MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
The one-year period ended October 31, 2013, was characterized by strong
gains in U.S. equities. The broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the
Russell 3000(R) Index, had positive returns in 10 of the 12 months.
The size premium was positive during the period with small cap stocks
outperforming large cap stocks as measured by the Russell indices. Micro cap
stocks were the strongest performers.
TOTAL RETURN FOR 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 3000(R) Index........................ 28.99%
Russell Microcap(R) Index (micro cap stocks). 38.72%
Russell 2000(R) Index (small cap stocks)..... 36.28%
Russell 1000(R) Index (large cap stocks)..... 28.40%
Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index /SM/........ 9.96%
The value premium was negative in small cap stocks while the performance of
large cap value and large cap growth was almost identical as measured by the
Russell indices.

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 book value, earnings, or dividends.
For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2013, were primarily attributable 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, small cap, and/or 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,
2013, an average of approximately 96% 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.
19
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, the total return was 26.99% for
the Portfolio and 27.18% for the S&P 500(R) Index. Relative to the Index, the
Portfolio's underperformance was primarily due to the performance of the fixed
income component of the Portfolio. The return of the fixed income component was
slightly less than the average interest rate priced into the S&P 500(R) futures
contracts that the Portfolio purchased throughout the year.
U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S.
large company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately
830 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
From the Portfolio's inception on June 25, 2013, through October 31, 2013,
total returns were 11.01% for the Portfolio and 12.13% for the Russell 1000(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 higher average cash balances than the Index in June 2013, the
month it launched, which was primarily responsible for the Portfolio's relative
underperformance compared to the Index as U.S. equities generally had positive
returns in the last days of June. The Portfolio's relative underperformance was
partly offset by its greater exposure than the Index to smaller stocks within
the large cap universe, which generally outperformed larger stocks during the
period. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs")
also benefited the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed
during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held
approximately 220 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the
year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 35.52% for the
Portfolio and 28.29% 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. The Master Fund had significantly
greater exposure than the Index to deeper value stocks. These stocks generally
outperformed the Index, and the Master Fund's higher weight helped the
Portfolio's relative performance. The Master Fund's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts ("REITs") and highly regulated utilities also contributed to
the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as both 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. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately
1,500 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 40.39% for the
Portfolio's Class R1 shares, 40.10% for the Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 40.40%
for the Portfolio's Institutional Class shares, and 32.83% 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 exclusion of REITs and highly regulated utilities contributed
to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as these sectors
underperformed the overall Index during the period.
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
20
diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately 1,200
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 39.35% for the
Portfolio and 32.83% 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 exclusion of real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") and highly regulated utilities contributed
to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as both sectors
underperformed the overall Index during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held
approximately 2,900 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout
the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 32.32% for the
Portfolio and 28.99% 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 greater exposure
than the Index to small cap stocks and less exposure to large cap stocks, both
of which contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as
small cap stocks generally outperformed large cap stocks during the period. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs
underperformed during the period.
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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately 2,900 securities. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 33.66% for the
Portfolio and 28.99% 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 greater exposure
than the Index to small cap stocks and less exposure to large cap stocks, both
of which contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as
small cap stocks generally outperformed large cap stocks during the period. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs
underperformed during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the
Portfolio held approximately 2,800 securities. In general, cash exposure was
low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 36.80% for the
Portfolio and 28.99% 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 greater exposure
than the Index to small cap stocks and less exposure to large cap stocks, both
of which contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as
small cap stocks generally outperformed large cap stocks during the period. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs
underperformed during the period.
21
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately 2,200
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 39.03% for the
Portfolio and 36.28% 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 exclusion of real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.
The Portfolio excluded certain extreme small cap growth stocks, as measured by
book-to-market ratio and other metrics, which were held by the Index. These
stocks generally underperformed relative to the Index, and their exclusion from
the Portfolio also benefited the Portfolio's relative performance.
U.S. MICRO CAP PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the smallest
U.S. company stocks and generally has a smaller market capitalization profile
than the U.S. Small Cap Portfolio. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held
approximately 1,900 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout
the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 41.34% for the
Portfolio and 36.28% 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. Micro cap
stocks generally outperformed small and mid-cap stocks during the period, and
the Portfolio's greater exposure than the Index to micro cap stocks contributed
to the Portfolio's relative outperformance. The Portfolio's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.
The Portfolio excluded certain extreme small cap growth stocks, as measured by
book-to-market ratio and other metrics, which were held by the Index. These
stocks generally underperformed, and their exclusion from the Portfolio
benefited the Portfolio's relative performance.
DFA REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. real estate securities. As of October 31,
2013, the Portfolio held approximately 120 securities. In general, cash
exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less than
1% of portfolio assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 10.28% for the
Portfolio, 9.96% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/, and 27.18% 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 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. In addition, the Index excludes net lease REITs, which
are eligible for the Portfolio. These securities held by the Portfolio and
excluded by the Index, particularly net lease REITs, generally outperformed
during the period and benefited the Portfolio's relative performance.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
The one-year period ended October 31, 2013, was characterized by generally
positive monthly returns in the international equity markets with the exception
of a sharp decline from May to June and a smaller decline in August. As
measured by the MSCI indices below for developed markets outside the U.S.,
small cap stocks generally outperformed large cap stocks while value stocks
outperformed growth stocks.

GLOBAL REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
Publicly traded global real estate investment trusts ("REITs") produced
positive overall returns during the one-year period ended October 31, 2013. In
most of the world, REITs trailed equities but exceeded fixed income returns.
REITs in the U.K., Continental Europe, and Japan produced the strongest returns
while REITs in emerging markets generally underperformed. The largest REIT
market, the United States, had positive returns. On a global basis, specialized
and industrial REITs had the biggest gains. Residential REITs were the weakest
performers but still delivered positive returns.

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.
LARGE CAP INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The Large Cap International Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified portfolio of international large company stocks. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately 1,500 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the
year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 24.85% for the
Portfolio and 24.65% 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. By design,
the Portfolio had slightly greater exposure than the Index to smaller stocks
within the large cap universe. These smaller stocks generally outperformed
larger stocks within the large cap universe and contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance
relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.
INTERNATIONAL CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The International Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of the
broad universe of international stocks, with increased exposure to smaller
company stocks and those with value characteristics. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the
Portfolio held approximately 4,900 securities in 22 eligible developed markets.
In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash
balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 27.98% for the
Portfolio and 24.65% 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 invests in stocks across all size categories while the Index
primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks. International small cap stocks
generally outperformed international large cap and mid cap stocks during the
period, and the Portfolio's greater exposure to small cap stocks benefited the
Portfolio's performance relative to the Index. The Portfolio's greater exposure
to deeper value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, was also beneficial as
these stocks generally outperformed the Index. The Portfolio's exclusion of
real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.

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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master Funds collectively held
approximately 4,200 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 30.66% for the
Portfolio and 27.81% 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 had a lesser allocation to Canadian securities, which
contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as Canadian
securities significantly underperformed. In addition, within the materials
sector, the Portfolio's holdings in Canada and Australia significantly
outperformed those of the Index. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance
relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.
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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held approximately 1,400 securities. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 30.06% for the
Portfolio and 30.99% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The
Master Fund's lesser exposure than the Index to GungHo Online Entertainment,
Inc., an online gaming company that significantly outperformed, was primarily
responsible for the Portfolio's underperformance relative to the Index. To a
lesser extent, the Master Fund's exclusion of real estate investment trusts
("REITs") benefited the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs
underperformed during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held
approximately 940 securities across the eligible countries. Country allocations
generally reflect the approximate weights of individual securities within a
universe of these countries' stocks constructed by the Advisor. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 10.46% for the
Portfolio and 6.83% 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.
The Master Fund's greater weight in the consumer discretionary sector and
lesser weight in the materials sector contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index as consumer discretionary generally
outperformed and materials generally underperformed. The Master Fund's
exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also had a small positive
impact on the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed during
the period.
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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held approximately 350 securities. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
25
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 36.81% for the
Portfolio and 35.72% 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 had a
lesser allocation to the energy sector, which contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index as energy significantly underperformed.
The Master Fund's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs
underperformed during the period. To a lesser extent, differences in the
valuation timing and methodology between the Master Fund and the Index
generally detracted from the Portfolio's 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.
CONTINENTAL SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The Continental Small Company Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
small company stocks in the 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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master
Fund held approximately 1,200 securities in 14 eligible 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, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 42.99% for the
Portfolio and 42.99% 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's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts ("REITs") had a positive impact on the Portfolio's
relative performance as REITs underperformed during the period. To a lesser
extent, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Master
Fund and the Index generally detracted from the Portfolio's 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.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held
approximately 220 securities in 20 approved developed and emerging market
countries. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of portfolio assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 9.24% for the
Portfolio and 9.05% 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 outperformance relative to the Index.
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. As of October 31, 2013,
the Portfolio invested in the DFA International Real Estate Securities
Portfolio and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (the "Underlying
Funds"). As of that date, the Underlying Funds held approximately 350
securities in 21 approved developed and emerging markets countries. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
26
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 9.74% for the
Portfolio and 9.77% 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. The Portfolio generally performed
in-line with the Index.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the
Portfolio held approximately 2,000 securities in 22 eligible developed
countries. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 37.79% for the
Portfolio and 27.81% 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. Within the
small cap universe, the Portfolio's greater exposure to value stocks, as
measured by book-to-market, contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance
relative to the Index as these stocks generally outperformed. Differences in
holdings in the materials and industrials sectors also contributed
significantly to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also benefited
the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed during the period.
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 relative to the
market. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held approximately 4,300
securities in 22 eligible developed markets. In general, cash exposure was low
throughout the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 29.52% for the
Portfolio and 24.65% 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 invests in stocks across all size categories while the Index
primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks. International small cap stocks
generally outperformed international mid cap and large cap stocks during the
period, and the Portfolio's greater exposure to small cap stocks contributed to
the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. The Portfolio's greater
exposure to deeper value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, was also
beneficial as these stocks generally outperformed the Index. The Portfolio's
exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during
the period.
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, The DFA International Small Cap Value
Portfolio, and The 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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 4,700
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 23.61% for the
Portfolio and 20.29% 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.
Value stocks generally outperformed growth stocks during the period,
particularly in developed markets. The Portfolio had greater
27
exposure than the Index to value stocks, which contributed to the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index. The Underlying Funds invest in stocks
across all size categories while the Index primarily holds large cap and
mid-cap stocks. Small cap stocks generally outperformed large and mid cap
stocks during the period, and the Portfolio's greater exposure to small cap
stocks contributed to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. The
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
benefited the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed during
the period. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Portfolio and the Index generally detracted from 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
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. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
value stocks in international developed and emerging markets by purchasing
shares of four funds managed by Dimensional: The DFA International Small Cap
Value Portfolio, the International Vector Equity Portfolio, the Dimensional
Emerging Markets Value Fund, and the Emerging Markets Small Cap Series (the
"Underlying Funds"). Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2013, the Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 8,200
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the period with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
From the Portfolio's inception on November 1, 2012, through October 31,
2013, total returns were 26.90% for the Portfolio and 22.89% for the MSCI All
Country 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 the international equity markets
rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Underlying Funds
focus on small and mid-cap securities that are considered value stocks, as
measured by book-to-market, while the Index is neutral with regard to value or
growth. Value stocks, particularly within the developed markets small cap
universe, generally outperformed growth stocks during the period. The Portfolio
had greater exposure than the Index to these stocks, which contributed to the
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. The Underlying Funds'
exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also benefited the
Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed during the period.
WORLD EX U.S. CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of
international stocks in developed and emerging markets, with increased exposure
to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics, by purchasing
shares of two funds managed by Dimensional: The International Core Equity
Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the "Underlying
Funds"). Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2013, the Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 8,800
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the period with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
From the Portfolio's inception on April 9, 2013, through October 31, 2013,
total returns were 9.62% for the Portfolio and 11.08% for the MSCI All Country
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 had a higher than average cash balance
around the time of its launch in April 2013. As developed and emerging market
equities generally had positive returns in April, the higher cash balance was
primarily responsible for the Portfolio's underperformance relative to the
Index. The Portfolio's relative underperformance was partly offset by its
greater exposure than the Index to small cap stocks and value stocks, both of
which generally outperformed relative to the Index during the period. The
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also
benefited the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs underperformed during
the period.
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
28
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. As of October 31, 2013, the
Underlying Funds held approximately 12,000 equity securities in 44 countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 26.86% for the
Portfolio and 23.29% 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. The Underlying Funds invest in stocks across all size categories
while the Index primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio had
greater exposure than the Index to value stocks, as measured by book-to-market
ratio. This emphasis on small cap and value, particularly in the U.S., was
primarily responsible for the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index
as small cap stocks and value stocks generally outperformed large and mid cap
stocks and growth stocks, respectively, during the period. The Underlying
Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to
the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index as REITs generally
underperformed during the period. The Portfolio had greater exposure than the
Index to emerging markets, which detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance as emerging markets generally underperformed during the period. The
Portfolio's currency hedging in Japanese yen also contributed to the
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index during the period.
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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held approximately 1,000 securities across 21
eligible emerging markets. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the
year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 6.58% for the
Portfolio and 6.53% 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 country weights between the Master
Fund and the Index contributed to relative performance differences. In
addition, differences in holdings within the financial sector contributed to
the Master Fund's outperformance relative to the Index.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held
approximately 3,100 securities across 17 eligible emerging markets. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 8.92% for the
Portfolio and 6.53% 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 large cap and mid-cap stocks. Emerging markets small
cap stocks generally outperformed emerging markets large cap stocks over the
period. The Master Fund's significantly greater exposure to small cap stocks
was primarily responsible for the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the
Index.
EMERGING MARKETS VALUE PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of value
stocks of large and small companies in selected emerging markets by purchasing
shares of the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund,
29
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master Fund held
approximately 2,200 securities across 19 eligible emerging markets. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 7.75% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 8.01% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and 6.53% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master 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 Master Fund invests in stocks
across all size categories while the Index primarily holds large and mid-cap
stocks. Emerging markets small cap stocks generally outperformed emerging
markets large cap stocks during the period. The Master Fund's greater exposure
to small cap stocks value was primarily responsible for the Portfolio's
outperformance relative to the Index. The Master Fund's greater exposure to
value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, was also beneficial as these
stocks generally outperformed the Index.

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.

amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.

Each feeder fund and fund of funds (collectively, "Feeder Funds") invests
primarily in a corresponding master fund(s) ("Master Fund") as indicated.
International Small Company Portfolio, DFA Global Real Estate Securities
Portfolio, World ex U.S. Value Portfolio, World ex U.S. Targeted Value
Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, and Selectively Hedged Global
Equity Portfolio also invest in short-term temporary cash investments. In
addition, World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Equity
Portfolio, and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio engages in futures
and forward currency contracts.
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.
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
the 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 will maintain its books and records and present its financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment partnerships.
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)
Securities held by Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap
Equity Portfolio, U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value
Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S.
Vector Equity Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio and
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") and
Large Cap International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, DFA
International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap
Value Portfolio, International Vector Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets
Core Equity Portfolio (the "International Equity Portfolios"), including
over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price 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 the International
Equity Portfolios value the securities at the mean of the most recent quoted
bid and asked prices which approximate fair value. Price
148
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 the
International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices
for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities
are generally categorized as Level 2 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"), and International Equity Portfolios, are valued on the
basis of evaluated prices provided by one or more pricing services or other
reasonably reliable sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the
purchase and sale of such securities. Securities 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 categorized as
Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Listed Derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued
based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the
hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward
currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are
observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Shares held by the DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio, World ex
U.S. Value Portfolio (except The DFA International Value Series), World ex U.S.
Targeted Value Portfolio (except The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series), World
ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio of
the Master Funds, which are treated as regulated investment companies, and the
shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies, are valued at
their respective daily net asset values as reported by their administrator. The
Feeder Funds, International Small Company Portfolio, World ex U.S. Value
Portfolio and World ex U.S. Targeted Value
149
Portfolio's investments in Series of DFAITC or DEM reflect their proportionate
interest in the net assets of such corresponding Master Fund. These valuations
are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Portfolios recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period.
As of October 31, 2013, the Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio had
significant transfers of securities with a total value of $925,099 (in
thousands) that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. At October 31, 2013, the
fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which
occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they
trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2
classification.
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 recent 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
fluctuations 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 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 any 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 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
150
selecting a different distribution date). As of October 31, 2013, 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 and foreign currency 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 gains 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, World ex U.S. Value Portfolio and World ex U.S. Targeted 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 Fund within DFAITC or DEM, which are treated as partnerships for federal
income tax purposes.
The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they
invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in
such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated
and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolios
accrue such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or
throughout the holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for
the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned
by foreign investors. 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% tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes
are due upon sale of individual securities. The capital gains taxes 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, 2013, the Portfolios' investment advisory
services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the

* 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 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.
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (the "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain fees, including administration/advisory fees, and in certain
instances, assume certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes
below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolios below will remain in effect
through February 28, 2014 (except for the U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio which
will remain in effect through February 28, 2015), and shall continue in effect
from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. For
the year ended October 31, 2013, 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). Previously waived fees subject to future recovery by
the Advisor are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). The Fund, on
behalf of the Portfolios, 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 recovery.

of average net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount").
The Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Portfolio will remain
in effect through February 28, 2015, and may only be terminated by the Fund's

annualized Portfolio Expenses are less than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation

that such reimbursement will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses of a

(2) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and
advisory fee and to assume the Portfolio's expenses (excluding the expenses the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies

necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of shares of the Portfolio
to the rate listed above for such class of shares as a percentage of average
net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any

to 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

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 or losses, as appropriate,
in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent
differences as of October 31, 2013, primarily attributable to realized gains on
securities considered to be "passive foreign investment companies",
non-deductible expenses, realized foreign capital gains tax, tax-equalization,
non-deductible 90 day stock issuance cost, 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):

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.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Portfolio's
tax positions and has concluded that no 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
remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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 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 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
165
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
the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international
securities held by the Portfolios may be inhibited.
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, 2013, 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, 2013, Enhanced U.S. Large Company
Portfolio's and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio's average contract
amount of forward currency contracts was $70,028 and $14,609 (in thousands),
respectively.
**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.
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 use 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 Statements
of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these
instruments and from the possibility that the 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.

I. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, entered into a
$250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22, 2011
with The Bank of New York Mellon, which was terminated by The Bank of New York
Mellon effective March 29, 2013. Prior to termination, each portfolio was
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 did not
exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit were
charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of
borrowing. Each portfolio was individually, and not jointly, liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. There was no commitment fee on
the unused portion of the line of credit.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective March 4,
2013 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed 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 March 3,
2014.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 11, 2013 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
169
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 10, 2014.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, borrowings by the Portfolios under the

At October 31, 2013 only the DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio had
outstanding borrowings under the lines of credit of $4,016 (in thousands).
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2013, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral. In
addition, the following Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting of
short and/or long term U.S. Treasury securities (amounts in thousands):
MARKET
VALUE
--------
Large Cap International Portfolio.................. $ 19,115
International Core Equity Portfolio................ 54,401
DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio. 1,189
DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio........ 42,290
International Vector Equity Portfolio.............. 5,783
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio............. 374,335
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 Portfolio's collateral to be lower or higher than
the expected
170
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 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,
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 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting
Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01
clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose
information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that
entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on
its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as
applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements
and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities
lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other
requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or
similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
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 buyout
172
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.
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series has been named as a defendant in a
multi-district litigation pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Court"), captioned IN RE TRIBUNE COMPANY
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE LITIGATION, No. 11-MD-2296-RJS (the "Tribune MDL"). The
Tribune MDL arises from the 2007 leveraged buyout of The Tribune Company
("Tribune") (the "LBO") and Tribune's subsequent bankruptcy and
reorganization. In connection with the LBO, thousands of Tribune shareholders,
including the U.S. Large Cap Value Series, sold Tribune shares back to Tribune
for $34 per share. The Tribune MDL includes a series of lawsuits brought by
individual creditors of Tribune (the "Individual Creditor Actions") and a
lawsuit brought by a court-appointed trustee on behalf of the committee of
unsecured creditors of Tribune (the "Committee Action," and with the Individual
Creditor Actions, collectively referred to as the "Lawsuits"). The Lawsuits
seek to unwind the LBO stock repurchases as fraudulent transfers and recover
the stock repurchase proceeds paid to the Tribune shareholders who participated
in the LBO. On September 23, 2013, the Court entered an order dismissing the
Individual Creditor Actions in their entirety on the grounds that the
individual creditor plaintiffs lack standing to pursue their claims. The
Court's dismissal order is on appeal to the Second Circuit. The Committee
Action remains pending, and the Court currently is coordinating with the
parties to establish a schedule for motions to dismiss in the Committee Action.
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 the plaintiffs 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 investors
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 the 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:
On December 13, 2013, the Board of DFAIDG voted to approve the combination
of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement
(together, the "Current Agreements") into a bundled Investment Management
Agreement for each of the following five Portfolios: U.S. Small Cap Portfolio,
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, Enhanced U.S. Large
Company Portfolio, and U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio. It is expected that each
Investment Management Agreement will become effective on February 28, 2014. The
nature and level of services to the Portfolios under the Investment Management
Agreements will be the same as under the Current Agreements. When the
Investment Management Agreements become effective, each Portfolio will pay the
Advisor an investment management fee that is equal to the sum of the current
investment advisory fee and current administration fee that is paid by the
Portfolio to the Advisor under the Current Agreements.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios and has determined that there are no other subsequent events
requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as

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, 2013 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, 2013
During the fiscal year ended, October 31, 2013, commodities produced mostly
negative returns. Stepping outside this trend were the petroleum based
commodities which may have benefited from renewed Middle East concerns and
continuing pipeline and refinery hurdles. Natural gas prices experienced a
substantial decline in part likely due to lower demand and increased supply in
a market less restrained by delivery and refinery bottlenecks. Corn and wheat
prices experienced significant declines in 2013 as the U.S. emerged from the
2012 drought with early signs of bumper corn crop followed by a much improved
summer wheat harvest. As equity markets surged and evidence of lower inflation
expectations emerged, silver and gold erased nearly half the value created in a
ten year rally that ended at the beginning of the period. Industrial metals saw
modest drops on increased supply.
DFA COMMODITY STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
The DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio seeks total return consisting of
capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio generally invests in
commodity-linked derivative instruments and fixed income investments. The
Portfolio 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 and 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 generally focus investment in that longer-term area;
otherwise, the Portfolio will generally focus investment in the short-term
range of the eligible maturity range.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, the total return was -11.15% for
the Portfolio and -12.21% for the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return.
The Portfolio's outperformance came from a combination of both the flexibility
the Portfolio maintains relative to the benchmark in regards to its management
of futures contract expirations and the Portfolio's investment in fixed income
securities.
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 22 commodities found in the Dow Jones-UBS
Commodity Index Total Return whose returns for the period ranged from +10.19%
(WTI crude oil) to -38.88% (coffee).
While the Portfolio has derivative exposure to commodities, the majority of
the assets were invested in fixed income securities. The fixed income component
duration decreased slightly from 1.85 to 1.82 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 tables are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
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, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), whose shares are generally offered, without a sales
charge, to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered
investment advisors. The Fund consists of seventy-six 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
1940 Act.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 generally categorized 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.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency
contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed
from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
188
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's investments by each
major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this
note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Schedule
of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no Level 3 investments held by the Portfolio.
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, 2013, 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 and foreign currency are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend
income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The 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 the
Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or its Portfolios
are allocated using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average
net assets.
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.
189
To the extent of the Portfolio's investment through the Subsidiary, it will
be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other
instruments in which the Subsidiary invests. By investing in the Subsidiary,
the Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the
Subsidiary's investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the
Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the
Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments
if held directly by the Portfolio.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Portfolio is required
to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net
investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Portfolio in the
current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
As of October 31, 2013, the Portfolio held $140,511,030 in the Subsidiary,
representing 17.54% 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, 2013, 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 an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or 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 (including the
expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other funds managed by
the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly
through its investment in unaffiliated investment companies and excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit
the Portfolio Expenses to no more than 0.55% of the Portfolio's average net
assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time
that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to 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, 2014, and may not be
terminated by the Advisor prior to that date. At October 31, 2013, 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, 2013, approximately $345 (in thousands) of
the Subsidiary's management fees were waived pursuant to the Subsidiary fee
waiver agreement.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
In addition, the Portfolio has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of the Portfolio's custody expenses. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
During the year ended October 31, 2013, expenses reduced were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
FEES PAID
INDIRECTLY
----------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $24

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, 2013, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $250 (amount in thousands).
The total related amounts paid by the Portfolio are included in Other Expenses
on the Statement of Operations.
E. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
At October 31, 2013, 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 (amount in thousands):
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $5
F. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Portfolio made the following
purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities
(amounts in thousands):

PURCHASES SALES PURCHASES SALES
--------- -------- --------- --------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $264,251 $162,427 $455,344 $222,937
G. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision
has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net
investment income or accumulated net realized gains or losses, as appropriate,
in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent
differences as of October 31, 2013, 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, reversal of
bank income/loss from controlled foreign corporation 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

DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $1,150 $451 $(3,362) $(1,761)
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 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, 2013, the
Portfolio did not have any capital loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2013, 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):

DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. $764,977 $3,782 $(1,000) $2,782
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Portfolio's
tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio is not aware of
any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts
of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve
months. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years
remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies, the
Portfolio may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance
sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their
significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. FOREIGN MARKET RISKS: Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international
securities held by the Portfolio may be inhibited.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolio. The Portfolio may gain exposure to commodity markets by
investing up to 25% of the Portfolio's total assets in the Subsidiary. The
Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked notes, swap
agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments, including futures
contracts on individual commodities or a subset of commodities and options on
commodities. The accompanying consolidated schedule of investments includes
investments of the Portfolio and its wholly-owned Subsidiary.
192
2. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The 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 the Portfolio's currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will
be based primarily on the Portfolio's existing exposure to a given foreign
currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by
the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the
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, 2013, the 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, 2013, the Portfolio's average contract
amount of forward currency contracts was $109,168 (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 Portfolio and the Subsidiary invest
in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swap agreements, commodity
options, futures, options on futures, and structured notes. The prices of
commodity-linked derivative instruments may move in different directions than
investments in traditional equity securities, fixed income securities and
commodity spot prices.
4. SWAP AGREEMENTS: The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements with
respect to commodities, interest rates and indexes of commodities or
securities, specific securities and commodities, and mortgage, credit and
event-linked swaps, and to the extent the Portfolio may invest in foreign
currency-denominated securities, may enter into swap agreements with respect to
foreign currencies.
The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions for any legal purpose
consistent with its investment objective and policies, such as for the purpose
of attempting to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower
cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of
instruments in other markets, to seek to increase total return (speculation),
to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique,
to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio
anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets
in the most economical way possible.
A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter
between the two parties (for an uncleared swap) or, in some instances, must be
transacted through an futures commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a
clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap). Swap
agreements are 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
193
factor. In an uncleared swap, the swap counterparty is typically a brokerage
firm, bank or other financial institution. In a cleared swap, the Portfolio's
ultimate counterparty is a central clearinghouse rather than a brokerage firm,
bank or other financial institution.
An investment in a commodity swap agreement may involve the exchange of
floating-rate interest payments for the total return on a commodity index. In a
total return commodity swap, the Portfolio will receive the price appreciation
of a commodity index, a portion of the index, or a single commodity in exchange
for paying an agreed-upon fee. The Portfolio may also enter into credit default
swap agreements. The "buyer" in a credit default contract is obligated to pay
the "seller" a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract
provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation 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 uncleared swaps are two-party contracts and may have terms of
greater than seven days, these swap agreements may be considered to be
illiquid. In addition, because uncleared swaps are not traded on exchanges, 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 or receive.
Central clearing is designed to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase
liquidity compared to uncleared swaps because central clearing interposes the
central clearinghouse as the counterparty to each participant's swap, but it
does not eliminate those risks completely. Among other risks, there is a risk
of loss by the Portfolio of the initial and variation margin deposits in the
event of bankruptcy of the FCM with which the Portfolio has an open position in
a swap contract.
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.
Payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker, will be made
daily as the currency, financial instrument or index underlying the futures
contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures
194
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 potentially subjecting the Portfolio to substantial losses.
In such event, and in the event of adverse price movements, the Portfolio would
be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. Losses incurred in
futures transactions and the costs of these transactions will affect the
Portfolio's performance.
The price volatility of commodity futures contracts has been historically
greater than that for traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds, and
there are a variety of factors associated with commodity futures contracts
which may subject the Portfolio's investments in the contracts to greater
volatility than investments in traditional securities.
6. Options on Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and write put
and call options on foreign currency, interest rate and stock and commodity
index futures contracts and may enter into closing transactions with respect to
such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee that such
closing transactions can be effected; the ability to establish and close out
positions on such options will be subject to the existence of a liquid market.
An option on a currency, interest rate or commodity or securities index
futures contract, as contrasted with the direct investment in such a contract,
gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior
to the expiration date of the option. The writer of the option is required upon
exercise to assume an offsetting futures position (a short position if the
option is a call and a long position if the option is a put). Upon exercise of
an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to
the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated
balance in the writer's futures margin account, which represents the amount by
which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call,
or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the
futures contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on a
futures contract is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus
transaction costs). The value of the option changes daily, and that change
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, entered into a
$250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22, 2011
with The Bank of New York Mellon, which was terminated by The Bank of New York
Mellon effective March 29, 2013. Prior to termination, each portfolio was
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 did not
exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit were
charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of
borrowing. Each portfolio was individually, and not jointly, liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. There was no commitment fee on
the unused portion of the line of credit.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective March 4,
2013 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed 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 March 3,
2014.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 11, 2013 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 10, 2014.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2013.
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 January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting
Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01
clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose
information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that
entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on
its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as
applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements
and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities
lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other
198
requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or
similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Management is evaluating any impact ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the financial
statements.
L. OTHER:
At October 31, 2013, three shareholders held 87% of 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.
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, 2013, the results of
their operations for the year then ended, the changes in 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 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, 2013 by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

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.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Master
Fund held approximately 520 securities in 22 eligible developed countries. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2013, total returns were 27.61% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 27.90% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and 24.65% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Master
Fund focuses on value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, while the Index is
neutral with regard to value or growth. As large cap value stocks generally
outperformed large cap growth stocks during the period, the Master Fund's
significantly greater exposure than the Index to these securities contributed
to the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the Index. In particular, the
Master Fund's greater exposure to value stocks in the financial sector was
beneficial as these names generally outperformed the Index. The Master Fund's
exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also benefited the
Portfolio's performance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during
the period. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Master Fund and the Index generally detracted from the Portfolio's performance
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.
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
The one-year period ended October 31, 2013, was characterized by strong
gains in U.S. equities. The broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the
Russell 3000(R) Index, had positive returns in 10 of the 12 months.
The size premium was positive during the period with small cap stocks
outperforming large cap stocks as measured by the Russell indices. Micro cap
stocks were the strongest performers.

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 book value, earnings, or dividends.
For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2013, were primarily attributable 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, small cap, and/or micro cap companies relative to
widely used benchmarks.
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. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, the total return was 27.10% for
the Portfolio and 27.18% 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.
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

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.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling
collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors
LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the
SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or they may be reviewed and copied at the
SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC requires that all funds present their categories of portfolio
holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with such requirement.
The categories of industry classification for the Affiliated Investment
Company are represented in its Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings, which is
included elsewhere within the report. Refer to the Summary Schedule of

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, 2013, the Feeder
Fund 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 Feeder Fund.
On March 1, 2010, the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group
Inc. and the Fund 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 the Fund 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:

----------- ---------- -------------------------------- ----------- --------------
U.S. Large Company
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. 83,482,168 Institutional Index Portfolio 311,973,980 $2,731,987
The net assets, including net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the
Target Fund, immediately before the acquisition were as follows (in thousands):

U.S. Large Company
U.S. Large 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 Investment 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.
218
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.
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)
The Feeder Fund's investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net
assets of the Series. This valuation is classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
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 the Portfolio that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the
Nasdaq Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sale price
or NOCP for the day, the Portfolio values the securities 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 this
note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the
219
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.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no Level 3 investments held by the Portfolios.
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, 2013, 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 gains 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. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are
directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or Portfolios are allocated using
methods approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, generally based on average
net assets.
Class 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 shareholders and the Board, and other administrative
services. The Advisor provides investment advisory services to the U.S. Large
Company Portfolio 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, 2013, 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%
* The administrative services fee has been adjusted to reflect the actual fee
paid by the Portfolio for the year ended October 31, 2013 as a result of a
decrease in the administrative services fee from 0.05% to 0.035% effective
August 1, 2013.
220
For the year ended October 31, 2013, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio's
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:
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. 0.025%
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or 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
Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption Agreements for the
DFA International Value Portfolio and the U.S. Large Company Portfolio will
remain in effect through February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2015, respectively,
and shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by
the Fund or the Advisor. For the year ended October 31, 2013, 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.

----------------- ------------- -----------------
DFA International Value Portfolio -- Class R2 Shares (1). 0.79% -- --
U.S. Large Company Portfolio (2)......................... 0.08% $123 $519
(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to assume the direct expenses of
the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (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) of the Class R2 shares of the
Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an
annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
annualized expenses of the Class R2 shares 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 expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as
listed above.
(2) Effective August 1, 2013, 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") of the Portfolio so that the Portfolio Expenses, on an
annualized basis, do not exceed the rate listed above as a percentage of the
Portfolio's average net assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time
that the annualized 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 the amount of such recovery will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation
Amount, as listed above.
Prior to August 1, 2013, the Advisor 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") of the Portfolio so that such Portfolio Expenses did not exceed
0.10% of the Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized basis (the
"Previous Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses
of the Portfolio were less than the Previous Expense Limitation Amount, the
Advisor retained the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or
expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery did not cause the
Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Previous Expense
Limitation Amount.
221
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, 2013, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $30 (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, 2013, 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 International Value Portfolio. $180
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 240
E. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2013, 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 SALES
--------- --------
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. $133,472 $289,064
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 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 losses, or unrealized
appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of October 31, 2013,
primarily attributable to net foreign currency gains/losses, foreign capital
gains tax reclass 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):

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, 2013, the
Portfolios had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts
in thousands):

federal income tax purposes (amount in thousands):
DFA International Value Portfolio. $295,092
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 166,609
At October 31, 2013, 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):

U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 2,991,240 2,062,991 2,062,991
223
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.
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 positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in the Portfolios' financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware
of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next
twelve months. The Portfolios' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal
years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

On October 29, 2010, the Board of Directors/Trustees adopted a Plan of
Recapitalization of the Feeder Fund'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 the Feeder Fund'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 R2 Shares.
H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with U.S. Large Company Portfolio's investment objective and
policies, the Portfolio may invest in certain financial instruments that have
off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial
statements and concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and
their significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. 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.
224
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios may enter into futures contracts to
gain market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Subsequent payments are received from or
paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value
of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and
are recorded daily by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses until the
contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolios record a
realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as a
net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value
of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
closed.
Risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these
instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolios could lose more than
the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Portfolios 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, 2013, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio had outstanding
futures contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

I. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, entered into a
$250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22, 2011
with The Bank of New York Mellon, which was terminated by The Bank of New York
Mellon effective March 29, 2013. Prior to termination, each portfolio was
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 did not
exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit were
charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of
borrowing. Each portfolio was individually, and not jointly, liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. There was no commitment fee on
the unused portion of the line of credit.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective March 4,
2013 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed 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 March 3,
2014.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 11, 2013 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 10, 2014.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, borrowings by the Portfolios under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):

of credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Portfolios under the lines of
credit as of October 31, 2013.
226
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2013, U.S. Large Company Portfolio had securities on loan
to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. The
Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a
liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities
are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by
collateral 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 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 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's 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting
Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01
clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose
information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that
entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on
its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as
applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements
and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities
lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other
requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or
similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Management is evaluating any impact ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the financial
statements.
227
N. OTHER:
At October 31, 2013, the following number of shareholders held the following

O. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
On December 13, 2013, the Board of DIG voted to approve the combination of
the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement (together,
the "Current Agreements") into a bundled Investment Management Agreement for
the U.S. Large Company Portfolio. It is expected that the Investment Management
Agreement will become effective on February 28, 2014. The nature and level of
services to the Portfolio under the Investment Management Agreement will be the
same as under the Current Agreements. When the Investment Management Agreement
becomes effective, the Portfolio will pay the Advisor an investment management
fee that is equal to the sum of the current investment advisory fee and current
administration fee that is paid by the Portfolio to the Advisor under the
Current Agreements.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios and has determined that there are no other 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, 2013, 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 five years in the period then ended, 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, 2013 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers, and the transfer agents of the
investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Russell 3000(R) Index, had positive returns in 10 of the 12 months.
The size premium was positive during the period with small cap stocks
outperforming large cap stocks as measured by the Russell indices. Micro cap
stocks were the strongest performers.

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 book value, earnings, or dividends.
For many Dimensional U.S. equity portfolios, differences in returns over the
12 months ended October 31, 2013, were primarily attributable 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, small cap and/or 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. As of
October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately 220 securities. In general,
cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 35.68% for the
Series and 28.29% 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. The Series had significantly greater exposure
than the Index to deeper value stocks, measured by book-to-market ratios. These
stocks generally outperformed relative to the Index, and the Series' higher
weight contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to the Index. The
Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and highly
regulated utilities also contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to
the Index as both sectors underperformed the overall Index during the period.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
The one-year period ended October 31, 2013, was characterized by generally

measured by the MSCI indices below for developed markets outside the U.S.,
small cap stocks generally outperformed large cap stocks while value stocks
outperformed growth stocks.

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.
As of October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately 520 securities in 22
eligible developed countries. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the
year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ending October 31, 2013, total returns were 28.18% for the
Series and 24.65% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). The Series
focuses on value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, while the Index is
neutral with regard to value or growth. As large cap value stocks generally
outperformed large cap growth stocks during the period, the Series'
significantly greater exposure than the Index to these securities contributed
to the Series' outperformance relative to the Index. In particular, the Series'
greater exposure to value stocks in the financial sector was beneficial as
these names outperformed. The Series' exclusion of real estate investment
trusts ("REITs") also benefited the Series' relative performance as REITs
underperformed during the period. Differences in the valuation timing and
methodology between the Series and the Index generally detracted from 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. As of October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately
1,400 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 30.62% for the
Series and 30.99% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). The
Series' lesser exposure than the Index to GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc., an
online gaming company that significantly outperformed, was primarily
responsible for the Series' relative underperformance. To a lesser extent, the
Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") contributed
positively to the Series' relative performance as REITs underperformed during
the period.
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
237
diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately 940
securities across the eligible countries. Country allocations generally reflect
the approximate weights of individual securities within a universe of these
countries' stocks constructed by the Advisor. In general, cash exposure was low
throughout the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series'
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 10.97% for the
Series and 6.83% 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. The Series'
greater weight in the consumer discretionary sector and lesser weight in the
materials sector contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to the
Index as consumer discretionary outperformed and materials underperformed. The
Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also had a small
positive impact on the Series' relative performance as REITs underperformed
during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately
350 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year, with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 37.42% for the
Series and 35.72% 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 had a lesser allocation
to the energy sector, which contributed to the Series' outperformance relative
to the Index as energy significantly underperformed. The Series' exclusion of
real estate investment trusts ("REITs") also contributed to the Series'
outperformance relative to the Index as REITs underperformed during the period.
To a lesser extent, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between
the Series and the Index generally detracted from the Series' 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 CONTINENTAL SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Continental Small Company Series seeks to capture the returns of small
company stocks in the 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. As of October 31, 2013, the
Series held approximately 1,200 securities in 14 eligible 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, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 43.67% for the
Series and 42.99% 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' exclusion of real estate investment
trusts ("REITs") contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to the
Index, as REITs underperformed during the period. To a lesser extent,
differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the Series and the
Index generally detracted from the Series' 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.
238
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Series held approximately
390 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 5.71% for the
Series and -0.09% 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' holdings in the materials sector significantly outperformed
those of the Index and contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to
the Index. The Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts ("REITs")
also contributed to the Series' outperformance relative to the Index as REITs
underperformed during the period.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Series
held approximately 1,000 securities across 21 eligible emerging markets. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 6.99% for the
Series and 6.53% 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 country weights between the Series
and the Index contributed to relative performance differences. In addition,
differences in holdings within the financial sector contributed to the Series'
relative outperformance.
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. As of October 31, 2013, the Series
held approximately 3,100 securities across 17 eligible emerging markets. In
general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash balance
of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 9.41% for the
Series and 6.53% 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 large cap and mid-cap stocks. Emerging markets small cap
stocks generally outperformed emerging markets large caps over the period. The
Series' significantly greater exposure to small cap stocks was primarily
responsible for the Series' outperformance relative to the Index.

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.

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 eleven portfolios, nine of which are included in this section
of the report (collectively, the "Series"). The remaining operational
portfolios are presented in separate reports.

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 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 Series' own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
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 the 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.
287
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 the
International Equity Portfolios may differ from the quoted or published prices
for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities
are generally categorized as Level 2 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 International Equity Portfolios 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 this note.
Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary
Schedules 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.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Series recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As
of October 31, 2013, The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small
Cap Series had significant transfers of securities with a total value of
$306,665 and $469,527 (in thousands), respectively, that transferred from Level
1 to Level 2. At October 31, 2013, the fair market values of certain securities
were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close
of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the
NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification.
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 recent bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by
generally recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain
expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their
respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies are marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and
exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The International Equity Portfolios do not isolate the effect of
fluctuations in foreign currency rates when determining the realized gain or
loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations
288
pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized
as foreign exchange gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios and 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; 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, 2013, 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 and foreign currency are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend
income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Series estimate the character of distributions
received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest
income is recorded on 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 Equity Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by
countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers
existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on
income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such
investments. The Series accrue such taxes when the related income or capital
gains are earned or throughout the holding period. Some countries require
governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the
proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a
deterioration in a country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a
country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The Emerging Markets Series and The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series are
subject to a 15% tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such
taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The capital gains taxes are
recognized when the capital gains are earned.
289
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment advisory
services to the Trust. For the year ended October 31, 2013, 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%

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, 2013, 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, 2013, the total
related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $56 (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, 2013, 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):

E. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2013, 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... 1,300,754 398,830
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, 2013, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in
thousands):
NET

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 4,120,776 867,716 (438,130) 429,586
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.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Series' tax
positions and has concluded that no 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.
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
291
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 MARKET RISKS: Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international
securities held by the Series may be inhibited.
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 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 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, 2013 (amounts in
thousands):

292
H. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, entered into
a $250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22, 2011
with The Bank of New York Mellon, which was terminated by The Bank of New York
Mellon effective March 29, 2013. Prior to termination, each portfolio was
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 did not
exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit were
charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of
borrowing. Each portfolio was individually, and not jointly, liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. There was no commitment fee on
the unused portion of the line of credit.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective March 4,
2013 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed 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 March 3,
2014.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 11, 2013 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 10, 2014.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, borrowings by the Series under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):

* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2013, that each Series' available line of
credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Series under the lines of credit
as of October 31, 2013.
293
I. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2013, each Series had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Series received cash collateral. In
addition, the following Series received non-cash collateral consisting of short
and/or long term U.S. Treasury securities (amounts in thousands):
MARKET VALUE
------------
The DFA International Value Series.... $ 29,499
The Continental Small Company Series.. 447
The Canadian Small Company Series..... 55,991
The Emerging Markets Series........... 111,222
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series. 102,610
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 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 January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting
Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01
clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose
information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that
entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on
its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies
294
the scope of ASU 2011-11 as applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance
with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded
derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and
securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset either
in accordance with other requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable
master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods
within those annual periods. 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 buyout 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 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.

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, 2013, 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 five years in the period then ended,
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, 2013 by correspondence with the custodians,
brokers, and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2013
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, 2013, returns in U.S. dollars were
6.53% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends) versus 24.65% for the
MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As measured by the MSCI emerging
markets indices, small cap stocks outperformed large cap stocks while growth
stocks outperformed value stocks.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
The Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund seeks to capture the returns of
value stocks of large and small companies in selected emerging markets. Value
is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2013, the
Fund held approximately 2,200 securities across 19 eligible emerging markets.
In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an average cash
balance of less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, total returns were 8.43% for the
Fund and 6.53% 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 invests in stocks across all
size categories while the Index primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks.
Emerging markets small cap stocks generally outperformed emerging markets large
cap stocks during the period. The Fund's greater exposure to small cap stocks
was primarily responsible for the Fund's outperformance relative to the Index.
The Fund's greater exposure to value stocks, as measured by book-to-market, was
also beneficial as these stocks generally outperformed the Index.

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

The SEC requires that all funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with
the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q. For the
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 27, 2013. 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.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling
collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors

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

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, the Fund, 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 the Fund is a result of the
treatment of a partnership for book purposes. The Fund will maintain its books
and records and present its financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment partnerships.
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 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
309
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 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
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 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 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 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.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A
valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule
of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in
those securities.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of
October 31, 2013, the Fund had significant transfers of securities with a total
value of $1,222,930 (in thousands) that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. At
October 31, 2013, the fair market value of certain securities were adjusted due
to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign
markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which
resulted in their Level 2 classification.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and
liabilities of the Fund whose values are initially expressed in foreign
currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most
recent bid and asked prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally
recognized reliable sources. Dividend and interest income and certain expenses
are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange on their respective
accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are
marked-to-market daily based on daily exchange rates and exchange gains or
losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.
The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities
whether realized or unrealized.
Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Fund
and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible 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
310
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, 2013, 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
$369 (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; 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, 2013, 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 and foreign currency are on the basis of identified cost. Dividend
income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or
capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments or as a
realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of distributions
received that may be considered return of capital distributions. Interest
income is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to the
Fund are directly charged.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests,
with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such
countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and
capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such
taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned or throughout the
holding period. Some countries require governmental approval for the
repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by
foreign investors. 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% tax on short-term capital gains for investments
in India. Such taxes are due upon sale of individual securities. The capital
gains taxes 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, 2013, the Fund's
investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
In addition, the Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian
whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of the Fund's custody expense. Custody expense in the accompanying
financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. During the year
ended October 31, 2013, expenses reduced were $111 (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"))
311
receive no compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the
total related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $27 (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, 2013, 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 SALES
---------- ----------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. $2,746,457 $1,070,905
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, 2013, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes (amounts in
thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION DEPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)
----------- ------------ ------------ --------------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. $20,422,709 $3,294,843 $(2,932,568) $362,275
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.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold
for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax
positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax
positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject
to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities
312
markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and more volatile
than the major securities markets in the United States of America.
Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities held by the Fund may be
inhibited.
G. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, entered into a
$250 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective June 22, 2011
with The Bank of New York Mellon, which was terminated by The Bank of New York
Mellon effective March 29, 2013. Prior to termination, each portfolio was
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 did not
exceed $250 million in the aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit were
charged interest at rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of
borrowing. Each portfolio was individually, and not jointly, liable for its
particular advances under the line of credit. There was no commitment fee on
the unused portion of the line of credit.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million unsecured discretionary line of credit effective March 4,
2013 with its domestic custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow,
subject to its investment limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long
as total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed $500 million in the
aggregate. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates
agreed 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 March 3,
2014.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit effective
January 11, 2013 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 10, 2014.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, borrowings by the Fund under the lines
of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):
WEIGHTED WEIGHTED NUMBER OF INTEREST MAXIMUM AMOUNT
AVERAGE AVERAGE LOAN DAYS EXPENSE BORROWED DURING
INTEREST RATE BALANCE OUTSTANDING* INCURRED THE PERIOD
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. 0.86% $36,348 19 $17 $86,942
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2013, that the Fund's available line of
credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Fund under the lines of credit
as of October 31, 2013.
H. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2013, 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 $284,247 (in thousands). The Fund invests the
cash collateral, as described below, and records a liability for the return of
the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Loans of
securities are expected at all times to be secured by collateral 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
313
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 January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01") which amended Accounting
Standards Codification Subtopic 210-20, Balance Sheet Offsetting. ASU 2013-01
clarified the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and
Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose
information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of that
entity's financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on
its financial position. ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 as
applying to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements
and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities
lending transactions that are offset either in accordance with other
requirements of GAAP or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or
similar agreement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Management is evaluating any impact ASU No. 2011-11 may have on the financial
statements.
K. 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.

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, 2013, 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 five years in the period then ended, 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, 2013 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 three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating
Committee, and an Investment 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, 2013.
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. There was one Nominating Committee meeting
held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.
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, 2013.
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

(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,
together with appropriate supporting materials.
2. In connection with the approval of any non-audit service pursuant to
the de minimis exception provided in the Rules, a record shall be
made indicating that each of the conditions for this exception, as
set forth in the Rules, has been satisfied.
3. A copy of these Procedures (and of any amendments to these
Procedures) shall be maintained and preserved permanently in an
easily accessible place. The written records referred to in
paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Section F shall be maintained and
preserved for six years from the end of the fiscal year in which the
actions recorded were taken, for at least the first two years in an
easily accessible location.
(e)(2) The fees disclosed in Items 4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) were approved by the
Registrant's Audit Committee but not pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C)
of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant's
engagement to audit the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 2013 that were attributed to work performed by
persons other than the principal accountant's full time, permanent
employees was not greater than 50%.
(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2013: $2,035,239
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2012: $1,736,797
(h) The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant's investment
adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to
the Registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining
the principal accountant's independence.
