit single-country risk exposure.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 7.19% for the
Series and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified approach, performance was principally
determined by structural trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of
a limited number of stocks. The Series focuses on small cap stocks while the
Index primarily holds mid-cap and large cap stocks. Emerging markets small cap
stocks outperformed larger companies over the period. The Series' significantly
greater exposure than the Index to small cap stocks contributed to the relative
outperformance. In addition, differences in country weights between the Series
and the Index also contributed to the Series' relative outperformance. To a
lesser extent, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Series and the Index also contributed to outperformance. The Series prices
foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses
rates at 4 pm London time. The Series also may use fair value pricing to price
certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index
uses local market closing prices.

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

Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.
The fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling
collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors
LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the
SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the
SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The

investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
The DFA Investment Trust Company (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Trust consists of twelve portfolios, nine of which are included in this section
of the report (collectively, the "Series"). The remaining operational
portfolios are presented in separate reports.
Domestic Equity Portfolio International Equity Portfolios
------------------------- -----------------------------------------
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
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series
Effective December 31, 2008 and November 1, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series and The DFA International Value Series, respectively, each a master fund
in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of their
respective Holder(s) to change their U.S. federal income tax classification
from that of an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant
to Treasury Regulation (S) 301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and
retroactive reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and
financial highlights for the respective funds is a result of the treatment of a
partnership for book purposes. Each Series/Portfolio will maintain its books
and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") on
September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of
the Series from November 30 to October 31.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, 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 Series utilizes a fair value hierarchy which
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three broad levels described below:
. Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies,
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)
277
Securities held by the Domestic Equity Portfolio and the International
Equity Portfolios, including over-the-counter securities, are valued at the
last quoted sale price at the close of the exchanges on which they are
principally traded (official closing price). International equity securities
are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note. Securities
held by the Domestic Equity Portfolio and the International Equity Portfolios
that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sale price or NOCP for the day, the
Domestic Equity Portfolio and International Equity Portfolios value the
securities at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices which
approximate fair value. Price information on listed securities is taken from
the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally, securities
issued by open-end investment companies are valued using their respective net
asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders
placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). 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/Trustees. Fair value pricing may also be used if events
that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in
the discretion of the Investment Committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP)
occur before the net asset value is calculated. When fair value pricing is
used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolio and
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 in the hierachy.
The International Equity Portfolios will also apply a fair value price in
the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities
markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the NYSE.
For example, trading in the Japanese securities markets is completed each day
at the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is
fourteen hours prior to the close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the
time that the net asset values of the International Equity Portfolios are
computed. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant
foreign securities exchanges and the time the International Equity Portfolios
price their shares at the close of the NYSE, the International Equity
Portfolios will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that
the market quotations for the foreign investments are either unreliable or not
readily available. The fair value prices will attempt to reflect the impact of
the U.S. financial markets' perceptions and trading activities on the
International Equity Portfolios' foreign investments since the last closing
prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign
securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Trust have determined that movements in relevant
indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo
Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations
may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily
basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios utilizes
data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon,
among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When an
International Equity Portfolio uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to
the International Equity Portfolio's foreign investments may not be the quoted
or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.
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.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series' investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in the Security
Valuation note. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the
Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those securities.
The Series had no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the
year ended October 31, 2012.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of the International Equity Portfolios, whose values are initially expressed in
foreign currencies, are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the
most recently quoted bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by
generally recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain
expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their
278
respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates and
exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the
market prices of securities held whether realized or unrealized.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually
received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director/Trustee of the Trust
may elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such
Directors/Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees
earned as a Director/Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as though
such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap
Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio;
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA International Value
Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging Markets Portfolio;
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income
Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors'/Trustees'
Fees & Expenses.
Each Director/Trustee has the option to receive their 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 Director/Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election
(the "Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's/Trustee's deferred
compensation until a date specified by such Director/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member
of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of
the Director's/Trustee's first deferral election. If a Director/Trustee who
elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of
which payment of the Director's/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member of the
Board of the Fund (unless the Director/Trustee files an amended Notice
selecting a different distribution date). As of October 31, 2012, none of the
Directors/Trustees have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a
deferred fee account.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of distributions
received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest
income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities
purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities, utilizing
the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to a Series are
directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust or Series are allocated using
methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average
net assets.
The International Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in
which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or
operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or
repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The
Series accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or
throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for
the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned
by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country's
balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary
restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
279
The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series are
subject to a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term capital gains for
investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities.
The taxes for the capital gains are recognized when the capital gains are
earned.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment advisory
services to the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Series'
investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... 0.10%
The DFA International Value Series...... 0.20%
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 0.10%
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 0.10%

The Canadian Small Company Series....... 0.10%
The Emerging Markets Series............. 0.10%
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 0.20%
Earned Income Credit:
In addition, the Series have entered into arrangements with their custodian
whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of each Series custody expenses. Custody expense in the accompanying
financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. During the year
ended October 31, 2012, expenses reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Trust; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the total
related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $82 (in thousands). The total
related amounts paid by each of the Series are included in Other Expenses on
the Statement of Operations.
D. Deferred Compensation:
At October 31, 2012, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series.... $262
The DFA International Value Series. 202

E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Series made the following purchases
and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S.
government securities (amounts in thousands):

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 1,275,998 309,522
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government 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.
At October 31, 2012, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes
were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts
in thousands):
Net

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 2,953,965 649,864 (355,981) 293,883
The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
281
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed each Series' tax
positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in any Series' financial statements. No Series is 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 Series' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years
remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
On November 1, 2008, The DFA International Value Series, a master fund in a
RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with five RIC feeders and other direct client
investor(s), made a "Check-the-box" election for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal entity
classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment company to
a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is deemed to have
distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable transaction, to its
shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately thereafter, the
shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and liabilities to a
newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The DFA International Value
Series was October 31, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes, pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") (S)336(a), the master fund recognized gain or
loss as if the master fund's investment securities were sold to its
shareholders and, pursuant to IRC (S)331, each of the Portfolios recognized
gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master fund. As a result
of the transaction, The DFA International Value Series recognized a
($2,309,440,866) and ($718,733) capital and currency loss respectively for tax
year ended October 31, 2008. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)334(a), each
of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed
received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the
deemed liquidation date.
Effective December 31, 2008, The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, a master fund
in a RIC/RIC master-feeder structure with four RIC feeders and other direct
client investor(s), made a "Check-the-box" election for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal
entity classification from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment
company to a partnership. As a result of this election, the master fund is
deemed to have distributed all of its assets and liabilities, in a taxable
transaction, to its shareholders in liquidation of the master fund. Immediately
thereafter, the shareholders contributed all of the distributed assets and
liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final tax year end of The U.S.
Large Cap Value Series was December 30, 2008. For Federal income tax purposes,
pursuant to IRC (S)336(a), the master fund recognized a loss as if the master
fund's investment securities were sold to its shareholders and, pursuant to IRC
(S)331, each of the Portfolios recognized a gain as if it liquidated its
investment in the master fund. For tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)334(a),
each of the Portfolios took a fair market value basis in the securities deemed
received by them and a new holding period for those securities commenced on the
deemed liquidation date. As a result of the transaction, The U.S. Large Cap
Value Series recognized a ($2,303,664,484) capital loss for tax year ended
December 30, 2008.
G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Series' investment objectives and policies, the
Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their
significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Repurchase Agreements: The Series may purchase certain U.S. Government
securities subject to the counterparty's agreement to repurchase them at an
agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis
to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less
than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are
conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve
book-entry system with the Series' custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In
the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
2. Foreign Markets 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.
282
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 by the Series may be
inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Series.
3. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain
market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract,
the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker,
equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the
contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker
each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract.
These receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded
daily by the Series as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are
closed. When the contracts are closed, the Series record a realized gain or
loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain
or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities or indices, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for
these instruments and from the possibility that the Series could lose more than
the initial margin requirements. The Series entering into stock index futures
are subject to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty
credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the
exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures,
guarantees the futures against default.
The following is a summary of the Series' location and value of derivative
instrument holdings on the Series' Statements of Operations categorized by
primary risk exposure for the year ended October 31, 2012 (amounts in
thousands):

* As of October 31, 2012, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During
the year ended October 31, 2012, the Series had limited activity in futures
contracts.
H. Line of Credit:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22,
2011 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at 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 line of credit is
283
scheduled to expire on July 6, 2013. There were no borrowings by the Series
under this line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2012.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 13, 2012 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of
$500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not
exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 line of credit
expires on January 11, 2013. The Trust expects to enter into a new line of
credit with substantially the same terms as its existing line of credit prior
to its expiration.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, borrowings by the Series under this
line of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):
Weighted Weighted Number of Interest Maximum Amount
Average Average Days Expense Borrowed During
Interest Rate Loan Balance Outstanding* Incurred the Period
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... 0.89% $18,911 99 $46 $58,537
The DFA International Value Series...... 0.87% 10,399 20 5 53,091
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 0.87% 483 9 -- 1,800
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 0.86% 508 32 -- 2,385
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. 0.86% 304 10 -- 2,542
The Continental Small Company Series.... 0.91% 1,700 10 -- 3,042
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 0.79% 24 5 -- 121
The Emerging Markets Series............. 0.88% 4,459 28 3 10,372
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 0.87% 2,241 35 2 9,738
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2012 that each Series' available line of
credit was utilized.
At October 31, 2012, only The Asia Pacific Small Company Series had a loan
outstanding in the amount of $401 (in thousands).
I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2012, each Series had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Series received cash collateral. In
addition, The Emerging Market Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series
received non-cash collateral consisting of short and/or long term U.S. Treasury
securities with a market value of $47,301 and $61,083, respectively (in
thousands). Each Series invests the cash collateral, as described below, and
records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the
securities are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be
secured by collateral equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of
the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its
agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with
respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market
fluctuations could cause the Series' collateral to be lower or higher than the
expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted
the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the
borrower fails to return loaned securities, and cash collateral being
maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned
securities and provided such collateral insufficiency is not the result of
investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the
shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the
securities.
Subject to 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
284
average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Such 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 and
unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. For purposes of
this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. In addition, each Series will be able to terminate
the loan at any time and will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well
as amounts equal to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the
loaned securities. However, dividend income received from loaned securities may
not be eligible to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Trust.
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" requiring disclosure of both gross and net information related to
offsetting and related arrangements enabling users of its financial statements
to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial
position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and those entities that prepare their
financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting
Standards. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU
No. 2011-11 may have on the financial statements.
L. Other:
The Series are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
On November 1, 2010 a class action complaint was filed in Bankruptcy Court
in the bankruptcy case of The Tribune Company ("Tribune"). The defendants in
this action include mutual funds, individuals, institutional investors and
others who owned shares in Tribune at the time of the 2007 leveraged buyout
transaction (the "LBO") and sold their shares for $34 per share in cash, such
as The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. Thereafter, two additional and
substantially similar class actions were filed and are pending in United States
District Courts (with the Bankruptcy Court action, collectively referred to as
the "Lawsuits"). The Lawsuits have been consolidated into a single
Multidistrict Litigation action in federal court for pretrial proceedings. The
Lawsuits seek to recover, for the benefit of Tribune's bankruptcy estate or
various creditors, payments to shareholders in the LBO. The Lawsuits allege
that Tribune's payment for those shares violated the rights of creditors, as
set forth in the Bankruptcy Code's and various states' fraudulent transfer
laws. However, the Lawsuits proceed on different legal theories: the Bankruptcy
Court action pleads an intentionally fraudulent transfer; the District Court
actions plead constructively fraudulent transfers.
Litigation counsel to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series in the Lawsuits does
not believe that it is possible, at this early stage in the proceedings, to
predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or
quantify the ultimate exposure to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series arising from
the Lawsuits. Until The U.S. Large
285
Cap Value Series can do so, no reduction of the net asset value of The U.S.
Large Cap Value Series will be made relating to the Lawsuits. However, even if
the plaintiffs in the Lawsuits were to obtain the full recovery they seek, the
amount would be less than 1% of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series' net asset
value at this time.
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series also cannot predict what its size might be
at the time the cost of the Lawsuits might be quantifiable and thus potentially
deducted from its net asset value. Therefore, at this time, those buying or
redeeming shares of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series will pay or receive, as the
case may be, a price based on net asset value of The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys' fees and
costs relating to the Lawsuits will be taken as expenses by The U.S. Large Cap
Value Series as incurred and in a manner similar to any other expense incurred
by The U.S. Large Cap Value Series.
M. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series
and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.
286
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Series, as defined, and
Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series, The DFA International Value Series, The
Japanese Small Company Series, The Asia Pacific Small Company Series, The
United Kingdom Small Company Series, The Continental Small Company Series, The
Canadian Small Company Series, The Emerging Markets Series, and The Emerging
Markets Small Cap Series (constituting portfolios within The DFA Investment
Trust Company, hereafter referred to as the "Series") at October 31, 2012, 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 then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Series' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers, and the transfer agent of the
investee fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2012
Gains in emerging markets were lower on average than in developed markets,
although results varied widely among the individual emerging markets countries.
For the one-year period ended October 31, 2012, returns in USD were 2.63% for
the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends) versus 4.40% for the MSCI World
ex USA Index (net dividends). As measured by the MSCI indices, emerging markets
growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts, while emerging markets
small cap stocks outperformed large caps.

International Equity Fund Performance Overview
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund
The Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund seeks to capture the returns of
value stocks of any market capitalization size in selected emerging markets.
Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification and consistent exposure to
emerging markets value stocks, and does not attempt to track a specific equity
index. As of October 31, 2012, the Fund held approximately 2,200 securities
across 18 emerging markets. In general, the Fund was mostly invested in
equities throughout the year. The average cash exposure for the period was less
than 1% of the Fund's assets. The Fund's country weights were capped at 15% of
assets associated with any one country at the time of purchase by the manager,
Dimensional Fund Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor"), to limit
single-country risk exposure.
289
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, total returns were 1.10% for the
Fund and 2.63% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was generally
determined by broad structural trends in emerging markets rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Fund focuses on value stocks, as
measured by book-to-market, while the Index is neutral with regard to value or
growth. Value stocks in emerging markets significantly underperformed during
the period. The Fund had significantly greater exposure than the Index to value
stocks, which was the primary contributor to relative underperformance. In
particular, the Fund had lower exposure than the Index to large cap growth
stocks in the Information Technology sector, which significantly outperformed
and detracted from the Fund's relative performance. Differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Fund and the Index contributed
positively to performance of the Fund. The Fund prices foreign exchange rates
at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London
time. The Fund also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.

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

* Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio for the six-month
period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied
by the number of days in the most recent six-month period (184), then divided
by the number of days in the year (366) to reflect the six-month period.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
(Unaudited)
The SEC requires that all Funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with
the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For Dimensional
Emerging Markets Value Fund, this would be for the fiscal quarters ending
January 31 and July 31. The Form N-Q filing must be made within 60 days of the
end of the quarter. Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund filed its most
recent Form N-Q with the SEC on September 28, 2012. It is available upon
request without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a

they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in
Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the
Public Reference Room).
SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.
The fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling
collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors
LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the
SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the
SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC requires that all Funds present their categories of portfolio
holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. ("DEM I") was organized as a
closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Effective November 21, 1997, DEM I was
reorganized as an open-end management investment company. On October 27, 2009,
the Board of Directors and shareholders of DEM I approved an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization that provided for the reorganization of DEM I from a Maryland
corporation to a Delaware statutory trust. Effective October 30, 2009, DEM I
transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Dimensional Emerging Markets
Value Fund ("DEM II" or the "Fund"), a Delaware statutory trust, in a tax-free
exchange under Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") (S)368(a)(1)(F).
Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund ("DEM
II"), a master fund in a master-feeder structure, elected with the consent of
its Holder(s) to change its U.S. federal income tax classification from that of
an association taxable as a corporation to a partnership pursuant to Treasury
Regulation (S)301.7701-3. The change in capital structure and retroactive
reclassification of the statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for DEM II is a result of the treatment of a partnership for book
purposes. DEM II and Emerging Markets Value Portfolio ("Portfolio") will
maintain their books and records and present their financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
partnerships.
At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") on
September 16, 2008, the Board voted to change the fiscal and tax year ends of
the Fund from November 30 to October 31.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, 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 (including equity securities, open-end investment companies,
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 at the close of the exchanges on which
they are principally traded (official closing price). 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 at the mean of the most recent
quoted bid and asked prices which approximate fair value. Price information on
listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily
traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end investment companies are
valued using their respective
301
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/Trustees. Fair value pricing may also be used if events
that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in
the discretion of the Investment Committee of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP)
occur before the net asset value 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 in the hierarchy.
The Fund will also fair value price in the circumstances described below.
Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at
various times prior to the close of the NYSE. For example, trading in the
Japanese securities markets is completed each day at the close of the Tokyo
Stock Exchange (normally, 11:00 p.m. PT), which is fourteen hours prior to the
close of the NYSE (normally, 1:00 p.m. PT) and the time that the net asset
value of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings
of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the time the Fund prices its
shares at the close of the NYSE, the Fund will fair value its foreign
investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign
investments are either unreliable or not readily available. The fair value
prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets'
perceptions and trading activities on the Fund's foreign investments since the
last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary
foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund 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 utilizes 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 the Security
Valuation note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the
Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for
valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those securities.
The Fund had no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the
year ended October 31, 2012.
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 recently quoted bid
and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated to
U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective accrual dates.
Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are marked to market
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 fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities held
whether realized or unrealized.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the
U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. Deferred Compensation Plan: Each eligible Director/Trustee of the Fund
may elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002,
302
such Directors/Trustees may defer payment of all or a portion of their total
fees earned as a Director/Trustee. These deferred amounts may be treated as
though such amounts had been invested in shares of the following funds: U.S.
Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. Core Equity 2
Portfolio; U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio; U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio; DFA
International Value Portfolio; International Core Equity Portfolio; Emerging
Markets Portfolio; Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio; and/or DFA Two-Year
Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in
Directors'/Trustees' Fees & Expenses. At October 31, 2012, the total liability
for deferred compensation to Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and
Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in the amount of
$261 (in thousands).
Each Director/Trustee has the option to receive their 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 Director/Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election
(the "Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's/Trustee's deferred
compensation until a date specified by such Director/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member
of the Board of the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of
the Director's/Trustee's first deferral election. If a Director/Trustee who
elects to defer fees fails to designate in the Notice a time or date as of
which payment of the Director's/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 Director/Trustee ceases to be a member of the
Board of the Fund (unless the Director/Trustee files an amended Notice
selecting a different distribution date). As of October 31, 2012, none of the
Directors/Trustees have requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a
deferred fee account.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of distributions
received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to the
Fund are directly charged.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests,
with respect to its investment 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. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a country's
balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary
restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The 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 a 15% governmental capital gains tax on short-term
capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of
individual securities. The taxes for the capital gains are recognized when the
capital gains are earned.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment advisory
services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund's advisory
services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an
effective annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets.
Earned Income Credit:
In addition, 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
303
financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. During the year
ended October 31, 2012, expenses reduced were $105 (amount in thousands).
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $26 (in thousands). The total
related amounts paid by the Fund are included in Other Expenses on the
Statement of Operations.
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund made the following purchases
and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S.
government securities (amounts in thousands):
Purchases. $4,238,656
Sales..... 1,158,122
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
E. Federal Income Taxes:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the 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.
At October 31, 2012, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation and (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes
were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts
in thousands):
Net
Unrealized
Federal Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Tax Cost Appreciation (Depreciation) (Depreciation)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
$18,160,399 $2,642,341 $(2,941,844) $(299,503)
The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax
position 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
position 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.
Effective November 1, 2009, Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund ("DEM
II"), a master fund in a master-feeder structure with one RIC feeder and other
direct client investors, made a "Check-the-Box" election for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)301.7701-3, to change its federal
entity classifications from a corporation taxable as a regulated investment
company to a partnership. DEM II will maintain its books and records and
present its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for investment partnerships. As a result of this
election, the master fund is deemed to have distributed all of its assets and
liabilities on October 31, 2009 to its shareholders in liquidation of the
master fund. Since the master fund had a shareholder owning 80% or more of its
shares, and also had shareholders owning less than 80%, the transaction created
a non-taxable transaction, pursuant to IRC (S)332, for those owning more than
80%, and a taxable transaction, pursuant to IRC (S)331, for those shareholders
owning less than 80%. Immediately after the deemed liquidation, the
shareholders contributed all of
304
the distributed assets and liabilities to a newly formed partnership. The final
tax year end of the Master Fund was October 31, 2009.
For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to IRC (S)336(a), the master fund
recognized gain or loss relative to the investment of the less than 80%
shareholders as if the master fund's investment securities were sold to those
shareholders and, pursuant to IRC (S)331, each of those shareholders recognized
gain or loss as if it liquidated its investment in the master fund. Pursuant to
IRC (S)334(a), each of these shareholders took a fair market value basis in the
securities deemed received by them and a new holding period for those
securities commenced on the deemed liquidation date. In regards to the
shareholder owning 80% or more of the master fund, pursuant to IRC (S)332(a),
the shareholder did not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed liquidation.
However, pursuant to IRC (S)332(c), a portion of the deemed distribution, which
otherwise would have been tax-free as discussed above, since it was utilized by
the master fund to satisfy its dividends paid deduction for the tax year, had
to be recognized and treated as a dividend by the 80% or greater shareholder.
Pursuant to IRC (S)334(b)(1) and (S)1223, the 80% or greater shareholder's
basis and holding period in the securities received in liquidation was the same
as it was in the possession of the master fund. As a result of the transaction,
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund recognized a $104,402,506 and ($16,523)
capital gain and currency loss respectively, for tax year ended October 31,
2009.
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. Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may purchase certain U.S. Government
securities subject to the counterparty's agreement to repurchase them at an
agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis
to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less
than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are
conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve
book-entry system with the Fund's custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In
the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
2. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the
United States, 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 by the Fund
may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Fund.
3. Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to gain
market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract,
the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities to a broker, equal
to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the
contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker
each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract.
These receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded
daily by the 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 entering 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
305
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 following is a summary of the location of realized gains and losses on
the Fund's Statement of Operations for the Fund's derivative instrument
holdings categorized by primary risk exposure through the year ended
October 31, 2012:

/*/ As of October 31, 2012, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund had limited activity in
futures contracts.
G. Line of Credit:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22,
2011 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $250 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $250 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at 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 line of credit is scheduled to expire on July 6,
2013. There were no borrowings by the Fund under this line of credit during the
year ended October 31, 2012.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 13, 2012 with its international custodian bank. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of
$500 million, as long as total borrowings under the line of credit do not
exceed $500 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed 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 line of credit
expires on January 11, 2013. The Fund expects to enter into a new line of
credit with substantially the same terms as its existing line of credit prior
to its expiration.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, borrowings by the Fund under this line
of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentage and days):
Weighted Weighted Number of Interest Maximum Amount
Average Average Days Expense Borrowed During
Interest Rate Loan Balance Outstanding* Incurred the Period
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
0.86% $23,251 25 $14 $71,121
/*/ Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive
days during the year ended October 31, 2012 that the Fund's available line
of credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Fund under this line of credit
as of October 31, 2012.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2012, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers,
for which the Fund received cash collateral. In addition, the Fund received
non-cash collateral consisting of short and/or long term U.S. Treasury
securities with a market value of $247,081 (in thousands). The Fund invests the
cash collateral, as described below,
306
and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the
securities are on loan. Loans of securities are required at all times to be
secured by collateral equal to at least (i) 100% of the current market value of
the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its
agencies, (ii) 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with
respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) 105% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market
fluctuations could cause the 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, and cash collateral being
maintained by the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned
securities and provided such collateral insufficiency is not the result of
investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the
shortfall to the Fund or, at the option of the lending agent, to replace the
securities.
Subject to its stated investment policy, 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. 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 and unaffiliated registered and unregistered money market funds. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. In addition, 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 to be taxed at qualified dividend income rates.
I. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
J. Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" requiring disclosure of both gross and net information related to
offsetting and related arrangements enabling users of its financial statements
to understand the effect of those arrangements on the entity's financial
position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and those entities that prepare their
financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting
Standards. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is evaluating any impact ASU
No. 2011-11 may have on the financial statements.
K. Other
The Fund is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the
ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy,
certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune
Company who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a
leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the
shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims
against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse
impact on our financial
307
position, our results of operations, or our cash flows, these matters are
subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may
change in the future.
L. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.
308
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Dimensional Emerging Markets
Value Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dimensional
Emerging Markets Value Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 2012, 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 then ended and the financial highlights for each
of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the
custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, 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") 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 four standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating
Committee, a Portfolio Performance and Service Review Committee (the
"Performance Committee") and an Independent Review Committee (the "Review
Committee"). The Audit Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson and Abbie J. Smith. Each member of the Audit Committee is a
disinterested 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 also acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2012.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides,
John P. Gould, Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear and Abbie
J. Smith. 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
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. The Nominating Committee did not meet during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.
Each Board's Performance Committee is comprised of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Abbie J. Smith, Edward P. Lazear, John P. Gould and Myron S.
Scholes. Each member of the Performance Committee is a disinterested
Trustee/Director. The Performance Committee regularly reviews and monitors the
investment performance of the Fund's series and reviews the performance of the
Fund's service providers. There were seven Performance Committee meetings held
during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.
Each Board's Review Committee consists of both interested and disinterested
Trustees/Directors. The Review Committee is comprised of John P. Gould, Edward
P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Eduardo A. Repetto. The Review 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 Review Committee may (i) review the design of possible new series
of the Fund, (ii) review performance of existing portfolios of the Fund and
discuss and recommend possible enhancements to the portfolios' investment
strategies, (iii) review proposals by the Advisor to modify or enhance the
investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and (iv) consider issues
relating to investment services for each portfolio of the Fund. The Review
Committee was formed on December 17, 2010, and there were two Review Committee
meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
each interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a director or trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds
include additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain

(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.
A. General
1. The Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit
services that the Auditor provides to the Funds.
2. The Committee must pre-approve any engagement of the Auditor to
provide non-audit services to any Service Affiliate during the period
of the Auditor's engagement to provide audit services to the Funds,
if the non-
audit services to the Service Affiliate directly impact the Funds'
operations and financial reporting.
B. Pre-Approval of Audit Services to the Funds
1. The Committee shall approve the engagement of an independent
registered public accounting firm to certify the Funds' financial
statements for each fiscal year (the "Engagement"). The approval of
the Engagement shall not be delegated to a Designated Member (as that
term is defined in Section D below). In approving the Engagement, the
Committee shall obtain, review and consider sufficient information
concerning the proposed Auditor to enable the Committee to make a
reasonable evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and
independence. The Committee also shall consider the Auditor's
proposed fees for the Engagement, in light of the scope and nature of
the audit services that the Funds will receive.
2. The Committee shall report to the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the
Funds (together, the "Board") regarding its approval of the
Engagement and of the proposed fees for the Engagement, and the basis
for such approval.
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.
F. Recordkeeping
1. The Funds shall maintain a written record of all decisions made by
the Committee or by a Designated Member pursuant to these procedures,
