Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of our team at Dimensional, I want to thank you for trusting us with
your investments. We recognize the important role those investments play in
your future plans, and we take the responsibility implied by this trust with
the utmost dedication and seriousness that it deserves.
Dimensional is focused on offering consistent ways to access the performance
delivered by securities in different markets and asset classes through
well-diversified, efficiently managed portfolios. The importance of the word
CONSISTENCY cannot be overemphasized. By being consistent in our investment
approach and the quality of our implementation, we create opportunities for you
to combine funds into an asset allocation that fits your goals and preferences
-- enabling you to be a long-term investor in control of your investments.
We recognize markets are full of uncertainties, which highlights the importance
of having efficiently managed funds focused on delivering value to investors as
part of an overall asset allocation that can help overcome those uncertainties.
We are fortunate to work with clients who are committed to a long-term
investment philosophy. We remain committed to managing investments for our
clients with the same dedication, transparency, efficiency, and consistency we
have for more than 35 years.
Sincerely,
/s/ Eduardo A. Repetto

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 directly.
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 uses S&P 500(R) Index futures
contracts, swaps, and/or ETFs in conjunction with short-term investment grade
fixed income instruments. As of October 31, 2016, 100% of the equity exposure
consisted of S&P 500(R) Index futures contracts. The behavior of S&P 500(R)
Index futures contracts is determined principally by the performance of the S&P
500(R) Index.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, the total return was 4.75% for the
Portfolio and 4.51% for the S&P 500(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
Relative to the benchmark, the Portfolio's outperformance was primarily due to
the performance of the fixed income component of the Portfolio. The net return
of the fixed income component was greater than the average interest rate priced
into the S&P 500(R) Index futures contracts that the Portfolio purchased
throughout the year.
U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group
of U.S. securities with increased exposure to lower total market capitalization
large company stocks, value stocks, and higher large cap profitability stocks
relative to the U.S. large-cap universe. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately
900 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
19
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.51% for the
Portfolio and 4.26% for the Russell 1000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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 benchmark to lower total market capitalization stocks of
large companies, which detracted from the Portfolio's performance as mid-cap
stocks underperformed.
U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of
U.S. large-cap value stocks by purchasing shares of The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series, a Master Fund 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, 2016, the Master Fund held
approximately 300 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.58% for the
Portfolio and 6.37% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, the Portfolio's
benchmark. 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
had a larger allocation than the benchmark to lower relative price stocks,
which detracted from the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark, as
the lowest relative price quartile underperformed. The Master Fund's exclusion
of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and utilities detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark, as REITs and utilities outperformed most
other sectors during the period.
U.S. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. small and mid-capitalization value stocks. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio also may consider
profitability in the Portfolio's construction. In assessing profitability, the
Advisor may consider such factors as earnings or profits from operations
relative to book value or assets. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
approximately 1,500 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.21% for the
Portfolio's Class R1 shares, 4.04% for the Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 4.29%
for the Portfolio's Institutional Class shares, and 8.81% for the Russell
2000(R) Value Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. 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 benchmark to
mid-cap stocks and a lower allocation to small-cap stocks. Mid-cap stocks
underperformed small-caps during the period and detracted from the Portfolio's
performance, relative to the benchmark. Within small-cap and mid-cap value
stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on higher profitability stocks
detracted from relative performance as these stocks underperformed lower
profitability stocks during the period. The Portfolio's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) and utilities detracted from relative
performance as these sectors outperformed most other sectors during the period.
U.S. SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. small capitalization value stocks. Value is measured primarily by
book-to-market ratio. The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio also may consider
profitability in the Portfolio's construction. In assessing profitability, the
Advisor may consider such factors as earnings or profits from operations
relative to book value or assets. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
approximately 1,100 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.49% for the
Portfolio and 8.81% for the Russell 2000(R) Value Index, the Portfolio's
benchmark. 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
20
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio invests in a broader
market capitalization range of securities than the benchmark. This detracted
from the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks above the
range of market capitalization held by the benchmark underperformed. The
Portfolio's greater allocation than the benchmark to deep value stocks also
detracted from relative performance. Within small-cap value stocks, the
Portfolio's greater emphasis on stocks with higher profitability detracted from
relative performance as these stocks underperformed lower profitability stocks
during the period. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts
and utilities detracted from relative performance as these sectors outperformed
most other sectors during the period.
U.S. CORE EQUITY 1 PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. securities 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, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately 2,700
securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than
1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.68% for the
Portfolio and 4.24% for the Russell 3000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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 benchmark to lower total market capitalization stocks,
which detracted from the Portfolio's performance as mid-cap stocks
underperformed. The Portfolio also had a lesser allocation to large cap growth
stocks, which outperformed.
U.S. CORE EQUITY 2 PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller 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, 2016, the
Portfolio held approximately 2,700 securities. In general, average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.47% for the
Portfolio and 4.24% for the Russell 3000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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 benchmark to lower total market capitalization stocks,
which detracted from the Portfolio's performance as mid-cap stocks
underperformed. The Portfolio also had a lesser allocation to large cap growth
stocks, which outperformed.
U.S. VECTOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. securities 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, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately 2,600
securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than
1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.28% for the
Portfolio and 4.24% for the Russell 3000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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 benchmark to lower total market capitalization stocks,
which detracted from the Portfolio's performance as mid-cap stocks
underperformed. The Portfolio also had a lesser allocation to large cap growth
stocks, which outperformed.
U.S. SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Small Cap Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S.
small company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
21
approximately 2,000 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.89% for the
Portfolio and 4.11% for the Russell 2000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from its performance relative to the
benchmark, as REITs outperformed most other sectors during the period. Within
small-cap stocks, the Portfolio excluded certain stocks with lower
profitability and higher relative price, which benefited the Portfolio's
performance. These excluded stocks generally underperformed the benchmark
return during the period.
U.S. MICRO CAP PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group 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, 2016, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,600 securities. In general, average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.32% for the
Portfolio and 4.11% for the Russell 2000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
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. Within small-caps, the Portfolio
excluded certain stocks with lower profitability and higher relative price,
which contributed to outperformance over the benchmark. These excluded stocks
generally underperformed the benchmark return during the period. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from
its performance relative to the benchmark 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, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately 150 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, 2016, total returns were 6.89% for the
Portfolio, 4.96% for the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/, the Portfolio's
benchmark, and 4.51% 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. Differences in REIT eligibility between the
Portfolio and the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index/SM/ were the primary driver
of the Portfolio's outperformance relative to the benchmark.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was varied for the period.
Small-cap stocks had positive returns, while large-cap stocks had negative
returns. As measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices, small-cap stocks
outperformed large-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks.

For funds investing in non-US equities traded outside of the U.S. market time
zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a fund and
its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
23
referenced period. The funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the
U.S. market while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 pm London time. The
funds also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at
the closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market
closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2016, these
differences generally benefitted the funds' relative performance.
GLOBAL REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
Publicly traded global real estate investment trusts (REITs) and REIT-like
securities produced positive overall returns during the period. REITs and
REIT-like securities generally outperformed developed non-U.S. equity markets
but underperformed U.S. and emerging markets equities. The U.S. REIT market,
the world's largest, had positive performance and outperformed non-U.S. REITs
and REIT-like securities overall. Across larger REIT and REIT-like markets,
Japan and Australia were among the stronger performers, while the U.K. had the
weakest performance during the period. As measured by the S&P Global REIT
Index, industrial and healthcare REITs and REIT-like securities had the largest
gains, while hotel/resort and retail REITs and REIT-like securities had the
weakest 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 directly.
LARGE CAP INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The Large Cap International Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of a
broadly diversified portfolio of developed ex U.S. large company stocks. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately 1,300 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were -1.30% for the
Portfolio and -2.27% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in developed
ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Portfolio's emphasis on large company stocks with relatively
smaller market capitalization rather than on the broad large-cap universe
contributed positively to its performance relative to the benchmark, as those
stocks outperformed for the period.
INTERNATIONAL CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The International Core Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of stocks in developed ex U.S. markets, with increased exposure to stocks
with smaller market capitalization and lower relative price. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October
31, 2016, the Portfolio held approximately 5,100 securities in 22 eligible
developed markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
24
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 1.62% for the
Portfolio and -2.27% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in developed
ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Portfolio invests in stocks across all size categories, while the
benchmark primarily includes large- and mid-cap stocks. With developed ex U.S.
small-cap stocks generally outperforming large-cap stocks during the period,
the Portfolio's inclusion of small-cap stocks contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark. To a lesser extent, the Portfolio's
greater emphasis than the benchmark on low relative price (value) stocks also
had a positive impact on the Portfolio's relative performance, as value stocks
generally outperformed during the period.
INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The International Small Company Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of developed ex U.S. small company stocks by purchasing shares of five Master
Funds managed by Dimensional that invest individually in Canada, the United
Kingdom, 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, 2016, the Master Funds
collectively held approximately 4,200 securities in 22 eligible developed
markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 5.43% for the
Portfolio and 3.96% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of each Master Fund's diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
developed ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Master Funds' greater allocation than the benchmark to
micro-cap securities was the primary driver of outperformance, as micro caps
generally outperformed other small-cap securities. The Master Funds generally
exclude real estate investment trusts (REITs), which also contributed
positively to relative performance, as REITs generally underperformed the
benchmark.
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 managed by Dimensional that invests in such
securities. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Master Fund held approximately
1,500 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 14.04% for the
Portfolio and 13.21% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. 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 by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Master Fund's greater allocation than the benchmark to micro-cap
securities had a positive impact on its performance relative to the benchmark ,
as micro-caps generally outperformed other small-cap securities. The Master
Fund's outperformance was partially offset by the exclusion of real estate
investment trusts (REITs), which outperformed the overall benchmark.
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
managed by Dimensional that invests in such securities. The investment strategy
is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016,
the Master Fund held approximately 850 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, average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 16.18% for the
Portfolio and 10.56% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net
dividends), the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's
diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by
broad trends in Asia Pacific
25
equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Master Fund's exclusion of small- and micro-cap stocks with high relative price
(growth) and low profitability contributed to outperformance relative to the
benchmark, as that segment of the market underperformed. The Master Fund's
holdings of micro-cap securities, which were held at higher weight than in the
benchmark, outperformed and also contributed positively to relative
performance. In addition, due to differences in methodology the Master Fund may
invest in or hold securities that the benchmark deems to be too large to be
eligible for inclusion; during the period, these securities also outperformed,
contributing to the Master Fund's relative performance.
UNITED KINGDOM SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of small company stocks in the U.K. by purchasing shares of the United
Kingdom Small Company 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, 2016, the Master Fund held
approximately 320 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were -16.20% for the
Portfolio and -15.89% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. 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 by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Master Fund's overall performance was adversely affected by the British vote on
June 23, 2016 to exit the European Union. The Master Fund's investments are
denominated primarily in British pounds, which depreciated approximately 16%
from the aftermath of the vote through October 31, 2016. The Master Fund
generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), which contributed
positively to its performance relative to the benchmark, as REITs in the U.K.
underperformed all other sectors during the period. This was offset by
differences between the Master Fund's and the benchmark's holdings in the
consumer discretionary sector, as the benchmark's holdings in this sector
outperformed those of the Master Fund.
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 managed by Dimensional that invests in such securities. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2016, the Master Fund held approximately 1,160 securities in 14
eligible developed European countries plus Israel. In general, average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 5.70% for the
Portfolio and 2.61% for the MSCI Europe ex UK Small Cap Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
the European (excluding the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets rather than by the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master Fund's holdings of microcap
securities, held at a higher weight than in the benchmark, outperformed and
contributed to performance relative to the benchmark. In addition, due to
differences in methodology, the Master Fund may invest in or hold securities
that the benchmark deems to be too large to be eligible for inclusion. During
the period, the Master Fund's holdings of these securities outperformed and
contributed positively to relative performance. The Master Fund generally
excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), which contributed positively to
outperformance relative to the benchmark, as REITs underperformed the overall
index.
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 developed ex U.S. and emerging markets. As of October 31, 2016,
the Portfolio held approximately 260 securities in 21 approved developed ex
U.S. and emerging markets countries. In general, average cash exposure
throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 1.05% for the
Portfolio and 1.28% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified approach,
performance was generally determined by broad trends in developed ex U.S. real
estate securities
26
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Portfolio's overall performance and its benchmark were adversely affected by
the British vote on June 23, 2016 to exit the European Union. The Portfolio
held an average weight of approximately 15% in UK REITs over the one year
period ended October 31, 2016. The Portfolio's exclusion of Thailand REITs,
which outperformed and were included in the benchmark, detracted from the
Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark. In addition, small holdings
differences in Japan, the U.K., and Australia, resulting from differences in
the classification of eligible securities between the Portfolio and the
benchmark, also detracted from relative performance.
DFA GLOBAL REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of a broadly diversified group of real estate securities in developed
and emerging markets. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio invested in the DFA
International Real Estate Securities Portfolio, the DFA Real Estate Securities
Portfolio, and individual securities. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio
held, either directly or through the underlying portfolios, approximately 410
securities in 22 approved developed and emerging markets countries. In general,
average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.87% for the
Portfolio and 3.89% for the S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified approach,
performance was generally determined by broad trends in global real estate
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Portfolio's overall performance and its benchmark were adversely affected by
the British vote on June 23, 2016 to exit the European Union. The Portfolio
held an average weight of approximately 5% in UK REITs over the one year period
ended October 31, 2016. The Portfolio's holdings in the U.S. outperformed those
in the benchmark. Withholding tax rate differences between the Portfolio and
the benchmark also contributed positively to the Portfolio's relative
performance relative to the benchmark.
DFA INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
The DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of small-cap value stocks in developed ex U.S. markets. Value is
measured primarily by price-to-book ratio. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the
Portfolio held over 2,200 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. In
general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.09% for the
Portfolio and 3.96% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
developed ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Portfolio focuses on deep value stocks, while the
benchmark does not. This difference had a positive impact on the Portfolio's
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally outperformed
during the period. The Portfolio generally excludes real estate investment
trusts (REITs), which also had a positive impact on relative outperformance as
REITs underperformed the benchmark.
INTERNATIONAL VECTOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The International Vector Equity Portfolio is designed to capture the returns
of a broadly diversified group of stocks in developed ex U.S. markets, with
increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative
price, and higher profitability. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
approximately 4,600 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. In general,
average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.21% for the
Portfolio and -2.27% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in developed
ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Portfolio invests in stocks across all size categories, while the
benchmark primarily includes large and mid-cap stocks. With developed ex U.S.
small-cap stocks generally
27
outperforming large-cap stocks during the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of
small-cap stocks contributed positively to performance relative to the
benchmark. To a lesser extent, the Portfolio's greater emphasis than the
benchmark on low relative price (value) stocks also had a positive impact on
the Portfolio's relative performance, as value stocks outperformed 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 developed ex U.S. and
emerging markets. The Portfolio may pursue its objective by holding direct
securities; by purchasing shares of funds managed by Dimensional: the DFA
International Value Series, the DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio,
and the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the "Underlying Funds"); or by
a combination of securities and Underlying Funds. Value is measured primarily
by price-to-book ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Underlying Funds
collectively held approximately 4,900 securities in 41 eligible developed ex US
and emerging markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.54% for the
Portfolio and 0.22% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net
dividends), the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Underlying Funds'
diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by
broad trends in developed ex U.S. and emerging equity markets rather than by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Underlying Funds invest
primarily in value stocks, while the benchmark is neutral with regard to value
or growth stocks. The Underlying Funds' emphasis on deep value stocks
contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance relative to the
benchmark, as that segment of the market outperformed for the year. The
Underlying Funds' inclusion of and emphasis on small and mid-cap stocks also
contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance relative to the
benchmark, as those stocks outperformed for 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 developed ex U.S. and emerging
markets. Value is measured primarily by price-to-book ratio. The investment

average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 7.18% for the
Portfolio and 4.22% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small Cap Index (net
dividends), the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's
diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by
broad trends in developed ex U.S. and emerging markets rather than by the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's emphasis on value
stocks, compared to the benchmark, which is neutral with regard to value or
growth stocks, had a positive impact on the Portfolio's performance relative to
the benchmark, as value stocks generally outperformed during the period. The
Portfolio generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), which also
contributed positively to relative performance as REITs underperformed the
benchmark.
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 group of stocks in developed ex U.S. and emerging
markets with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization
and lower relative price. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
approximately 7,000 securities in 43 eligible developed and emerging markets.
In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.58% for the
Portfolio and 0.22% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net
dividends), the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's
diversified investment approach, performance was determined principally by
broad trends in developed ex U.S. and emerging equity markets rather than by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio invests in stocks
across all size categories, while the benchmark primarily holds large and
mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio's inclusion of
28
small-cap stocks contributed positively to performance relative to the
benchmark. To a lesser extent, the Portfolio's greater emphasis than the
benchmark on low relative price (value) stocks also had a positive impact on
the Portfolio's relative performance, as value stocks outperformed during the
period.
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.
As of the date of this report, the Portfolio's investments included 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, 2016, the Underlying Funds collectively held more than 12,000
equity securities in 44 countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 3.73% for the
Portfolio and 2.05% for the MSCI All Country World Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. 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' greater exposure than the benchmark to smaller and deeper
value stocks, both of which generally outperformed the benchmark, contributed
to the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark.
SELECTIVELY HEDGED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by
Dimensional. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio invests in 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, 2016, the Underlying Funds collectively held
more than 12,000 equity securities in 44 countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.32% for the
Portfolio and 2.05% for the MSCI All Country World Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. 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 Underlying Funds invest in stocks across
all eligible countries but had a lower allocation than the benchmark to the
U.S. and a higher allocation than the benchmark to emerging markets. For the
period, emerging markets securities outperformed both U.S. and developed ex
U.S. securities, and the Underlying Funds' country allocation contributed to
the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark. The Underlying Funds'
greater exposure than the benchmark to smaller and deeper value stocks, both of
which outperformed, contributed to the Portfolio's relative performance. To a
lesser extent, the Portfolio's strategy of selectively hedging foreign currency
exposure contributed to relative returns, particularly hedging British pound
exposure, as the British pound depreciated against the U.S. dollar.
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, 2016, the Master Fund held
approximately 1,000 securities across 21 eligible emerging markets. In general,
average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 11.01% for the
Portfolio and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified approach,
performance was generally determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather
than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The relative outperformance
of the Master Fund was driven primarily by country allocation differences
between the Master Fund and the benchmark. The Master Fund's lesser allocation
to China contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance relative to the
benchmark, as China underperformed the benchmark during the period. The Master
Fund's greater allocation to Brazil (due to caps on larger countries such as
China) also had a positive impact on relative performance, as Brazil was the
strongest-performing country for
29
the year. In addition, the Master Fund's emphasis on value stocks contributed
positively to relative performance, as that segment of the market outperformed
for the year.
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, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the
Master Fund held approximately 3,600 securities across 17 eligible emerging
markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1%
of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 13.96% for the
Portfolio and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified approach,
performance was principally determined by broad trends in emerging markets
rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The relative
outperformance of the Master Fund was driven primarily by size allocation
differences between the Master Fund and the benchmark. The Master Fund focuses
on small-cap stocks while the benchmark primarily holds large-cap and mid-cap
stocks. Emerging markets small-cap stocks outperformed emerging markets
large-caps and mid-caps during the period, contributing to the Master Fund's
outperformance relative to the benchmark. The Master Fund's lesser allocation
to China also contributed positively to relative performance, as China
underperformed the benchmark during the period. The Master Fund's greater
allocation to Brazil also had a positive impact on relative performance, as
Brazil was the strongest-performing country for the year.
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 price-to-book ratio. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Master Fund held
approximately 2,200 securities across 19 eligible emerging markets. In general,
average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 14.98% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 15.23% for the Portfolio's Institutional
Class shares, and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified
investment approach, performance was generally determined by broad trends in
emerging markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Master Fund invests primarily in low relative price (value) stocks, while the
benchmark is neutral with regard to value or growth stocks. The Master Fund's
emphasis on the lowest relative price (deep value) stocks contributed
positively to the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark, as that
segment of the market outperformed for the year, especially among small-caps.
In addition, differences in country allocations contributed positively to the
Master Fund's relative performance. The Master Fund held a lesser allocation to
China, which underperformed, and a greater allocation to Brazil, which
outperformed, in each case contributing positively to relative performance.
EMERGING MARKETS CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio is designed to capture the
returns of a broadly diversified group of stocks in emerging markets, with
increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative
price, and higher profitability. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held
approximately 4,400 securities across 21 eligible emerging markets. In general,
average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 11.87% for the
Portfolio and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified approach,
performance was generally determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather
than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's inclusion
of small-cap securities, particularly the lowest relative price
30
(deep value) small-cap securities, contributed positively to its performance
relative to the benchmark, as that segment of the market outperformed for the
year. At the country level, the Portfolio's lesser allocation to China
benefited relative performance, as China underperformed. In addition, the
Portfolio's greater allocation to Brazil had a positive impact on the
Portfolio's relative performance, as Brazil was the strongest performer in the
benchmark for the year.

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

Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling

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.

Each feeder fund (collectively, "Feeder Funds") and Fund of Funds invests
primarily in a corresponding master fund(s) ("Master Fund") as indicated. The
DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio may pursue its investment objective
by investing its assets in its Master Funds and/or directly in securities of
companies in the real estate industry. Each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds also
invest in short-term temporary cash investments and futures. In addition, each
international Fund of Funds may engage in forward currency contracts.
The financial statements of the Feeder Funds' Master Funds are included
elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Feeder Funds.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 Global Real Estate
Securities Portfolio, DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio,
International Vector Equity Portfolio, World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio,
World ex U.S. Core 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 of the day. 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 within the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices.
Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
security is primarily traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end
management investment companies are valued using their respective net asset
values or public offering prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at
the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally
categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including
restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable,
are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if
events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as
determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the
net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is
used, the prices of securities used by the Domestic Equity Portfolios 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.
162
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 of
the Fund has determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate
market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London
Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair
valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value
pricing by the International Equity Portfolios 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 the Portfolios are valued on the basis of evaluated
prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable
sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of
such securities. Securities that are traded over-the-counter and on a stock
exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most
representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income
securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for
which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities),
or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith
at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Fund. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the
hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as futures, that are actively traded are valued
based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the
hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward
currency contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are
observed from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the
Master Funds) are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported
by their administrator. The Feeder Funds', International Small Company
Portfolio's and World ex U.S. Value 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.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolios' investments by each
major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this
note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary
Schedule of Portfolio Holdings/Schedule of Investments (except for the Feeder
Funds). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Portfolios recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period.
As of October 31, 2016, DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio had
significant transfers of securities with a total value of $64,808 (in
thousands), that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 because the fair market
values of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred
between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and
the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2
classification. As of October 31, 2016, World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio,
World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
had significant transfers of securities with a total value of $3,921, $32,655
and $1,460,813 (in thousands), respectively, that transferred from Level 2 to
Level 1 because fair value procedures were no longer applied.
163
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and
liabilities of the Portfolios whose values are initially expressed in foreign
currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most
recent bid and 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 Portfolios 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
Enhanced U.S. Large Company 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, Enhanced U.S. Large Company 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 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 may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a
Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been
invested in shares of the following funds: 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' Fees &
Expenses.
Each Director 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 shall have the right in a notice of election (the
"Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's deferred compensation until a
date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner
than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year
in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the
Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director's first
deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in
the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director's deferred fee
account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first
business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a
member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a
different distribution date). As of October 31, 2016, none of the Directors
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 accounted
for on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on
securities and from the investment in affiliated investment companies that
represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of
cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolios
estimate the character of 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 the 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.
164
The Feeder Funds, International Small Company Portfolio and World ex U.S.
Value Portfolio each recognize their pro-rata share of net investment income
and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from their respective
Master 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, World ex U.S. Core 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 management
services to all Portfolios.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Portfolios' investment management

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (the "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the
Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the
non-Feeder Funds below, and a portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for certain
Feeder Funds below, will remain in effect through February 28, 2017, and may
only be terminated by the Fund's Board of Directors prior to that date. The Fee
Waiver Agreement for such Portfolios shall continue in effect from year to year
thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver
Agreement with respect to the total management fees paid by the Feeder Funds,
as described in the notes below, will remain in effect permanently, unless
terminated by a Feeder Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the
Portfolios had expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an
annualized basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or
expenses assumed as listed below (amounts in thousands). Previously waived fees
subject to future recovery by the Advisor are also reflected below (amounts in
thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated to
reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed
by the Advisor more than 36 months before the date of recovery.

(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and assume each Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses
(excluding the expenses a Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in
other investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses of each
166
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 is within thirty-six months and will not cause the Portfolio's
annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as
listed above.
(2) Effective July 21, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to
permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of each Portfolio to
the extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by
a Portfolio, including the proportionate share of the management fees a
Portfolio pays indirectly through its investment in other funds managed by the
Advisor, to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of
a class of a Portfolio on an annualized basis.
(3) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to

(4) Effective July 21, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive
all or a portion of its management fee and to assume the other direct expenses

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 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

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, 2016, 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

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' financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware
of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next
twelve months. The Portfolios' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal
years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' investment objectives and policies, the
Portfolios may invest either directly or indirectly through their 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,
International Equity Portfolios and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio
may acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse
changes in the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign
exchange rate risk). The Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may also enter
into forward currency contracts to transfer balances from one currency to
another currency. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may hedge some
or all of the currency exposure of its foreign securities by entering into
forward currency contracts. The decision to hedge 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, 2016, the Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio had entered
into the following contracts and the
180
net unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) is reflected in the accompanying
financial statements (amounts in thousands):

* Positive Currency Amount represents a purchase contract and a Currency Amount
in parentheses represents a sale contract.
Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S.
dollar.
3. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios may purchase or sell futures
contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to
adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows
from the Portfolios. The Portfolios, however, do not intend to sell futures
contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. The Enhanced
U.S. Large Company Portfolio may also use futures contracts and options thereon
to hedge against securities prices or as part of its overall investment
strategy. The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio may also use futures
contracts to hedge some or all of the currency exposure of its foreign
securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios deposit cash
or pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker, 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.

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

I. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit
effective March 30, 2016, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through March 29, 2016. 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 29, 2017.
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 effective January 8, 2016. A line of credit with
similar
187
terms was in effect through January 7, 2016. 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 7, 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, borrowings by the Portfolios under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and

as of October 31, 2016.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the "Order"), the
Portfolios may participate in an interfund lending program among certain
Portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do
not participate in the program). The program allows the participating
Portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or
emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be
made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more
favorable to both the borrowing and lending Portfolios as compared to rates
available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase
agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order.
Further, a Portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent
that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and
limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be
called on one business day's notice.
The Portfolios did not utilize the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2016.
J. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2016, if any, were executed by
the Portfolios pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio
securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an
investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered
affiliates by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated
investment advisers), common directors and/or common officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for compliance with the
requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (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 in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value
of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or
its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to
105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to
foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the
189
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 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.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as
secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and
the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016:

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

M. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
N. IN-KIND REDEMPTIONS:

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business. 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
192
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 parties appealed the Court's dismissal order to the
Second Circuit, and, on March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed the
dismissal, albeit on the grounds that the individual creditor plaintiffs'
claims are preempted by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities
transactions. 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 net asset value of The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series 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.
P. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date that the financial statements were issued and has
determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,

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 Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Large Cap Equity

for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the
custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the investee funds, provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

* Amount is less than 1%.
Each Portfolio estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of net
investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the
distributions may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for
example, when some or all of the shareholder's investment in a Portfolio is
returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a
Portfolio's investment performance and should not be confused with yield or
income. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will
reduce a Portfolio's net asset value per share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(UNAUDITED)
COMMODITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Bloomberg Commodity Index
Total Return returned -2.62%. Sectors with significant declines included
energy, which returned -18.5% and livestock, which returned -21.4%. Among
sectors with positive returns, precious metals led at 11.22%, followed by
industrial metals at 7.75% and agriculture at 3.26%.
DFA COMMODITY STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
The DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio seeks total return consisting of
capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio generally invests in
commodity-linked derivative instruments and fixed income investments. The
Portfolio, through its wholly owned subsidiary Dimensional Cayman Commodity
Fund I LTD, gains exposure to commodities markets by investing in derivative
instruments such as commodity swap contracts, commodity futures and other
commodity-linked instruments. The Portfolio pursues commodity exposure based on
sector weights of the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return, the Portfolio's
benchmark. In pursuing the fixed income portion of the Portfolio's investment
strategy, Dimensional identifies a broadly diversified universe of eligible
U.S. and foreign fixed income securities with defined maturity ranges and
credit quality characteristics and then seeks to purchase a broad and diverse
portfolio of securities meeting these credit quality standards. In making these
purchase decisions, if the anticipated term 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.
The Portfolio, through the Dimensional Cayman Commodity Fund I LTD, 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 included in the benchmark, whose returns for the period
ranged from -29.22% (Kansas wheat) to 42.08% (sugar). During the period, the
average duration of the Portfolio's fixed income securities decreased to 1.72
years from 1.84 years.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, the total return was -0.26% for
the Portfolio and -2.62% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return. The
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the benchmark was attributable to
differences in the management of commodity rolls, commodity curve positioning
and investment in short-term investment grade fixed income securities during a
period of falling interest rates and narrowing credit spreads.

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

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
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 ninety-five operational portfolios,
one of which, DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included
in this section of the report. The remaining operational portfolios are
presented in separate reports. The Portfolio is an investment company, and
accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC")
Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
The Portfolio wholly owns and controls Dimensional Cayman Commodity Fund I,
LTD. (the "Subsidiary"), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman
Islands. The Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the
1940 Act.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 that are traded over-the-counter and on a stock
exchange generally will be valued according to the broadest and most
representative market, and it is expected that for bonds and other fixed income
securities, this ordinarily will be the over-the-counter market. Securities for
which quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities),
or for which market quotations have become unreliable, are valued in good faith
at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if events that have a
significant effect on the value of an investment (as determined in the
discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the net asset value of
the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the prices of
securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted or published prices
for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities
are generally categorized as Level 2 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
211
not available from an independent third-party pricing service or source, the
swap agreement will be valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Board. These securities are generally categorized as
Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency
contracts, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed
from quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's investments by each
major security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this
note. A valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Schedule
of Investments. The 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, 2016, 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 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 may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a
Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been
invested in shares of the following funds: 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' Fees &
Expenses.
Each Director 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 shall have the right in a notice of election (the
"Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's deferred compensation until a
date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner
than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year
in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the
Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director's first
deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in
the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director's deferred fee
account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first
business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a
member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a
different distribution date). As of October 31, 2016, none of the Directors
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 accounted for on the basis of identified
cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return
of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments
or as a realized gain, respectively. The Portfolio estimates the character of
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
212
and other investments. The Subsidiary (unlike the Portfolio) may invest without
limitation in these instruments. However, the Subsidiary is otherwise subject
to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment
restrictions as the Portfolio. The portion of the Portfolio's or Subsidiary's
assets exposed to any particular commodity, derivative or other investment will
vary based on market conditions, but from time to time some exposure could be
substantial.
To the extent of the Portfolio's investment through the Subsidiary, it will
be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other
instruments in which the Subsidiary invests. By investing in the Subsidiary,
the Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the
Subsidiary's investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the
Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the
Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments
if held directly by the Portfolio.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under
Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Portfolio is required
to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net
investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Portfolio in the
current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio held a $322,425,722 investment in the
Subsidiary, representing 20.18% 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 management
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the investment
management 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 a
class of the Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a
shareholder of other funds managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses
that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities
lending cash collateral in the DFA Short Term Investment Fund ("the Money
Market Series") and its investment in unaffiliated investment companies)
("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses
to no more than 0.55% of the Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized
basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount, the
Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived
and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that the amount of such
reimbursement is within thirty-six months and 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, 2017, 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, 2016, 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, 2016, approximately $866 (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
213
the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for
credits. The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of
the Portfolio's net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses
reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):
FEES PAID
INDIRECTLY
----------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio.... $18
FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES:
Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception
of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no compensation from the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the total related amounts paid by the Fund
to the CCO were $291 (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, 2016, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors/Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio.... $14
F. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:

---------- ---------- --------- --------
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio.... $1,198,026 $1,730,299 $830,856 $309,617
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, 2016, 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, 2016, the
Portfolio did not have any capital loss carryforwards.
At October 31, 2016, 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

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.
215
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 acquire and sell forward
currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the
U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk). The decision to
hedge the Portfolio's currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will
be based primarily on the Portfolio's existing exposure to a given foreign
currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by
the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the
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.
3. COMMODITY-LINKED DERIVATIVES: The Portfolio and the Subsidiary invest
in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swap agreements, commodity
options, futures, options on futures, and structured notes. The prices of
commodity-linked derivative instruments may move in different directions than
investments in traditional equity securities, fixed income securities and
commodity spot prices.
4. SWAP AGREEMENTS: The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements with
respect to commodities, interest rates and indexes of commodities or
securities, specific securities and commodities, and mortgage, credit and
event-linked swaps, and, to the extent the Portfolio may invest in
foreign-currency-denominated securities, the Portfolio may enter into swap
agreements with respect to foreign currencies.
The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions for any legal purpose
consistent with its investment objective and policies, such as for the purpose
of attempting to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower
cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of
instruments in other markets, to seek to increase total return (speculation),
to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique,
to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio
anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets
in the most economical way possible.
A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter
between the two parties (for an uncleared swap), while other swaps must be
transacted through a futures commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a
clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap), and
may be traded on swap execution facilities (exchanges). Swap agreements are
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
216
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.
Uncleared swaps are typically executed bilaterally with a swap dealer rather
than traded on exchanges. Parties to uncleared swaps face greater counterparty
credit risk than those engaging in cleared swaps since performance of uncleared
swap obligations is the responsibility only of the swap counterparty rather
than a clearinghouse, as is the case with cleared swaps. As a result, the
Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a
swap agreement in the event of the default, insolvency or bankruptcy of a swap
agreement counterparty beyond any collateral received. In such an event, the
Portfolio will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreements, but
bankruptcy and insolvency laws could affect the Portfolio's rights as a
creditor. The Portfolio will enter into swap agreements only with
counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness as determined by
the Advisor's Investment Committee. To the extent that the Portfolio cannot
dispose of a swap in the ordinary course of business within seven days at
approximately the value at which the Portfolio has valued the swap, the
Portfolio will treat the swap as illiquid and subject to its overall limit on
illiquid investments of 15% of the Portfolio's net assets.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and
implementing rules adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC")
currently require the clearing and exchange-trading of the most common types of
credit default index swaps and interest rate swaps, and it is expected that
additional categories of swaps will in the future be designated as subject to
mandatory clearing and trade execution requirements. Central clearing is
intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, but central
clearing does not eliminate these risks completely. There is also a risk of
loss by the Portfolio of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event
of bankruptcy of the FCM with which the Portfolio has an open position, or the
central counterparty in a swap contract. The assets of the Portfolio may not be
fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM or central
counterparty because the Portfolio might be limited to recovering only a pro
rata share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM's
customers.
FUTURES ACTIVITIES:
The Portfolio may enter into commodity, foreign currency, interest rate and
commodity or securities index futures contracts and purchase and write (sell)
related options traded on exchanges designated by the CFTC or, consistent with
CFTC regulations, on foreign exchanges.
5. FUTURES CONTRACTS: A commodity futures contract provides for the future
sale by one party and the future purchase by the other party of a specified
amount of a commodity, such as an energy, agricultural or metal commodity, at a
specified price, date, time and place. A foreign currency futures contract
provides for the future sale by one party and the future purchase by the other
party of a certain amount of a specified non-U.S. currency at a specified
price, date, time and place. An interest rate futures contract provides for the
future sale by one party and the purchase by the other party of a certain
amount of a specific interest rate sensitive financial instrument
217
(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 is a call and a long position if the option is a put). Upon exercise of
an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to
the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated
balance in the writer's futures margin account, which represents the amount by
which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call,
or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the
futures contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on a
futures contract is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus
transaction costs). The value of the option changes daily, and that change is
reflected in the net asset value of the Portfolio.
The Portfolio may enter into options and futures transactions for several
purposes, including generating current income to offset expenses or increase
return, and as hedges to reduce investment risk, generally by making an
investment expected to move in the opposite direction of a portfolio position.
A hedge is designed to offset a loss in a portfolio position with a gain in the
hedged position; at the same time, however, a properly correlated hedge will
result in a gain in the portfolio position being offset by a loss in the hedged
position.

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

I. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit
effective March 30, 2016, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through March 29, 2016. 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 29, 2017.
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 effective January 8, 2016. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 7, 2016. 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 7, 2017.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2016.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the "Order"), the
Portfolio may participate in an interfund lending program among certain
portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do
not participate in the program). The program allows the participating
portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or
emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be
made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more
favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates
available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase
agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order.
Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent
that such participation is consistent with its investment objectives and
limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be
called on one business day's notice. The Portfolio did not utilize the
interfund lending program during the year ended October 31, 2016.
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2016, the Portfolio had a security on loan to a
broker/dealer, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral.
The Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a
liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities
are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by
collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value
of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or
its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to
105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to
foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the
Portfolio's collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If
this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to
ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the
other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral
may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, 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, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio will generally invest
the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in the Money Market
Series, an affiliated registered money market fund advised by the Advisor for
222
which the Advisor receives a management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net
assets of the Money Market Series. The Portfolio also may invest the cash
collateral received for the loaned securities in securities of the U.S.
government or its agencies, repurchase agreements collateralized by securities
of the U.S. government or its agencies, and affiliated and unaffiliated
registered and unregistered money market funds. For purposes of this paragraph,
agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities.
In addition, the Portfolio will be able to terminate the loan at any time and
will receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as amounts equal to any
dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities. However,
dividend income received from loaned securities may not be eligible to be taxed
at qualified dividend income rates.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as
secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and
the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016:

K. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
L. OTHER:
At October 31, 2016, 3 shareholders held 63% of the outstanding shares of
the Portfolio. One or more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which
typically hold shares for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolio through the date that the financial statements were issued and has
determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and
Shareholders of DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio:
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 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") as of October 31, 2016, 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 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 as of October 31, 2016 by
correspondence with the custodian, 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, 2016
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was varied for the period.
Small-cap stocks had positive returns, while large-cap stocks had negative
returns. As measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices, small-cap stocks
outperformed large-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks.

During the period, the performance of the U.S. dollar was mixed when
compared against currencies of other developed markets. In particular, while
the U.S. dollar appreciated significantly against the British pound, it
depreciated significantly against the Japanese yen. Overall, currency
fluctuations detracted from USD-denominated returns in developed markets.

For funds investing in non-US equities traded outside of the U.S. market
time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a fund
and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced
period. The funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S.
market while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 pm London time. The funds
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market
closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2016, these
differences generally benefitted the funds' relative performance.
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 directly.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO
The DFA International Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of
developed ex U.S. large company value stocks by purchasing shares of the DFA
International Value Series, a Master Fund managed by Dimensional that invests
in such securities. Value is measured primarily by price-to-book ratio. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2016, the Master Fund held approximately 500 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were -0.43% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, -0.20% for the Portfolio's Institutional Class
shares, and -2.27% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in developed
ex U.S. equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Master Fund invests primarily in value stocks, while the benchmark
is neutral with regard to value or growth stocks. The Master Fund's emphasis on
deep value stocks contributed positively to its performance relative to the
benchmark, as that segment of the market outperformed for the year. The Master
Fund's emphasis on mid-cap stocks also contributed positively to relative
performance, as those stocks outperformed for the period.
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
Most U.S. equities had positive returns during the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
4.2%. Large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks as measured by the Russell
indices.

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, average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, the total return was 4.54% for the
Portfolio and 4.51% for the S&P 500(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. The
Portfolio's return, net of fees and expenses, outperformed the benchmark. The
Portfolio benefited from a flexible trading approach that helps minimize the
potential negative effects of trading during index reconstitution.

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.

SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room).
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The SEC requires that all funds present their categories of portfolio
holdings in a table, chart or graph format in their annual and semi-annual
shareholder reports, whether or not a Schedule of Investments is utilized. The

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of fifteen
portfolios, two of which, DFA International Value Portfolio and U.S. Large
Company Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), are presented in this section of the
report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports.
The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting
and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial
Services-Investment Companies."
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, 2016, 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.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets
from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates and those differences could be material.
1. SECURITY VALUATION: The Portfolios utilize a fair value hierarchy which
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
three broad levels described below:
. Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities (including equity securities, open-end investment companies,
futures contracts)
. Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices
for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
etc.)
. Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios' own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The Feeder Fund's investment reflects its proportionate interest in the net
assets of the Series. This valuation is classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities held by U.S. Large Company Portfolio, including over-the-counter
securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities
held by the Portfolio that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq
Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sale price or
NOCP for the day, the Portfolio values the securities within the range of the
most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities
is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally,
securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using
their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate,
for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including
restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable,
are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures
243
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be
used if events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as
determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the
net asset value of the Portfolio is calculated. When fair value pricing is
used, the prices of securities used by the Portfolio may differ from the quoted
or published prices for the same securities on their primary markets or
exchanges. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 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, 2016, 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 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 may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a
Director. These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been
invested in shares of the following funds: 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' Fees &
Expenses.
Each Director 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 shall have the right in a notice of election (the
"Notice") to defer the receipt of the Director's deferred compensation until a
date specified by such Director in the Notice, which date may not be sooner
than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year
in which such Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors of the
Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Director's first
deferral election. If a Director who elects to defer fees fails to designate in
the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Director's deferred fee
account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first
business day of January following the year in which the Director ceases to be a
member of the Board (unless the Director files an amended Notice selecting a
different distribution date). As of October 31, 2016, none of the Directors
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 the Portfolios are allocated
using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average
net assets.
Class R2 Shares and Institutional Class Shares have equal rights to assets
and earnings of the 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 investment management
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the U.S. Large
Company Portfolio's and the Feeder Fund's investment management fees were
accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on an effective annual rate
of 0.06% and 0.40%, respectively, of average daily net assets.
244
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (the "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the
Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the
U.S. Large Company Portfolio, and a portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for the
Feeder Fund, will remain in effect through February 28, 2017, and may only be
terminated by the Fund's Board of Directors prior to that date and shall
continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund
or the Advisor. The Fee Waiver Agreement with respect to the total management
fees paid by the Feeder Fund, as described in the notes below, will remain in
effect permanently, unless terminated by the Feeder Fund. For the year ended
October 31, 2016, 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 July 21, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to
permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the DFA
International Value Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the total
management fees paid to the Advisor by the Portfolio, including the
proportionate share of the management fees the Portfolio pays indirectly
through its investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, to 0.40% of the
average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the
"Permanent Fee Waiver"). In addition to the Permanent Fee Waiver, the Advisor
has contractually agreed (including for the time period prior to July 21, 2015)
to assume the direct expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding
management fees and custodian fees), to the extent necessary to limit the
annualized expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses
the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment
companies) to the rate listed above (the "Annualized Expense Ratio"). At any
time that the annualized expenses of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio are less
than the Annualized Expense Ratio identified above, 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 does not cause the annualized
expense ratio of Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Annualized
Expense Ratio identified above. Except, the Portfolio is not obligated to
reimburse the Advisor for fees waived in connection with the Permanent Fee
Waiver.
(2) 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) ("Portfolio Expenses") of the U.S. Large Company
Portfolio so that the Portfolio Expenses, on an annualized basis, do not exceed
the rate listed above as a percentage of the Portfolio's average net assets
(the "Annualized Expense Ratio"). At any time that the annualized Portfolio
Expenses of the Portfolio are less than the Annualized Expense Ratio identified
above, 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 applicable Annualized Expense Ratio identified 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
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 is within
thirty-six months and did not cause the Portfolio's annualized Portfolio
Expenses to exceed the Previous Expense Limitation Amount.

FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES:
Certain Officers and Directors of the Advisor are also Officers and
Directors of the Fund; however, such Officers and Directors (with the exception
of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no compensation from the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the total related amounts paid by the Fund
to the CCO were $31 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each
Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
At October 31, 2016, the total liability for deferred compensation to

U.S. Large Company Portfolio...................... $1,011,088 $539,508
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, 2016,
primarily attributable to net foreign currency gains/losses, foreign capital
gains tax reclass and realized gains on securities considered to be "passive
foreign investment companies", were reclassified to the following accounts.
These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net asset value per
share (amounts in thousands):

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund measures its capital loss
carryforwards annually at October 31, its fiscal year end. Capital loss
carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital
losses incurred by these Portfolios after October 31, 2011 will not be subject
to expiration and will retain their character as either short-term or long-term
capital losses. In addition, such losses must be utilized prior to the losses
incurred in the years preceding enactment. As of October 31, 2016, the
Portfolios had the following capital loss carryforwards available to offset
future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates (amounts

247
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' financial statements. The Portfolios are not aware
of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total
amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next
twelve months. The Portfolios' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal
years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolio's investment objectives and policies, the
Portfolios 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 purchase or sell futures
contracts and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to
adjust market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows
from the Portfolios. The Portfolios, however, do not intend to sell futures
contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. 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.
248
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 Needs Registrant Attribute
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, 2016, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio had the following
outstanding futures contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

I. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit
effective March 30, 2016, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through March 29, 2016. 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 29, 2017.
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 effective January 8, 2016. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 7, 2016. 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 7, 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, borrowings by the Portfolios under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):
WEIGHTED WEIGHTED NUMBER OF INTEREST MAXIMUM AMOUNT
AVERAGE AVERAGE DAYS EXPENSE BORROWED DURING
INTEREST RATE LOAN BALANCE OUTSTANDING* INCURRED THE PERIOD
------------- ------------ ------------ -------- ---------------
U.S. Large Company Portfolio.. 1.08% $30,853 37 $35 $162,576
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2016, that the Portfolio's available line
of credit was utilized.
There were no outstanding borrowings by the Portfolios under the lines of
credit as of October 31, 2016.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the "Order"), the U.S.
Large Company Portfolio may participate in an interfund lending program among
certain portfolios managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder
funds do not participate in the program). The program allows the participating
portfolios to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or
emergency purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be
made through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more
favorable to both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates
available through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase
agreements and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order.
Further, a portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent
that such participation is consistent with
250
its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum
duration of seven days and may be called on one business day's notice. The U.S.
Large Company Portfolio did not utilize the interfund lending program during
the year ended October 31, 2016.
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2016, U.S. Large Company Portfolio had securities on loan
to brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. The
non-cash collateral includes short-and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S.
Government Agency Securities with a market value of $153,436 (amount 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 in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current
market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S.
government or its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market
value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and
(iii) generally equal to 105% of the current market value of the loaned
securities with respect to foreign securities. However, daily market
fluctuations could cause the Portfolio's collateral to be lower or higher than
the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be
adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the
borrower fails to return loaned securities, 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, the 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
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.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as
secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and
the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016:

The Class R2 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.25%
of their annual average net assets to compensate service agents that provide
shareholder servicing, record keeping, account maintenance and other services
to investors in the DFA International Value Portfolio's Class R2 Shares.
251
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 that provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
M. OTHER:
At October 31, 2016, the following number of shareholders held the following
approximate percentages of the Portfolios' outstanding shares. One or more of
the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares for the
benefit of several other underlying investors.

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") as of October 31, 2016, 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 as of October 31, 2016 by
correspondence with the custodian, broker and the transfer agents of the
investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTIFICATION OF SOURCE OF DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO
RULE 19A-1 UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
(UNAUDITED)
As noted in the table provided below, the following Portfolios paid
distributions to shareholders of record that included amounts from net
investment income and return of capital. Please note that this information is
being provided to satisfy certain notice requirements under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and is not being provided for tax reporting purposes. Each
Portfolio will send (or has sent) shareholders a Form 1099-DIV (or a financial
intermediary should provide (or has provided) shareholders with similar
information) for the relevant calendar year informing shareholders how to
report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each Portfolio estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of net
investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the
distributions may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for
example, when some or all of the shareholder's investment in a Portfolio is
returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a
Portfolio's investment performance and should not be confused with yield or
income. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will
reduce a Portfolio's net asset value per share.

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, 2016, the Series held approximately 300
securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than
1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 4.75% for the
Series and 6.37% for the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, the Series' benchmark. 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 had a larger allocation
than the benchmark to lower relative price stocks, which detracted from the
Series' performance relative to the benchmark as the lowest relative price
quartile underperformed. The Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts
(REITs) and utilities detracted from relative performance as REITs and
utilities outperformed most other sectors during the period.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was varied for the period.
Small-cap stocks had positive returns, while large-cap stocks had negative
returns. As measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices, small-cap stocks
outperformed large-cap stocks, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks.

During the period, the performance of the U.S. dollar was mixed when

while the U.S. dollar appreciated significantly against the British pound, it
depreciated significantly against the Japanese yen. Overall, currency
fluctuations detracted from USD-denominated returns in developed markets.

For funds investing in non-US equities traded outside of the U.S. market
time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a fund
and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced
period. The funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S.
market while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 pm London time. The funds
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market
closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2016, these
differences generally benefitted the funds' relative performance.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY SERIES' PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
THE DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE SERIES
The DFA International Value Series is designed to capture the returns of
developed ex U.S. large company value stocks. Value is measured primarily by
price-to-book ratio. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Series held approximately
500 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. In general, average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were -0.10% for the
Series and -2.27% for the MSCI World ex USA Index (net dividends), the Series'
benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in developed ex U.S.
equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The
Series invests primarily in value stocks, while the benchmark is neutral with
regard to value or growth stocks. The Series' emphasis on deep value stocks
contributed positively to its performance relative to the benchmark, as that
segment of the market outperformed for the year. The Series' emphasis on
mid-cap stocks also contributed positively to relative performance, as those
stocks outperformed for the period.
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, 2016, the Series held
approximately 1,500 securities. In general, cash exposure was low throughout
the year with an average cash balance of less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 14.53% for the
Series and 13.21% for the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in the Japanese equity
market rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series'
greater allocation than the benchmark to micro-cap securities had a positive
impact on its performance relative to the benchmark, as micro-caps generally
outperformed other small-cap securities. The Series' outperformance was
partially offset by the exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs),
which outperformed the benchmark.
262
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, 2016, the Series held approximately 850 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, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 16.69% for the
Series and 10.56% for the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Small Cap Index (net
dividends), the Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
Asia Pacific equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of
stocks. The Series' exclusion of small and micro-cap stocks with high relative
price (growth) and low profitability contributed to outperformance relative to
the benchmark, as that segment of the market underperformed. The Series'
holdings of micro-cap securities, which were held at a higher weight than in
the benchmark, outperformed, and also contributed positively to the Series'
relative performance. In addition, due to differences in methodology, the
Series may invest in or hold securities that the benchmark deems to be too
large to be eligible for inclusion; during the period, these securities also
outperformed, contributing to the Series' relative performance.
THE UNITED KINGDOM SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The United Kingdom Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns
of small company stocks in the U.K. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Series held
approximately 320 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were -15.82% for the
Series and -15.89% for the MSCI UK Small Cap Index (net dividends), the Series'
benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in the U.K. equity
market rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series'
overall performance was adversely affected by the British vote on June 23, 2016
to exit the European Union. The Series' investments are denominated primarily
in British pounds, which depreciated approximately 16% from the aftermath of
the vote through October 31, 2016. The Series generally excludes real estate
investment trusts (REITs), which contributed positively to its performance
relative to the benchmark, as REITs in the U.K. underperformed all other
sectors during the period. This was offset by differences between the Series'
and the benchmark's holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, as the
benchmark's holdings in this sector outperformed those of the Series.
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, 2016, the
Series held approximately 1,160 securities in 14 eligible developed European
countries plus Israel. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year
was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 6.10% for the
Series and 2.61% for the MSCI Europe ex UK Small Cap Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in European (excluding
the U.K.) and Israeli equity markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Series' holdings of microcap securities, held at a higher
weight than the benchmark, outperformed and contributed to its performance
relative to the benchmark. In addition, due to differences in methodology, the
Series may invest in or hold securities that the benchmark deems to be too
large to be eligible for inclusion. During the period, the Series' holdings of
these securities outperformed and contributed positively to the Series'
relative performance. The Series generally excludes real estate investment
trusts (REITs), which also contributed positively to relative outperformance,
as REITs underperformed the benchmark.
263
THE CANADIAN SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Canadian Small Company Series is designed to capture the returns of
small company stocks in Canada. The investment strategy is process-driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2016, the Series held
approximately 340 securities. In general, average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 20.77% for the
Series and 15.06% for the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in the Canadian equity
market rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series'
greater allocation than the benchmark to small and micro-cap securities was the
primary driver of outperformance, as those securities generally outperformed.
The Series generally excludes real estate investment trusts (REITs), which
contributed positively to relative performance, as REITs underperformed the
benchmark.
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, 2016, the
Series held approximately 1,000 securities across 21 eligible emerging markets.
In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 11.44% for the
Series and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified approach, performance
was generally determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than by the
behavior of a limited number of stocks. The relative outperformance of the
Series was driven primarily by country allocation differences between the
Series and the benchmark. The Series' lesser allocation to China contributed
positively to its performance relative to the benchmark, as China
underperformed the benchmark during the period. The Series' greater allocation
to Brazil (due to caps on larger countries such as China) also had a positive
impact on relative performance, as Brazil was the strongest-performing country
for the year. In addition, the Series' emphasis on value stocks contributed
positively to relative performance, as that segment of the market outperformed
for the year.
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, 2016, the
Series held approximately 3,600 securities across 17 eligible emerging markets.
In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 14.45% for the
Series and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified approach, performance
was principally determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather than by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The outperformance of the Series
relative to the benchmark was driven primarily by size allocation differences
between the Series and the benchmark. The Series focuses on small-cap stocks
while the benchmark primarily holds large-cap and mid-cap stocks. The small-
and micro-cap holdings of the Series outperformed those of the benchmark. The
Series' lesser allocation to China also contributed positively to relative
performance, as China underperformed the benchmark during the period. The
Series' greater allocation to Brazil also had a positive impact on relative
performance, as Brazil was the strongest-performing country for the year.

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.

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 of the day. 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 within
the range of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on
listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily
traded. Generally, securities issued by open-end management investment
companies are valued using their respective net asset values or public offering
prices, as appropriate, for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE). These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in
the hierarchy.
311
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including
restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable,
are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by
the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Fair value pricing may also be used if
events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as
determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the
net asset value of the Series is calculated. When fair value pricing is used,
the prices of securities used by the 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 Trustees of
the International Equity Portfolios has determined that movements in relevant
indices or other appropriate market indicators, after the close of the Tokyo
Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations
may be unreliable. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily
basis. The fair value pricing by the International Equity Portfolios 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. Over-the-counter
derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, do not require
material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from quoted markets and
are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Series' investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note.
Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary
Schedules of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Series recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As
of October 31, 2016, The Emerging Markets Series and Emerging Markets Small Cap
Series had significant transfers of securities with a total value of $334,768
and $554,874 (in thousands), respectively, that transferred from Level 2 to
Level 1 because fair value procedures were no longer applied.
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.
312
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 Trustee of the Trust may
elect participation in The Fee Deferral Plan for Independent Directors and
Trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, effective January 1, 2002, such Trustees
may defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee.
These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested
in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. 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 Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
Each 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 Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the "Notice")
to defer the receipt of the Trustee's deferred compensation until a date
specified by such Trustee in the Notice, which date may not be sooner than the
earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the year in which
such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees of the Trust; and
(ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee's first deferral
election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to designate in the
Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee's deferred fee account
shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as of the first business
day of January following the year in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of
the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice selecting a different
distribution date). As of October 31, 2016, none of the 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 accounted for on the basis of identified
cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return
of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments
or as a realized gain, respectively. The 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 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.
313
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Series'
investment management 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. The impact of
such credits is generally less than one basis point of each Series' net assets.
During the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses reduced were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
FEES PAID
INDIRECTLY
- ----------
The DFA International Value Series................ $212

The Continental Small Company Series.............. 36
The Canadian Small Company Series................. 13
The Emerging Markets Series....................... 69
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series............. 69
FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES:
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees
of the Trust; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the
Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no compensation from the Trust. For
the year ended October 31, 2016, 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, 2016, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Trustees is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series............................. $478
The DFA International Value Series.......................... 321

E. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Series transactions related to
investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government
securities (amounts in thousands):
PURCHASES SALES
---------- ----------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series........... $4,375,099 $2,884,283
The DFA International Value Series........ 2,247,033 1,472,195

The Canadian Small Company Series......... 264,983 63,519
The Emerging Markets Series............... 408,207 255,204
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series..... 921,870 872,555
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, 2016, 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........... $16,161,109 $6,178,300 $ (588,105) $5,590,195
The DFA International Value Series........ 10,045,899 1,179,180 (1,189,241) (10,061)
The Japanese Small Company Series......... 2,964,544 692,022 (267,614) 424,408
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series..... 1,857,750 330,139 (380,660) (50,521)
The United Kingdom Small Company Series... 1,690,364 319,739 (284,407) 35,332
The Continental Small Company Series...... 3,879,139 1,155,725 (551,479) 604,246
The Canadian Small Company Series......... 1,376,781 117,905 (349,463) (231,558)
The Emerging Markets Series............... 4,047,616 1,441,316 (391,180) 1,050,136
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series..... 5,926,076 1,151,901 (962,233) 189,668
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 Series' tax
positions and has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is
required in any Series' financial statements. The Series are not aware of any
tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The Series' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject
to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
315
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 purchase or sell futures contracts
and options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to adjust
market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from
the Series. The Series, however, do not intend to sell futures contracts to
establish short positions in individual securities. 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, 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.
At October 31, 2016, the following Series had outstanding futures contracts

3. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The International Equity Portfolios may
acquire and sell forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in
the relationship of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange
rate risk). The decision to hedge a Series' currency exposure with respect to a
foreign market will be based primarily on the Series' existing exposure to a
given foreign currency. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value
is recorded by the Series 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 Series 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, 2016, the International Equity Portfolios
had no outstanding forward currency contracts.

H. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM:
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit
effective March 30, 2016, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through March 29, 2016. 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 29, 2017.
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 effective January 8, 2016. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 7, 2016. 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 7, 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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

The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series..... 1.04% 16,966 30 16 92,715
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2016, 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, 2016.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the "Order''), the Series
may participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios
managed by the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not
participate in the program). The program allows the participating portfolios to
borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency
purposes, subject to the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made
through the program if the interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to
both the borrowing and lending portfolios as compared to rates available
through short-term bank loans or investments in overnight repurchase agreements
and money market funds, respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a
portfolio may participate in the program only if and to the extent that such
participation is consistent with its investment objectives and limitations.
lnterfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one
business day's notice.
The Series did not utilize the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2016.
319
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2016, if any, were executed by
the Series pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust
to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the "1940 Act"). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio
securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an
investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered
affiliates by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated
investment advisers), common trustees and/or common officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for compliance with the
requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, cross trades by the Series under Rule
17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2016, each Series had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Series received cash collateral. The
non-cash collateral includes short-and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S.
Government Agency Securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
MARKET OVERINVESTED

The U.S. Large Cap Value Series................... $631,247 --
The DFA International Value Series................ 21,237 --
The Japanese Small Company Series................. 8,397 --

The Continental Small Company Series.............. 4,118 --
The Canadian Small Company Series................. -- $(529)
The Emerging Markets Series....................... 88,488 --
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series............. 382,300 --
Each Series invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a
liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities
are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by
collateral in an amount (i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value
of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or
its agencies, (ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the
loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to
105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to
foreign securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Series'
collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to
occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure
adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other
party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, 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
320
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.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as
secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and
the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016:

K. 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 that provide general
indemnification. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
L. OTHER:
The Series and the Trust are subject to claims and suits that arise from
time to time in the ordinary course of business. 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
321
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
parties appealed the Court's dismissal order to the Second Circuit, and, on
March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal, albeit on the
grounds that the individual creditor plaintiffs' claims are preempted by the
Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. 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.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series
through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined
that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements.
322
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") as of October 31, 2016,
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 as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodians,
brokers and the transfer agent of the investee fund, provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2016
Emerging markets had stronger performance over the period than non-U.S.
developed markets. As measured by the MSCI emerging markets indices, small-cap
stocks underperformed large-cap stocks, and growth stocks outperformed value
stocks.

During the period, the performance of the U.S. dollar was mixed when
compared against the currencies of emerging markets. In particular, while the
U.S. dollar appreciated significantly against the Mexican peso, it also
depreciated significantly against the Brazilian real. Overall, currency
fluctuations benefitted from USD-denominated returns in emerging markets.

For funds investing in non-US equities traded outside of the U.S. market
time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a fund
and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the referenced
period. The funds price foreign exchange rates at the closing of the U.S.
market while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 pm London time. The funds
also may use fair value pricing to price certain portfolio securities at the
closing of the U.S. market, while benchmark indices may use local market
closing prices. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2016, these
differences generally benefitted the funds' relative performance.
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 price-to-book ratio. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October
31, 2016, the Fund held approximately 2,200 securities across 19 eligible
emerging markets. In general, average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Fund's assets.
325
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, total returns were 15.80% for the
Fund and 9.27% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the Fund's
benchmark. As a result of the Fund's diversified investment approach,
performance was generally determined by broad trends in emerging markets rather
than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Fund invests primarily
in low relative price (value) stocks, while the benchmark is neutral with
regard to value or growth stocks. The Fund's emphasis on the lowest relative
price (deep value) stocks contributed positively to its performance relative to
the benchmark, as that segment of the market outperformed for the year,
especially among small-caps. In addition, differences in country allocations
contributed positively to the Fund's relative performance. The Fund held a
lesser allocation to China, which underperformed, and a larger allocation to
Brazil, which outperformed, in each case contributing positively to relative
performance.

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

Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
regulations also require that the Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings
identify each category of investments that are held.
A fund is required to file a complete Schedule of Investments with the SEC
on Form N-CSR within ten days after mailing the annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders. It will be available upon request, without charge, by calling
collect: (512) 306-7400 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,
is provided in compliance with such requirement.

accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial
Services-Investment Companies." The Fund consists of one series.
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair
value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 of the day. International equity
securities are subject to a fair value factor, as described later in this note.
Securities held by the Fund that are listed on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq
Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If there is no last reported sale price or
NOCP for the day, the Fund values the securities within the range of the most
recent quoted bid and asked prices. Price information on listed securities is
taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Generally,
securities issued by open-end management investment companies are valued using
their respective net asset values or public offering prices, as appropriate,
for purchase orders placed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
These securities are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Securities for which no market quotations are readily available (including
restricted securities), or for which market quotations have become unreliable,
are valued in good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by
the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Fair value pricing may also be used if
events that have a significant effect on the value of an investment (as
determined in the discretion of Dimensional Fund Advisors LP) occur before the
net asset value of the Fund is calculated. When fair value pricing is used, the
prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from the quoted or published
prices for the same securities on their primary markets or exchanges. These
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 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
337
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 Trustees of the Fund has
determined that movements in relevant indices or other appropriate market
indicators, after the close of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or the London Stock
Exchange, demonstrate that market quotations may be unreliable. Fair valuation
of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The fair value pricing by
the Fund utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that
data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign
investments). When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the
foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the
investments on their primary markets or exchanges. These securities are
generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Fund are valued using the settlement price
established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations
are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A
valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule
of Portfolio Holdings. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in
those securities.
Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate
and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The
Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of
October 31, 2016, the Fund had significant transfers of securities with a total
value of $995,531 (in thousands), respectively, that transferred from Level 2
to Level 1 because fair value procedures were no longer applied.
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 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 Trustees may
defer payment of all or a portion of their total fees earned as a Trustee.
These deferred amounts may be treated as though such amounts had been invested
in shares of the following funds: U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio; U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio; U.S. 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 Trustees' Fees & Expenses. At October 31, 2016, the
total liability for deferred compensation to Trustees is included in Accrued
Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in
the amount of $508 (in thousands).
Each 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 Trustee shall have the right in a notice of election (the "Notice")
to defer the receipt of the Trustee's deferred compensation until a date
specified by such Trustee in the Notice, which date may not be
338
sooner than the earlier of: (i) the first business day of January following the
year in which such Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees of
the Fund; and (ii) five years following the effective date of the Trustee's
first deferral election. If a Trustee who elects to defer fees fails to
designate in the Notice a time or date as of which payment of the Trustee's
deferred fee account shall commence, payment of such amount shall commence as
of the first business day of January following the year in which the Trustee
ceases to be a member of the Board (unless the Trustee files an amended Notice
selecting a different distribution date). As of October 31, 2016, none of the
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 accounted for on the basis of identified
cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return
of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments
or as a realized gain, respectively. The Fund estimates the character of
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 management
services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund's
investment management 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, 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. The impact of such
credits is generally less than one basis point of the Fund's net assets. During
the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses reduced were $198 (amount in
thousands).
FEES PAID TO OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES:
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Advisor are also Officers and Trustees
of the Fund; however, such Officers and Trustees (with the exception of the
Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO")) receive no compensation from the Fund. For
the year ended October 31, 2016, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to
the CCO were $16 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the Fund are
included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
339
D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund transactions related to
investment securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government
securities (amounts in thousands):
PURCHASES SALES
---------- ----------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund... $1,868,316 $1,845,183
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, 2016, 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... $18,135,039 $2,483,785 $(3,520,905) $(1,037,120)
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 Fund.
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and
options on futures contracts for equity securities and indices to adjust market
exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund.
The Fund, however, does not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short
positions in individual securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the
Fund deposits 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.
340
Subsequent payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on
the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or
payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded daily by the Fund as
unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts
are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the
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 Fund could lose more than the
initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Fund to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit
risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange's
clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the
futures against default.
At October 31, 2016, the Fund had the following outstanding futures
contracts (dollar amounts in thousands):

======= ===== ======
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.
3. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The Fund may acquire and sell forward
currency contracts to hedge against adverse changes in the relationship of the
U.S. dollar to foreign currencies (foreign exchange rate risk). The decision to
hedge the 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 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. At October 31, 2016, the Fund had no outstanding forward currency
contracts.

G. LINE OF CREDIT AND INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM:
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has entered
into a $500 million uncommitted, unsecured discretionary line of credit
effective March 30, 2016, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through March 29, 2016. 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 29, 2017.
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 effective January 8, 2016. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 7, 2016. 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 7, 2017.
342
For the year ended October 31, 2016, borrowings by the Fund under the lines
of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and days):

* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2016, that the Fund's available line of
credit was utilized.
At October 31, 2016, the Fund had loans outstanding in the amount of $11,747
(in thousands).
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC (the "Order"), the Fund may
participate in an interfund lending program among certain portfolios managed by
the Advisor (portfolios that operate as feeder funds do not participate in the
program). The program allows the participating portfolios to borrow money from
and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to
the conditions in the Order. A loan can only be made through the program if the
interfund loan rate on that day is more favorable to both the borrowing and
lending portfolios as compared to rates available through short-term bank loans
or investments in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds,
respectively, as detailed in the Order. Further, a portfolio may participate in
the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent
with its investment objectives and limitations. Interfund loans have a maximum
duration of seven days and may be called on one business day's notice. The Fund
did not utilize the interfund lending program during the year ended October 31,
2016.
H. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2016, if any, were executed by
the Portfolio pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Fund to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"). Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio
securities between series of investment companies, or between a series of an
investment company and another entity, that are or could be considered
affiliates by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated
investment advisers), common directors/ trustees and/or common officers. At its
regularly scheduled meetings, the Board reviews such transactions for
compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7 under
the 1940 Act.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, cross trades by the Portfolio under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
PORTFOLIO PURCHASES SALES REALIZED GAIN (LOSS)

Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund. 6,642 11,567 1,955
I. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2016, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers,
for which the Fund received cash collateral. The non-cash collateral includes
short-and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government Agency Securities
with a market value of $421,691 (amounts 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 in an amount
(i) equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities
with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies,
(ii) generally equal to 102% of the current market value of the loaned
securities with respect to U.S. securities, and (iii) generally equal to 105%
of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign
securities. However, daily market fluctuations could cause the Fund's
collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If this were to
occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to ensure
adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other
party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is
insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities and provided
343
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.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as
secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and
the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of October 31, 2016:

J. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general
indemnification. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience,
the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund
through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined
that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Dimensional Emerging Markets Value
Fund:
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") as of October 31, 2016, 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 as of October 31, 2016 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 composed 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

thereunder.

(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, 2016 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, 2016: $1,408,203
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015: $1,485,185
(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.
