U.S. equities had strong gains during the period. The broad U.S. equity
market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, had positive returns in 9 of
the 12 months. As measured by the Russell indices, large cap stocks
outperformed small cap stocks.

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
period 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,
2014, 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.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, the total returns were 17.18% for
the Portfolio and 17.27% 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 net return of the fixed income component
was slightly less than
19
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 is designed to capture the returns of
U.S. large company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held
approximately 920 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, 2014, total returns were 16.19% for the
Portfolio and 16.78% for the Russell 1000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio emphasizes mid-cap stocks, value
stocks, primarily measured by book-to-market ratio and stocks with high
profitability. Stocks with smaller relative capitalization and value stocks
generally underperformed during the period and contributed to underperformance
in the Portfolio relative to the Index. The Portfolio's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from relative performance as REITs
outperformed during the period.
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the Master Fund held
approximately 260 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, 2014, total returns were 15.49% for the
Portfolio and 16.46% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund excludes real estate investment
trusts (REITs) and highly regulated utilities from eligibility while the Index
holds stocks in these sectors. REITs and utilities generally outperformed other
sectors during the period, which detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance as compared to the Index. Lower book to market stocks outperformed
higher book to market stocks within the index. The Master Fund had less weight
than the index in lower book to market stocks, which detracted from relative
performance.
U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio
The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S. small
and mid-capitalization value stocks. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately
1,540 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, 2014, total returns were 9.47% for the
Portfolio's Class R1 shares, 9.30% for the Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 9.58%
for the Portfolio's Institutional Class shares, and 7.89% for the Russell
2000(R) Value Index. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in the U.S.
equity market, rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Mid-cap
value stocks significantly outperformed small cap value stocks during the
period. The Portfolio had a greater weight than the Index in mid-cap value
stocks and less weight in small cap value stocks, and these differences were
the primary driver of the Portfolio's relative outperformance.
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of
U.S. small company value stocks. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market
ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately 1,270
securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout the year with an
average cash balance of less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
20
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 9.49% for the
Portfolio and 7.89% for the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio had a greater allocation to larger
small cap stocks than the Index, and the outperformance of these stocks was a
contributor to the Portfolio's relative outperformance.
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
securities within the U.S. market with increased exposure to smaller company
stocks and value stocks relative to the market. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately
2,850 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, 2014, total returns were 14.72% for the
Portfolio and 16.07% for the Russell 3000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio had a greater allocation than the
Index to small cap stocks and less weight in large cap stocks, which
contributed to the Portfolio's relative underperformance as small cap stocks
strongly underperformed large cap stocks during the period. The Portfolio's
exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) also detracted from the
Portfolio's relative performance as REITs outperformed most other sectors
during the period.
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio
The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
securities within the U.S. market with increased exposure to smaller company
stocks and value stocks relative to the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio and the
market. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately 2,860 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, 2014, total returns were 13.78% for the
Portfolio and 16.07% for the Russell 3000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio had a greater allocation than the
Index to small cap stocks and less weight in large cap stocks, which
contributed to the Portfolio's relative underperformance as small cap stocks
strongly underperformed large cap stocks during the period. The portfolio
generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), and the resulting
lower relative weighting in these companies detracted as REITs outperformed
other U.S. stocks during the period.
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio
The U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. stocks with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and value stocks
relative to the market. Value is measured primarily by book-to-market ratio.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately 2,720 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, 2014, total returns were 11.91% for the
Portfolio and 16.07% for the Russell 3000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio had a greater allocation than the
Index to small cap stocks and less weight in large cap stocks, which
contributed to the Portfolio's relative underperformance as small cap stocks
strongly underperformed large cap stocks during the period. The portfolio
generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), and the resulting
lower relative weighting in these companies detracted as REITs outperformed
other U.S. stocks during the period.
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Small Cap Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of U.S.
small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held
21
approximately 2,110 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, 2014, total returns were 8.67% for the
Portfolio and 8.06% for the Russell 2000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.S. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio excluded certain stocks with low
profitability that were held by the Index. The resulting higher weight in
stocks with higher profitability contributed to the Portfolio's relative
outperformance.
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,750 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, 2014, total returns were 7.88% for the
Portfolio and 8.06% for the Russell 2000(R) Index. As a result of the
Portfolio's diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad 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 a broader range of small cap stocks including those
with the larger relative capitalization. Micro cap stocks generally
underperformed companies with larger capitalization within the small cap
universe during the period, which detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs)
also detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance as REITs outperformed
most other sectors during the period.
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio
The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. real estate securities. As of
October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately 130 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, 2014, total returns were 19.80% for the
Portfolio, 20.69% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index /SM/, and 17.27% for
the S&P 500(R) Index. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in the U.S.
real estate securities market rather than the behavior of a limited number of
securities. The Portfolio held net lease REITs not eligible in the Dow Jones
U.S. Select REIT Index /SM/. These securities -- particularly in specialized
REITs, retail REITs and diversified REITs -- generally underperformed the
overall Index and were a primary driver of the Portfolio's relative
underperformance.
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was generally negative for the
period. As a group, only large cap growth stocks had positive returns. As
measured by the MSCI world ex USA indices, large cap stocks outperformed small
cap stocks, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks.

Global Real Estate Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
Publicly traded global real estate investment trusts (REITs) produced
positive overall returns during the period. In most of the world, REITs
outperformed equities and fixed income. The U.S. REIT market, the world's
largest, had the highest returns, followed closely by Hong Kong and the U.K.
Only a few of the smallest REIT markets failed to deliver positive returns. As
measured by the S&P Global REIT Index, residential REITs and hotel and resort
REITs had the biggest gains. Diversified REITs had the weakest performance 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, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were 0.47% for the
Portfolio and -0.15% 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 trends in the international equity markets
rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. For the period, the
Portfolio's relative outperformance was primarily attributable to differences
in the valuation timing and methodology between the Portfolio and the Index.
The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets
while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio also may use fair
value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
International Core Equity Portfolio
The International Core Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of international stocks, with increased exposure to smaller company
stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market
ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held approximately 4,800
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, 2014, total returns were -0.55% for the
Portfolio and -0.15% 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 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
underperformed international large cap and mid-cap stocks during the period,
and the Portfolio's exposure to small cap stocks detracted from the Portfolio's
performance relative to the Index. The Portfolio's greater exposure than the
Index to value stocks also detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance
as value stocks generally underperformed during the period. In particular, the
Portfolio's emphasis on value stocks resulted in a lower allocation to
healthcare stocks, which was the best performing sector and detracted from the
Portfolio's relative performance.
International Small Company Portfolio
The International Small Company Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the Master Funds collectively held
approximately 4,150 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.
24
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were -1.09% for the
Portfolio and -2.14% 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 trends in
international equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Master Funds excluded a number of growth-oriented small cap stocks
with low profitability that were held by the Index. These stocks generally
underperformed, contributing to the Portfolio's relative outperformance. This
was partially offset by the Master Funds' exclusion of real estate investment
trusts (REITs) which outperformed and detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Master Funds and the Index also generally contributed to the Portfolio's
relative performance. The Master Funds price foreign exchange rates at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The
Master Funds also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio
securities at the closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market
closing prices.
Japanese Small Company Portfolio
The Japanese Small Company Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were 2.00% for the
Portfolio and -0.24% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad trends in the Japanese equity market, rather
than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund's greater
exposure than the Index to micro cap stocks contributed to relative
outperformance as micro caps generally outperformed during the period. This was
partially offset by the Master Fund's exclusion of real estate investment
trusts (REITs), which outperformed and detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Master Fund and the Index also benefited 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.
Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio
The Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the Master Fund held
approximately 880 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, 2014, total returns were -3.84% for the
Portfolio and -4.93% 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 trends in Asia Pacific equity
markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master
Fund's exclusion of growth-oriented small cap stocks with low profitability
contributed to relative performance as these stocks generally underperformed.
This was partially offset by the Master Fund's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts (REITs), which outperformed and detracted from the Master
Fund's relative performance. In addition, differences in the valuation timing
and methodology between the Master Fund and the Index benefited 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.
25
United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio
The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the Master Fund held approximately 320 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, 2014, total returns were 0.73% for the
Portfolio and -0.49% 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 trends in the U.K. equity market, rather than
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund excludes a number
of growth-oriented small cap stocks with low profitability that were held by
the Index. These stocks generally underperformed, contributing to the
Portfolio's relative outperformance.
Continental Small Company Portfolio
The Continental Small Company Portfolio is designed 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, 2014, the Master
Fund held approximately 1,180 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, 2014, total returns were -2.68% for the
Portfolio and -3.31% 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 trends in the continental European
(excluding the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets, rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. For the period, the Portfolio's relative
outperformance was primarily attributable to differences in the valuation
timing and methodology between the Master Fund and the Index. The Master Fund
prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S. markets while the
Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Master Fund also may use fair value
pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the closing of the U.S.
markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
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, 2014, the Portfolio held
approximately 240 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, 2014, total returns were 8.21% for the
Portfolio and 6.81% 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 broad trends in international real estate securities markets
rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. Withholding tax rate
differences between the Portfolio and the Index contributed to the Portfolio's
relative outperformance. The Portfolio excludes certain securities from
eligibility that the Index holds, such as initial public offerings and
companies with a limited operating history. These securities generally
underperformed and the exclusion of these securities by the Portfolio had a
beneficial impact on the relative performance in the Portfolio.
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, 2014,
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 370
securities in
26
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.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 14.98% for the
Portfolio and 13.30% for the S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Portfolio's diversified approach, performance was principally determined
by broad trends in global real estate securities markets rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. Withholding tax rate differences
between the Portfolio and the Index were a primary driver of the Portfolio's
relative outperformance. The Portfolio excludes certain securities from
eligibility that the Index holds, such as initial public offerings and
companies with a limited operating history. These securities generally
underperformed and the exclusion of these securities by the Portfolio had a
beneficial impact on the relative performance in the Portfolio.
DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio
The DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of international small 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, 2014, the Portfolio held
approximately 2,160 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, 2014, total returns were 0.13% for the
Portfolio and -2.14% 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 trends in international equity markets rather
than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio held a number of
companies within the United Kingdom that were not in the Index due to
differences in construction methodology. These companies outperformed,
contributing to the Portfolio's relative outperformance. Within the small cap
universe, the Portfolio's greater exposure to stocks with smaller
capitalization within small cap universe also contributed to the Portfolio's
relative outperformance as these stocks generally outperformed during the
period. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Portfolio and the Index also generally contributed to the Portfolio's relative
outperformance. The Portfolio prices foreign exchange rates at the closing of
the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Portfolio
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
International Vector Equity Portfolio
The International Vector Equity Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks with increased exposure
to smaller company stocks and those with value characteristics as measured by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were -1.05% for the
Portfolio and -0.15% 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 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, other than growth-oriented mega
cap securities, while the Index primarily holds large cap and mid-cap stocks.
International small cap stocks generally underperformed international large cap
and mid-cap stocks during the period, and the Portfolio's exposure to small cap
stocks contributed to underperformance relative to the Index. The Portfolio's
greater exposure than the Index to value stocks, particularly those in Canada,
also detracted from relative performance as value stocks generally
underperformed during the period.
World ex U.S. Value Portfolio
The World ex U.S. Value Portfolio is designed 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
27
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, 2014, the
Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 4,800 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, 2014, total returns were -0.81% for the
Portfolio and 0.06% 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 trends in the
international and emerging equity markets rather than the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. Underlying Funds, had greater exposure than the Index to
value stocks. Value stocks, as measured by book-to-market ratios, generally
underperformed during the period, which detracted from the Portfolio's relative
performance. 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 underperformed large and mid-caps during the period, and the
Portfolio's greater exposure to small caps detracted from the Portfolio's
relative performance. The Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment
trusts (REITs) also detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance as
REITs outperformed during the period.
World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio
The World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of small and mid-cap value stocks in international developed and
emerging markets. The Portfolio may pursue its objective by holding direct
securities, by purchasing shares of 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"), or by a combination of
securities and Underlying Funds. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, the
Portfolio only held Underlying Funds. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Underlying Funds
collectively held approximately 8,300 securities. In general, cash exposure was
low throughout the period with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 0.06% for the
Portfolio and -0.97% 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 trends in the international
equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Underlying Funds' greater exposure than the Index to mid-cap stocks and value
stocks, particularly in the United Kingdom, contributed to the Portfolio's
relative outperformance. Due to differences in methodology, the two emerging
markets Underlying Funds had a greater exposure than the Index to India, the
highest-performing eligible market during the period, which contributed to
relative performance.
World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio
The World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broadly diversified basket of international stocks in developed and
emerging markets, with increased exposure to smaller company stocks and those
with value characteristics as measured by book-to-market ratio. The Portfolio
may pursue its objective by holding direct securities, by purchasing shares of
funds managed by Dimensional: The International Core Equity Portfolio and the
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the "Underlying Funds"), or a
combination of securities and Underlying Funds. For the 12 months ended
October 31, 2014, the Portfolio only held Underlying Funds. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2014, the Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 8,800
securities in 43 eligible developed and emerging markets. In general, cash
exposure was low throughout the period with an average cash balance of less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were -0.04% for the
Portfolio and 0.06% 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 trends in the
international equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Underlying Funds invest across all size categories while the Index
primarily holds large and mid-cap stocks. Small cap stocks generally
underperformed during the period, and the Underlying Funds' exposure to small
cap stocks, particularly in Canada, contributed to the Portfolio's relative
underperformance. The Underlying Funds' greater exposure than the Index to
value stocks, as measured by book-to-market ratios also detracted from the
Portfolio's relative performance as value stocks underperformed during the
period.
28
World Core Equity Portfolio
The World Core Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation generally
by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional Fund
Advisors LP ("Dimensional" or the "Advisor"). As of October 31, 2014, the
Portfolio's investments include the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, International
Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
(collectively, the "Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the
Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 11,700 equity securities in 44
countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 8.36% for the
Portfolio and 7.77% 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 trends in global equity markets rather than
the behavior of a limited group of stocks. The Underlying Funds had greater
exposure than the Index to U.S. stocks, which was the primary contributor to
relative outperformance as the U.S. was among the best-performing world markets
during the period. The Underlying Funds had less exposure than the Index to
emerging markets, which benefited relative performance as emerging markets
generally 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 October 31, 2014, the mutual funds invested in by the
Portfolio include the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, International Core Equity
Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (the "Underlying Funds").
The Portfolio hedges foreign currency exposure on a selective basis to capture
positive forward currency premiums. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Underlying Funds
collectively held approximately 11,700 equity securities in 44 countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 7.83% for the
Portfolio and 7.77% 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 trends in global equity markets rather than
the behavior of a limited group of stocks in a particular industry or country.
The Portfolio's currency hedging in Japanese yen, euro, Swiss franc, and Danish
krone benefited the Portfolio's performance relative to the Index. This was
somewhat offset by the Portfolio's greater exposure than the Index to small cap
stocks and emerging markets, which underperformed during the period and
detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance.
Emerging Markets Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of large
cap stocks in selected emerging markets countries by purchasing shares of The
Emerging Markets Series, a Master Fund managed by Dimensional that invests in
such securities. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Master Fund held approximately
1,100 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, 2014, total returns were 1.33% for the
Portfolio and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's relative performance benefited from
the Master Fund's lower weight than the Index in Russia, among the lowest
performing emerging markets during the period, and higher weight in India and
Taiwan, among the best performing emerging markets during the period. The
Master Fund excludes certain countries from eligibility that the Index holds,
such as the UAE and Qatar. Both of these countries underperformed, and their
exclusion contributed to the Portfolio's relative outperformance.
Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio is designed 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 managed by Dimensional
that invests in such securities. The Master Fund's investment strategy is
process driven,
29
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Master Fund held
approximately 3,200 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, 2014, total returns were 5.12% for the
Portfolio and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Master Fund's diversified approach, performance was principally
determined by broad 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 outperformed emerging markets large caps over the period, and the Master
Fund's greater exposure to small cap stocks, particularly those in India,
contributed to relative outperformance. During the year ended October 31, 2014,
the Master Fund did not invest in certain countries that the Index holds, such
as the UAE, Qatar, and Russia. Russia underperformed significantly and, as it
was excluded from the Master Fund, contributed to the Portfolio's relative
performance.
Emerging Markets Value Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Value Portfolio is designed 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, a Master Fund
managed by Dimensional 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, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were -1.75% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, -1.51% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and 0.64% 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 trends in emerging markets rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund invests primarily in
value stocks, as measured by book-to-market ratios, while the Index is neutral
with regard to value stocks. Emerging markets value stocks generally
underperformed during the period, which was the primary driver of the
Portfolio's relative underperformance.
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
The Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broad universe of stocks in selected emerging markets with increased
exposure to smaller company stocks and those stocks with value characteristics,
as measured by book-to-market. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held
approximately 4,000 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 Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were 1.89% for the
Portfolio and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Portfolio's diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Portfolio invests in stocks across all size
categories while the Index primarily holds large and mid-cap stocks. Emerging
markets small cap stocks generally outperformed emerging markets large cap
stocks during the period. The Portfolio's greater exposure to small cap stocks,
particularly those in India, contributed to the Portfolio's relative
outperformance. The Portfolio's smaller allocation than the Index to Russia,
among the lowest performing emerging markets during the period, also
contributed to the Portfolio's relative outperformance.

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

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a

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

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

investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with such requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.
The categories of industry classification for the Affiliated Investment
Companies are represented in their Disclosures of Portfolio Holdings, which are
included elsewhere within the report. Refer to the Schedule of
Investments/Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings for each of the underlying
Affiliated Investment Company's holdings which reflect the investments by
category or country.

Each feeder fund and fund of funds (collectively, "Feeder Funds") invests
primarily in a corresponding master fund(s) ("Master Fund") as indicated.
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, World 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
and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio engage 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 June 27, 2014, the Dimensional Retirement Equity Fund II changed
its name to the World Core Equity Portfolio.
B. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 ask prices which approximates fair value. Price information on listed
securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.
Generally,
149
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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is
fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the
time that the net asset values of the 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 shares of The DFA International Value Series and
DEM), World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio (except shares of The Emerging
Markets Small Cap Series and DEM), World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, World
Core Equity Portfolio (except shares of The Emerging Markets Series), 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, World ex
U.S. Targeted Value
150
Portfolio and World Core Equity 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.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant Level 3 investments held by the
Portfolios.
2. Foreign Currency Translation: Securities and other assets and
liabilities of the Fixed Income Portfolio, the International Equity Portfolios
and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio 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 Fixed Income 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, the Fixed
Income Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio do isolate the
effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates when determining the realized
gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt
obligations pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are
categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for 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, Fixed Income Portfolio and Selectively Hedged
Global Equity 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 selecting a
different distribution date). As of October 31, 2014, 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
151
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 and International Small
Company Portfolio, including supervision of services provided by others,
providing information to shareholders and the Board, and other administrative
services.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Portfolios' investment advisory
services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the
following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:

* Prior to February 28, 2014, the Portfolios and the U.S. Targeted Value
Portfolio each were provided administrative services under an administrative
agreement. Effective February 28, 2014, the administrative agreement and
investment advisory agreement for each of these Portfolios were combined into
an investment management agreement that provides for an investment management
fee, equal to each Portfolio's previous investment advisory services fee and
administrative services fee, payable to the Advisor for both investment
advisory services and administrative services.
Further, on December 13, 2013, the Board of the Fund voted to approve the
combination of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration
Agreement (together, the "Previous Agreements") into a bundled Investment
Management Agreement for the Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S.
Targeted Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap
Portfolio and U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio. The Investment Management Agreements
became effective on February 28, 2014. The nature and level of services to each
Portfolio under the Investment Management Agreements are the same as under the
Previous Agreements. As of February 28, 2014, the Portfolios pay the Advisor an
investment management fee that is equal to the sum of the previous investment
advisory and administration fees that were paid by each Portfolio to the
Advisor under the Previous Agreements.
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, 2015, and may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of
Directors prior to that date. The Fee Waiver Agreement shall continue in effect
from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. For
the year ended October 31, 2014, 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).
153
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.

(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
advisory fee and assume each Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses (excluding
the expenses a Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other
investment companies and excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio
Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of each
Portfolio to the rates listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an
annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount
listed above for such Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any
fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that
such recovery will not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to
exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(2) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to
assume the Portfolio's expenses (excluding the expenses the Portfolio incurs
indirectly through investment in other investment companies and excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent 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 time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of shares of the Portfolio are less than the
Expense Limitation Amount listed above for such class of shares, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the
154
extent that such recovery will not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio
Expenses for such class of shares to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as
listed above.
(3) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and
to assume the other direct expenses of the Portfolio (excluding expenses
incurred through its investment in other investment companies and excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit
the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio, on an annualized basis, to the rate
listed above as a percentage of average net assets (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are less
than the Expense Limitation Amount listed above, 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 applicable Expense
Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(4) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its administration fee and
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
percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense
Limitation Amount"). The Fee Waiver Agreement does not include the indirect
expenses each Portfolio bears as a shareholder of its Master Fund. At any time
that the direct expenses of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation
Amount listed above, 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 direct expenses to exceed the Expense
Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(5) Effective February 28, 2012, the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and to assume the expenses of the
Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of
its Master Funds 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 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 Portfolio Expenses of the
Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount listed above, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the
Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation
Amount, as listed above.
Prior to February 28, 2012, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive all or
a portion of its advisory fee and to assume the expenses of the Portfolio
(including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of its Master
Funds but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to
the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to 0.55%
of average net assets on an annualized basis. At any time that the annualized
Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio were less than 0.55% of average net assets
on an annualized basis, 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 Expense Limitation Amount then in effect. The Advisor voluntarily agreed to
waive all or a portion of its advisory fee to the extent necessary to limit the
total advisory fees paid by the Portfolio to the Advisor directly and
indirectly (the proportionate share of the advisory fees paid by the Portfolio
through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor) to 0.35% of the
Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized basis.
(6) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of
the Portfolio's advisory fee of 0.47% to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the advisory fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in its Master Funds. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement,
the Advisor also has agreed to waive all or a portion of the advisory fee that
remains payable by the Portfolio (i.e., the advisory fee remaining after the
proportionate share of the Master Funds' advisory services fees have been
offset (the "Remaining Management Fee")) to the extent necessary to reduce the
Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses (including expenses incurred through
its investment in other investment companies but excluding any applicable 12b-1
fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the rate listed above as a percentage of
average net assets on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount").
The maximum amount that may be waived to limit Portfolio Expenses is the amount
of the Remaining Management Fee. Further, at any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation
Amount listed above, the Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement for any
155
fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that
such reimbursement will not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses
to exceed the Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(7) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of
the Portfolio's advisory fee of 0.58% to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the advisory fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in its Master Funds. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement,
the Advisor has also agreed to waive all or a portion of the advisory fee and
to assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of the Portfolio
(including expenses incurred through its investment in other investment
companies but excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to
the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the
Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of
a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio
are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such class of the Portfolio,
the Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of
the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(8) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
advisory fee and to assume the expenses of a class of the Portfolio (including
the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of its Master Funds 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 of a class of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a
percentage of average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized
basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation
Amount for such class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to seek
reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed

expenses (including expenses incurred through its investment in other
investment companies but excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio
Expenses") of a class of the Portfolio so that such Portfolio Expenses do not
exceed the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of a
class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio
are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such class of shares of 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 annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the
Portfolio to exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount.
Prior to June 27, 2014, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive up to the
full amount of the Portfolio's management fee of 0.30% to the extent necessary
to offset the proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio
through its investment in its Master Funds (including the Portfolio's
proportionate share of any management fees that a Master Fund paid through its
investment in an affiliated cash management fund). In addition, under the Fee
Waiver Agreement, the Advisor also agreed to assume the expenses of a class of
the Portfolio to the extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses
(including expenses incurred through its investment in other investment
companies but excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") of
such class of the Portfolio so that the Portfolio Expenses did not exceed 0.40%
of the average net assets of such class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis.
(10) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of
the Portfolio's management fee of 0.30% to the extent necessary to offset the

to assume the expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
156

expenses incurred through its investment in other investment companies but
excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") of the Portfolio to
the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets of a class of the
Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time
that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the
Expense Limitation Amount for such class of the Portfolio listed above, the
Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived
and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement will
not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the
Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(11) The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the direct and indirect expenses of the Class R1
shares and Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment companies
and excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent
necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Class R1 shares and Class R2
shares of the Portfolio to the rate listed above for such class of shares as a
percentage of average net assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time
that the Portfolio Expenses of the Class R1 shares or Class R2 shares of the
Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount listed above for such
class of shares, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will
not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of
shares to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(12) 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 of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the
expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment
companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the rate listed above as a percentage of
average net assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less than the
Expense Limitation Amount listed above, the Advisor retains the right to
recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the
extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses of
the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount,
as listed above.

F. Federal Income Taxes:
Each Portfolio has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
for federal income tax purposes and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net
investment income or accumulated net realized gains or losses, as appropriate,
in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent
differences as of October 31, 2014, 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,
distributions received from real estate investment trusts and distribution
redesignations, were reclassified to the following accounts. These
reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per share

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
164
enactment. As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolios had the following capital
loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through
the indicated expiration dates (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 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 of the Fund 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
167
shareholder's investment in the Portfolio was not impacted by the conversion,
however, a shareholder received fewer Class R2A Shares than the number of Class
R2 Shares held at the time of the conversion because the Class R2A Shares had a
higher net asset value per share. Effective February 28, 2011, Class R2A Shares
were renamed to Class R2 Shares.
The per share data in the financial highlights prior to the year ended
October 31, 2011 have been retroactively restated to reflect the conversion.
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. 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.
2. 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, 2014, The 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, 2014, Enhanced U.S. Large Company
Portfolio's and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio's average contract
amount of forward currency contracts was $43,008 and $21,289 (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.
3. 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, U.S. Small Cap Value 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), Russell 2000
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.
At October 31, 2014, the following Portfolios had outstanding futures
contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

contract amount of outstanding futures contracts were $191,549 and $3,210 (in

I. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on
March 2, 2015.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank. Each portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to
its
171
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 line of credit agreement expires on January 9, 2015.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, borrowings by the Portfolios under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and

J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2014, 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):

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 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a Portfolio
could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only recover cash
or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Portfolio 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. Other:

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, described below, 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.
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
174
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.
Oral argument on the appeal was held on November 5, 2014, and the parties await
the Second Circuit's ruling. The Committee Action remains pending, and a motion
to dismiss on behalf of all shareholder defendants in the Committee Action was
filed on May 23, 2014. The motion to dismiss is fully-briefed, and the parties
await the scheduling of oral argument on the motion. The Committee Action is
stayed pending the disposition of the motion to dismiss.
Litigation counsel to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series in the Lawsuits has
advised management that it 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 quantify the cost of the
Lawsuits that could potentially be 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.
N. Subsequent Event Evaluations:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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, 2014 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
(Unaudited)
Commodity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, commodities retreated from an
early 2014 rally to end with a -5.94% return as measured by the Bloomberg
Commodity Index Total Return. The precious metals sector led the decline.
Following closely in terms of decline, grain and energy prices declined
significantly in the period. Industrial metals produced near flat returns, and
the livestock sector stood apart, producing a double-digit positive return in
the period.
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 Bloomberg
Commodity Index Total Return. 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, 2014, the total return was -3.08% for
the Portfolio and -5.94% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return. The
Portfolio's relative outperformance was attributable to the combination of
differences in the 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 Bloomberg Commodity
Index, whose returns for the period ranged from +62.41% (coffee) to -31.64%
(sugar).
While the Portfolio has derivative exposure to commodities, the majority of
the assets were invested in fixed income securities. The fixed income component
duration increased slightly from 1.81 to 1.85 years during the period. The
Portfolio benefited from exposure to longer duration relative to its short-term
obligations on its derivatives. The Portfolio also benefited from its exposure
to lower credit securities 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.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), whose shares are generally offered, without a sales
charge, to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of registered
investment advisors. The Fund consists of seventy-seven operational portfolios,
one of which, DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included
in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are
presented in separate reports.
The Portfolio wholly owns and controls Dimensional Cayman Commodity Fund I,
LTD. (the "Subsidiary"), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman
Islands. The Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the
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
agreements will be valued at the price provided by an independent third-party
pricing service or source. If a price is not available from an independent
third-party pricing service or source, the swap agreement will be valued in
good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency
contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed
from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
190
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, 2014, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant 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, 2014, 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.
191
To the extent of the Portfolio's investment through the Subsidiary, it will
be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other
instruments in which the Subsidiary invests. By investing in the Subsidiary,
the Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the
Subsidiary's investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the
Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the
Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments
if held directly by the Portfolio.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under
Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Portfolio is required
to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net
investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Portfolio in the
current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
As of October 31, 2014, the Portfolio held a $243,966,964 investment in the
Subsidiary, representing 20.10% 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.
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, 2014, 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 "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive all or a portion of the management fee and to assume the expenses of the
Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of
other funds managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through 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, 2015,
and may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Directors prior to that date.
The Fee Waiver Agreement will continue in effect from year to year thereafter
unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At October 31, 2014, there were
no previously waived fees subject 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, 2014, approximately $640 (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, 2014, 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 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, 2014, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $262 (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, 2014, 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):

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, 2014, 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
book 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

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, 2014, the
Portfolio did not have any capital loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2014, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):

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.
194
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.
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
Statement 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 Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on
foreign currency transactions.
At October 31, 2014, 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):

amount of forward currency contracts was $226,502 (in thousands).
**Positive Currency Amount represents a purchase contract and a Currency Amount

195
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 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.
196
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
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
197
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.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities
The Portfolios are subject to master netting agreements ("MNA") with certain
counterparties which govern the terms of derivative transactions and reduce the
counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying offsetting
mechanisms and collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure
levels. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are
sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty
organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different MNA,
possibly resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single
counterparty. As the MNA's are specific to unique operations of different asset
types, they allow each Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a
counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions
governed under a single MNA with a counterparty. Certain MNA's contain
provisions which allow for the net settlement of receivable and payable
positions with the same counterparty if defined conditions are met.
The following table presents the Portfolio's gross and net amount of assets
and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any
related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolio as of October 31, 2014

I. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on
March 2, 2015.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit 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 line of credit agreement expires on January 9, 2015.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2014.
J. Indemnitees; Contractual Obligations:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. Other:
At October 31, 2014, three shareholders held 85% 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.
L. 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.
201
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and
Shareholders of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio:
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, 2014, 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, 2014 by
correspondence with the custodian 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 is designed 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, 2014, the Master
Fund held approximately 550 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, 2014, total returns were -1.21% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, -0.97% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and -0.15% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad trends in international equity markets rather
than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund had
significantly greater exposure than the Index to value stocks. Value stocks,
particularly those in Canada, generally underperformed the Index, which
detracted from the Portfolio's relative performance.
U.S. Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
U.S. equities had strong gains during the period. The broad U.S. equity
market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, had positive returns in 9 of
the 12 months. As measured by the Russell indices, large cap stocks
outperformed small cap stocks.
Total Return for 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
-------------------------------------------------
Russell 3000(R) Index........................ 16.07%
Russell Microcap(R) Index (micro cap stocks). 7.34%
Russell 2000(R) Index (small cap stocks)..... 8.06%
Russell 1000(R) Index (large cap stocks)..... 16.78%
Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/......... 20.69%

Growth stocks slightly outperformed value stocks 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
period 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, 2014, the total return was 17.17% for
the Portfolio and 17.27% 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.
207
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.

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, 2014, the Feeder
Fund owned 75% 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:
Value
Target Fund Shares Acquiring Fund Shares (in thousands)
----------- ---------- -------------------------------- ----------- --------------
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):
Unrealized Appreciation
Target Fund Net Assets (Depreciation) Acquiring Fund Net Assets
----------- ---------- ----------------------- ------------------------------- ----------
U.S. Large Company
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. $2,731,987 $315,984 Institutional Index Portfolio $870,696
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
220
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 ask prices which approximates 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 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, 2014, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant 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.
221
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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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*..... 0.035%
For the year ended October 31, 2014, 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 rate of average daily net
assets:
U.S. Large Company Portfolio*. 0.025%
* Prior to February 28, 2014, the Portfolio was provided administrative
services under an administrative agreement. Effective February 28, 2014, the
administrative agreement and investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio
was combined into an investment management agreement that provides for an
investment management fee, equal to the Portfolio's previous investment
advisory services fee and administrative services fee, payable to the Advisor
for both investment advisory services and administrative services.
Further, on December 13, 2013, the Board of the Fund voted to approve the
combination of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration
Agreement (together, the "Previous Agreements") into a bundled Investment
Management Agreement for the U.S. Large Company Portfolio. The Investment
Management Agreement became effective on February 28, 2014. The nature and
level of services to the Portfolio under the Investment Management Agreement
are the same as under the Previous Agreements. As of February 28, 2014, the
Portfolio pays the Advisor an investment management fee that is equal to the
sum of the previous investment advisory and administration fees that were paid
by the Portfolio to the Advisor under the Previous Agreements.
222
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 will remain in effect
through February 28, 2015, and may only be terminated by the Fund's Board of
Directors prior to that date. The Fee Waiver Agreement shall continue in effect
from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. For
the year ended October 31, 2014, 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.

(1) Effective August 1, 2013, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive
all or a portion of its management fee to the extent necessary to reduce the
ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in
other investment companies 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.
(2) 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 of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the
expenses the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment
companies) to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets (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 such class of shares, the Advisor retains the right to recover
any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent
that such recovery will not cause the annualized expenses of the Class R2
shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed
above.
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the total
related amounts paid by
223
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, 2014, 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. $207
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 260
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2014, 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. $245,329 $139,778
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, 2014,
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):

U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 10,550 -- (109,001) 2,773,405 2,674,954
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, 2014, the
Portfolios had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts
in thousands):

following capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for
federal income tax purposes (amounts in thousands):
DFA International Value Portfolio. $126,405
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 76,220
At October 31, 2014, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
Net
Unrealized
Federal Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Tax Cost Appreciation Depreciation (Depreciation)
---------- ------------ ------------ --------------
DFA International Value Portfolio. $6,252,699 $ 739,995 $ (683) $ 739,312
U.S. Large Company Portfolio...... 3,226,704 2,837,721 (64,317) 2,773,404
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 Portfolios'
tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in the Portfolios'
225
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, for the year
ended October 31, 2010 has 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:
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
1. 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. 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
226
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, 2014, 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, 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on
March 2, 2015.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit 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 line of credit agreement expires on January 9, 2015.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolios under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2014.
J. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2014, U.S. Large Company Portfolio had securities on loan
to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. In
addition, U.S. Large Company Portfolio received non-cash collateral consisting
of short and/or long term U.S. Treasury securities with a market value of
$18,397 (in thousands). 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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a
Portfolio could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only
recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to 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
228
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. Other:
At October 31, 2014, the following number of shareholders held the following
approximate percentages of the stated portfolios' outstanding shares. One or
more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares
for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

N. Subsequent Event Evaluations:

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 Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and
Shareholders of the Portfolios, as defined:
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, 2014, 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, 2014 by
correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and the transfer agents of the
investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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
period 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 is designed 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, 2014, the Series held approximately 260
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, 2014, total returns were 15.67% for the
Series and 16.46% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. As a result of the
Series' diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally
by broad trends in the U.S. equity market rather than the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Series excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs) and
highly regulated utilities from eligibility while the Index holds stocks in
these sectors. REITs and utilities generally outperformed other sectors during
the period, which detracted from the Series' relative performance. Lower book
to market stocks outperformed higher book to market stocks within the index.
The Series had less weight than the index in lower book to market stocks, which
detracted from relative performance.

International Equity Series' Performance Overview
The DFA International Value Series
The DFA International Value Series is designed to capture the returns of
international 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, 2014, the Series held approximately
550 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, 2014, total returns were -0.72% for the
Series and -0.15% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in international equity markets rather than the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series had significantly greater
exposure than the Index to value stocks. Value stocks, particularly those in
Canada, generally underperformed the Index, which detracted from the Series'
relative performance.
The Japanese Small Company Series
The Japanese Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns of
Japanese small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were 2.46% for the
Series and -0.24% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad trends in the Japanese equity market, rather
than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series' greater exposure
than the Index to companies with smaller relative capitalization contributed to
relative outperformance as these stocks generally outperformed during the
period. This was partially offset by the Series' exclusion of real estate
investment trusts (REITs), which outperformed and detracted from the Series'
relative performance. Differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Series and the Index also benefited 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 Asia Pacific Small Company Series
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns of
small company stocks in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2014, the Series held approximately 880 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.
238
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, total returns were -3.46% for the
Series and -4.93% 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 trends in Asia Pacific equity
markets rather than the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series'
exclusion of growth-oriented small cap stocks with low profitability
contributed to relative performance as these stocks underperformed. This was
partially offset by the Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts
(REITs), which outperformed and detracted from the Series' relative
performance. In addition, differences in the valuation timing and methodology
between the Series and the Index benefited 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 United Kingdom Small Company Series
The United Kingdom Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns
of U.K. small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Series held
approximately 320 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, 2014, total returns were 1.22% for the
Series and -0.49% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Series diversified investment approach, performance was determined
principally by broad trends in the U.K. equity market, rather than the behavior
of a limited number of stocks. The Series excludes a number of growth-oriented
small cap stocks with low profitability that were held by the Index. These
stocks generally underperformed, contributing to the Series' relative
performance.
The Continental Small Company Series
The Continental Small Company Series is designed 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, 2014, the
Series held approximately 1,180 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, 2014, total returns were -2.25% for the
Series and -3.31% 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 trends in the continental European (excluding
the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets, rather than the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. For the period, the Series' outperformance was primarily
attributable to differences in the valuation timing and methodology between the
Series and the Index. The Series prices foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. markets while the Index uses rates at 4 pm London time. The Series
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. markets while the Index uses local market closing prices.
The Canadian Small Company Series
The Canadian Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns of
Canadian small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2014, the Series held
approximately 370 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, 2014, total returns were -3.83% for the
Series and -3.00% for the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified investment approach, performance was
determined principally by broad trends in the Canadian equity market. Due to
construction methodology differences between the Series and the Index, the
Series' holdings in the energy sector significantly underperformed those of the
Index and contributed to the Series' relative underperformance. The Index held
a number of companies in the energy sector that were outside of the Series'
definition of small caps and these companies outperformed, which contributed to
the Series' relative underperformance. The Series' exclusion of real
239
estate investment trusts (REITs) also detracted from the Series' relative
performance as REITs outperformed during the period.
The Emerging Markets Series
The Emerging Markets Series is designed 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, 2014, the
Series held approximately 1,100 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, 2014, total returns were 1.74% for the
Series and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified approach, performance was generally
determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Series' relative performance benefited from a
lower weight than the Index in Russia, among the lowest performing emerging
markets during the period, and a higher weight in India and Taiwan, among the
best performing emerging markets during the period. The Series excludes certain
countries from eligibility that the Index holds, such as the UAE and Qatar.
Both of these countries underperformed, and their exclusion contributed to the
Series' outperformance.
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series is designed 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, 2014, the
Series held approximately 3,200 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, 2014, total returns were 5.60% for the
Series and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a
result of the Series' diversified approach, performance was principally
determined by broad 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 outperformed emerging markets large caps over the period, and the
Series' greater exposure to small caps, particularly those in India,
contributed to the Series' relative outperformance. During the year ended
October 31, 2014, the Series did not invest in certain countries that the Index
holds, such as the UAE, Qatar, and Russia. Russia underperformed significantly
and, as it was excluded from the Series, contributed to the Series' relative
performance.

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.
Domestic Equity Portfolio International Equity Portfolios
------------------------- ------------------------------- -
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series The DFA International Value Series
The Japanese Small Company Series
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series
The United Kingdom Small Company Series
The Continental Small Company Series
The Canadian Small Company Series
The Emerging Markets Series
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series
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 ask prices which
approximates 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
287
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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is
fourteen hours before the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the
time that the net asset values of the 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.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant Level 3 investments held by the
Series.
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
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,
288
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, 2014, 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, 2014, the Series'
investment advisory services fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... 0.10%
The DFA International Value Series...... 0.20%
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 0.10%
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 0.10%
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. 0.10%
The Continental Small Company Series.... 0.10%
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 0.10%
The Emerging Markets Series............. 0.10%
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 0.20%
Earned Income Credit:
In addition, the Series have entered into arrangements with their custodian
whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of each Series' custody expenses. Custody expense in the accompanying
financial statements is presented before reduction for credits. During the year
ended October 31, 2014, expenses reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Fees Paid
Indirectly
----------
The DFA International Value Series...... $12

The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 5
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. 1
The Continental Small Company Series.... 2
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 4
The Emerging Markets Series............. 12
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 12
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, 2014, the total
related amounts paid by the Trust to the CCO were $83 (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, 2014, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... $399
The DFA International Value Series...... 284
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 64
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 33
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. 43
The Continental Small Company Series.... 79
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 20
The Emerging Markets Series............. 104
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 77
290
E. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Series made the following purchases
and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S.
government securities (amounts in thousands):
Purchases Sales
---------- ----------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... $3,909,998 $2,450,419
The DFA International Value Series...... 2,543,963 1,602,168
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 428,650 219,413

The Continental Small Company Series.... 518,636 430,628
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 223,575 38,347
The Emerging Markets Series............. 637,475 196,321
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 1,109,150 389,098
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, 2014, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
Net Unrealized
Federal Tax Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Cost Appreciation Depreciation (Depreciation)
----------- ------------ ------------ --------------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... $12,592,751 $6,828,954 $(163,400) $6,665,554
The DFA International Value Series...... 8,784,721 1,642,679 (600,496) 1,042,183
The Japanese Small Company Series....... 2,771,115 381,781 (286,920) 94,861
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 1,866,856 288,322 (316,853) (28,531)
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. 1,553,580 625,581 (141,289) 484,292
The Continental Small Company Series.... 3,065,469 949,996 (434,069) 515,927
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 1,216,657 137,372 (279,097) (141,725)
The Emerging Markets Series............. 3,268,179 1,476,765 (266,689) 1,210,076
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 5,156,701 1,119,729 (680,957) 438,772
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 remain
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
291
G. Financial Instruments:
In accordance with the Series' investment objectives and policies, the
Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their
significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international
securities held by the Series may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Series.
2. Futures Contracts: The Series may enter into futures contracts to gain
market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract,
the Series 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 location and value of derivative
instrument holdings on the Series' Statements of Operations categorized by
primary risk exposure for the year ended October 31, 2014 (amounts in
thousands):

* As of October 31, 2014, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During
the year ended October 31, 2014, the Series had limited activity in futures
contracts.
H. 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
292
credit. The agreement for the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by
either party at any time. The agreement for the line of credit expires on
March 2, 2015.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit 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 line of credit agreement expires on January 9, 2015.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, borrowings by the Series 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
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series....... 0.85% $11,241 11 $ 3 $32,996

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series. 0.83% 4,374 27 3 9,078
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2014, 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, 2014.
I. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2014, 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 Uninvested
Value Cash Collateral
-------- ---------------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series......... $ 27,105 --
The DFA International Value Series...... 7,009 --
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series... 3,288 --
The United Kingdom Small Company Series. -- $2,337
The Canadian Small Company Series....... 29,346 --
The Emerging Markets Series............. 149,153 --
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 273,571 --
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. In the event of the bankruptcy of the borrower, a
Series could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only
recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Series will generally
invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short
Term Investment Fund (the "Money Market Series"), an affiliated registered
money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a
management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market
Series. 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. 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, described below, 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.
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. Oral argument on the appeal was held on
November 5, 2014, and the parties await the Second Circuit's ruling. The
Committee Action remains pending, and a motion to dismiss on behalf of all
shareholder defendants in the Committee Action was filed on May 23, 2014. The
motion to dismiss is fully-briefed, and the parties await the scheduling of
oral argument on the motion. The Committee Action is stayed pending the
disposition of the motion to dismiss.
294
Litigation counsel to The U.S. Large Cap Value Series in the Lawsuits has
advised management that it 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 quantify the cost of the
Lawsuits that could potentially be 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.
L. 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.
295
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of The DFA Investment Trust Company and
Shareholders of the Series, as defined:
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, 2014, 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, 2014 by correspondence with the custodians,
brokers, and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Unaudited)
International Equity Market Review 12 Months Ended October 31, 2014
Emerging markets generally had stronger performance over the period than
developed markets with positive returns in each market segment except large cap
value. As measured by the MSCI emerging markets indices, small cap stocks
outperformed large cap stocks, and growth stocks outperformed value stocks.

During the period, the U.S. dollar (USD) generally appreciated against most
emerging markets currencies, particularly those in Eastern Europe, decreasing
USD denominated returns in emerging markets.

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund
The Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund is designed 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, 2014, 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, 2014, total returns were -1.09% for the
Fund and 0.64% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends). As a result
of the Fund's diversified investment approach, performance was generally
determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Fund invests primarily in value stocks while the
Index is neutral with regard to value stocks. Emerging markets value stocks
generally underperformed during the period, which was the primary driver of the
Fund's relative underperformance.

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 29, 2014. It is available upon
request, without charge, by calling collect: (512) 306-7400 or by mailing a
request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One,
Austin, Texas 78746, or by visiting the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or
they may be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in
Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the
Public Reference Room).
SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
amendments also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.
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 Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC requires that all funds present their categories of portfolio
holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percent of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Organization:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund Inc. ("DEM I") was organized as a
closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Effective November 21, 1997, DEM I was
reorganized as an open-end management investment company. On October 27, 2009,
the Board of Directors and shareholders of DEM I approved an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization that provided for the reorganization of DEM I from a Maryland
corporation to a Delaware statutory trust. Effective October 30, 2009, DEM I
transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Dimensional Emerging Markets
Value Fund ("DEM II" or the "Fund"), a Delaware statutory trust, in a tax-free
exchange under Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") (S)368(a)(1)(F).
Effective November 1, 2009, 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 Fund
maintains 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 ask prices which approximates 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
309
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, 2:00 a.m. ET), which is fourteen hours before the
close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. ET) and the time that the net asset
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.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, there were no significant transfers
between Level 1 and Level 2 and no significant Level 3 investments held by the
Fund.
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 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, 2014, 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 $441 (in thousands).
310
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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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, 2014, expenses reduced were $55 (amount in thousands).
Fees Paid to Officers and Directors/Trustees:
Certain Officers and Directors/Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors/Trustees of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors/Trustees
(with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no
compensation from the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the total
related amounts paid by the Fund to the CCO were $23 (in thousands). The total
related amounts paid by the Fund are included in Other Expenses on the
Statement of Operations.
311
D. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
For the year ended October 31, 2014, 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. $2,507,752 $2,276,542
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, 2014, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
Net Unrealized
Federal Tax Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation
Cost Appreciation Depreciation (Depreciation)
----------- ------------ ------------ --------------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. $20,078,984 $3,350,428 $(3,225,544) $124,884
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. Foreign Market Risks: Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities held
by the Fund may be inhibited.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Funds.
2. Forward Currency Contracts: The Fund 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 Fund's currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be based
primarily on the Fund's existing exposure to a given foreign currency. Each
contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an
unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of Operations as
the
312
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 Fund 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.
Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the
U.S.dollar.
3. Futures Contracts: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to gain
market exposure on uninvested cash pending investment in securities or to
maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. Upon entering into a futures contract,
the Funds 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 Funds as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are
closed. When the contracts are closed, the Funds 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 Funds could lose more than the
initial margin requirements. The Funds 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 location on the Fund's Statement of
Operations of realized and change in unrealized gains and losses from Fund's
derivative instrument holdings through the year ended October 31, 2014:
Derivative Type Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income

The following is a summary of the realized and change in unrealized gains
and losses from the Fund's direct investment in derivative instrument holdings
categorized by primary risk exposure through the year ended October 31, 2014
(amounts in thousands):

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund*. $499 $(5) $504
* As of October 31, 2014, there were no futures contracts outstanding. During
the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund had limited activity in futures
contracts.
G. 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 agreement for the line of credit expires on
March 2, 2015.
313
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $500 million unsecured line of credit 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 line of credit agreement expires on January 9, 2015.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, 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. 0.84% $35,523 42 $35 $143,884
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2014, 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, 2014.
H. Securities Lending:
As of October 31, 2014, 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 $510,952 (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 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. In the event of the
bankruptcy of the borrower, the Fund could experience delay in recovering the
loaned securities or only recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to its stated investment 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.
314
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. 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.
315
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 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, 2014, 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, 2014 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 Strategy Committee (the "Strategy 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, 2014.
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, 2014.
Each Board's Strategy Committee consists of both interested and disinterested
Trustees/Directors. The Strategy Committee is comprised of John P. Gould,
Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Eduardo A. Repetto. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee 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 Strategy Committee was formed on December 17, 2010, and there were
two Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended October 31,
2014.
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, 2014 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, 2014: $2,218,385
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2013: $2,035,239
(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.
