SEE THE INSIDE FRONT COVER FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO YOUR
FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at (888)
576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper
copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary
or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
U.S. equities had mostly positive returns for the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

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, 2019, 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, 2019, total returns were 15.67% for the
Portfolio and 14.33% for the S&P 500(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. The
Portfolio's outperformance relative to the benchmark was primarily due to the
performance of the fixed income component of the Portfolio. The net return of
the fixed income component was more than the financing cost of 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. large-cap securities with increased exposure to stocks with smaller
market capitalization, lower relative price (value), and higher profitability.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 720 securities.
Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 13.13% for the
Portfolio and 14.15% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater exposure to
stocks with smaller relative market capitalizations detracted from performance
relative to the benchmark, as these stocks underperformed their larger
counterparts for
10
the period. With low relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming
high relative price (growth) stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value
stocks also detracted from relative performance. At the sector level, the
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) had a negative
impact on relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.S.
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 managed by Dimensional that invests in such stocks. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with
increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower
relative price (value), and higher profitability within the large-cap value
segment of the U.S. market. As of October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held
approximately 330 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 6.97% for the
Portfolio and 11.21 % 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 by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth) stocks, the Master Fund's greater emphasis on value stocks had a
negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark. At the sector level,
the Master Fund's exclusions of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and
certain utilities also detracted from relative performance, as REITs and
utilities generally outperformed in the U.S.
U.S. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. small- and mid-cap value stocks. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, 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, 2019, total returns were 0.78% for the
Portfolio's Class R1 shares, -0.64% for the Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 0.88%
for the Portfolio's Institutional Class shares, and 3.22% 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's exclusions of real estate investment trusts
(REITs) and certain utilities detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark, as REITs and utilities generally outperformed in the U.S.
Conversely, with mid-caps outperforming small-caps for the period, the
Portfolio's inclusion of mid-caps contributed positively to performance
relative to the small-cap benchmark.
U.S. SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of
U.S. small-cap value stocks. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held
approximately 990 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were -3.04% for the
Portfolio and 3.22% 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. With low

certain utilities also had a negative impact on relative performance, as REITs

U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market capitalization
stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks
relative to the market. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately
2,800 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Portfolio's assets.
11
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.18% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on
small-cap stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as

detracted from relative performance.
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 market capitalization
stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks
relative to the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio and the market. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,900 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, 2019, total returns were 9.78% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% for the Russell 3000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.

detracted from relative performance.
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 market capitalization
stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks
relative to the market. The Portfolio's increased exposure to small-cap and
value stocks may be achieved by decreasing the allocation to or excluding the
largest high relative price (growth) stocks in the U.S. market. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,500 securities. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.92% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on
small-cap stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as
small-caps generally underperformed large-caps for the period. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth) stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value stocks also
detracted from relative performance.
U.S. SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Small Cap Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S.
small-cap stocks. The Portfolio generally excludes stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 2,100 securities. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 1.41% for the
Portfolio and 4.90% 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 stocks
with the lowest profitability and highest relative price detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark, as those stocks outperformed. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) also detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.S.
U.S. MICRO CAP PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group of U.S.
micro-cap companies. The Portfolio generally excludes stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price. The investment strategy is process
12
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,700 securities. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 0.24% for the
Portfolio and 4.90% 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. With micro-caps underperforming
small-caps for the period, the Portfolio's focus on micro-caps detracted from
performance relative to the small-cap benchmark. The Portfolio's exclusion of
real estate investment trusts (REITs) also had a negative impact on relative
performance, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.S.
U.S. HIGH RELATIVE PROFITABILITY PORTFOLIO
The U.S. High Relative Profitability Portfolio seeks to capture the returns
of U.S. large-cap stocks with higher profitability. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher profitability within the large-cap high relative profitability segment
of the U.S. market. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately
240 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 15.88% for the
Portfolio and 14.15% for the Russell 1000(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.

with higher profitability contributed positively to performance relative to the
benchmark, as higher-profitability stocks generally outperformed
lower-profitability stocks.
DFA REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of U.S. real estate securities. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio
held approximately 160 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year
was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 25.64% for the
Portfolio, 14.33% for the S&P 500(R) Index, and 20.72% for the Dow Jones U.S.
Select REIT lndex/SM/, the Portfolio's benchmarks. 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 by the behavior of a limited number of securities. Differences in REIT
eligibility between the Portfolio and the benchmark contributed positively to
the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark, most notably among
tower, net lease, and data center REITs. The Portfolio includes tower, net
lease, and data center REITs, which generally outperformed, whereas the REIT
benchmark typically excludes these securities.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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"
reflects 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred and
three operational portfolios, of which twelve (the "Portfolios") are included
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 the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification
("ASC"),Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
Of the Portfolios, one invests all of its assets in a corresponding series
(the "Feeder Fund"). The Feeder Fund invests all of its assets in a
corresponding series (the "Master Fund") of The DFA Investment Trust Company
("DFAITC"). As of October 31, 2019, the Feeder Fund was the owner of record of
the approximate percentage of the total outstanding shares of the Master Fund
as detailed below:
PERCENTAGE
OWNERSHIP
FEEDER FUND MASTER FUND AT 10/31/19
----------- ----------- -----------
U.S. Large Cap Value The U.S. Large Cap
Portfolio Value Series 86%
To achieve its investment objective, the Feeder Fund invests substantially
all of its assets in the Master Fund as indicated above. The Feeder Fund also
invests in short-term temporary cash investments and futures.
The financial statements of the Master Fund is 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, the
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 use 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,
and 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,
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio and U.S. High Relative Profitability
Portfolio (collectively, the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") including
over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted sale price of the
day. Securities held by the Domestic 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
value the securities within the range of the most recent quoted
74
bid and ask 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 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.
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 Fund) are valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported
by their administrator. The Feeder Fund's investment in the Master Fund
reflects its proportionate interest in the net assets of the 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
Fund). The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
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
ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. To facilitate the translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign
currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two
parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for
settlement generally within two business days. 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 Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio isolates the effect of foreign
currency rate fluctuations 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.
75
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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts
actually received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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 received distributions 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, using 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.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the
Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the
inception of the Portfolios.
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.
The Feeder Fund recognizes its pro-rata shares of net investment income and
realized and unrealized gains/losses on a daily basis from its Master Fund
within DFAITC, which is treated as a partnership 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. Additionally, 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.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio....... 0.20%
U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio............. 0.15%
U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio.............. 0.25%
U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio............... 0.35%
U.S. Small Cap Value Portfolio.............. 0.50%
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio................ 0.17%
U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio................ 0.20%
U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio................ 0.30%
U.S. Small Cap Portfolio.................... 0.35%
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio.................... 0.50%
U.S. High Relative Profitability Portfolio.. 0.20%
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio........ 0.17%
Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreements (each, a "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 Agreements
for the non-Feeder Funds will remain in effect through February 28, 2020, 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. During the
year ended October 31, 2019, 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 assumed expenses (amounts in
thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed
(recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended
October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to
future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected below
(amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the non-feeder Portfolios
listed, is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or
expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before
the date of recovery. With respect to each Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year
waived fees and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio
following such recapture would be less than the expense cap that was in place
when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than
the current expense cap in place for a Portfolio.

Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a
class of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of the
average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly,
the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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 investments
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:
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
1. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The Enhanced U.S. Large Company 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) or to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. The
Enhanced U.S. Large Company Portfolio may hedge some or all of the currency
exposure of its foreign securities by entering into forward currency contracts.
The decision to hedge the Enhanced U.S. Large Company 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. The Enhanced U.S.
Large Company Portfolio typically hedges its foreign currency exposure. Each
contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio
as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements of
Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward
currency contracts. 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 forward currency contracts. 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.
85
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS: Each Portfolio listed below 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 Portfolio. 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. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios
deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount
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 entrance 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 Portfolio 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.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

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 forward currency 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
Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 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 3, 2020.
89
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
J. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 advisor (or affiliated
investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions
entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio....... 275,268
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
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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 with securities
on loan 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted
with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with
other payments to and from borrowers of securities. 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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income
rates.

L. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES:
The Class R1 Shares pay a shareholder servicing fee in an amount up to 0.10%
and 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 U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio Class R1 and Class R2 Shares.
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:
During the year ended October 31, 2019, the following Portfolio realized net
gains (losses) on in-kind redemptions as follows:
DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio. $50,622
O. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
P. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, the following number of shareholders held the

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 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 (the "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 lacked standing to pursue their claims. The parties appealed the
Court's dismissal order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit (the "Second Circuit") and on March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit
affirmed the dismissal, albeit on the grounds that the individual creditor
plaintiffs' claims were preempted by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for
securities transactions. The individual creditor plaintiffs filed a petition
for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the "Supreme
Court"), seeking review of the Second Circuit's ruling. Thereafter, the
individual creditor plaintiffs moved the Second Circuit to review its prior
ruling in light of the Supreme Court's decision in MERIT MANAGEMENT GROUP, LP
v. FTI CONSULTING, INC., 138 S.Ct. 883 (2018) ("Merit Mgmt."), which addressed
the scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. The
Second Circuit agreed to review the matter and withdrew its mandate with
respect to the affirmance of the dismissal order. Consequently, the Supreme
Court dismissed the individual creditor plaintiffs' petition for certiorari.
The Second Circuit's review is pending.
On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the shareholder defendants' motion to
dismiss the claims against them in the Committee Action. The Trustee moved for
leave from the Court to file an amended complaint to assert new constructive
fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants in light of the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Court denied the motion, ruling that the proposed
amendment would unduly prejudice the shareholder defendants and would be futile
because the Trustee's proposed constructive fraudulent transfer claims would be
barred by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions,
notwithstanding the Merit Mgmt. decision. The Trustee appealed the Court's
dismissal order and order denying the Trustee's motion for leave to amend to
the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit appeal is pending.
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 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 borne by The U.S. Large Cap Value Series as incurred and in a
manner similar to any other expenses incurred by The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series.
Q. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,

Portfolio (twelve of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions
Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019,
the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to
as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
Portfolios as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the
investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
COMMODITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the Bloomberg Commodity Index
Total Return returned -2.58%. Precious metals and industrial metals returned
24.13% and 5.49%, respectively. Sectors with negative returns included energy,
agriculture, and livestock, which returned -15.70%, -5.29%, and -4.15%,
respectively.
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. 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 credit quality standards. The
investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities
based on changes in the yield curve. The strategy uses current yields and
identifies favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy
and sell strategies.
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 contracts. The Portfolio's commodity swaps provided
exposure to the 23 commodities included in the benchmark. For the period, the
average duration of the Portfolio's fixed income securities decreased to 0.46
years.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were -1.99% for the
Portfolio and -2.58% for the Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return. The
collateral component of the Portfolio had a longer duration than the
three-month U.S. Treasury bill rate payable in the commodity swap contract. As
such, the Portfolio's longer duration contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark, as term premiums were generally positive. Varying
the expirations of the individual commodity contracts contributed positively to
the Portfolio's performance relative to the benchmark, while varying the
commodity weights and pre-rolling the commodity contracts detracted from
relative performance.

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 and 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"
reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who
started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with
those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making
comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate
expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs
by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples
that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table is 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.

multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period (184),
then divided by the number of days in the year (365) to reflect the

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 one hundred and three 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 the 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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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. These
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. 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
117
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 methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
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
ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. To facilitate this translation, the Portfolio enters into foreign
currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two
parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for
settlement generally within two business days. 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.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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 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 received
distributions 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, using 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.
118
C. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION:
The Subsidiary commenced operations on November 9, 2010. The Portfolio
commenced reporting on a consolidated basis as of such commencement date in
accordance with the accounting principles relating to reporting of a
wholly-owned subsidiary. The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to
commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other investments
by directly investing in those instruments or through investments in the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary participates in the same investment goal as the
Portfolio. The Subsidiary pursues its investment goal by investing in
commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other
investments. The Subsidiary (unlike the Portfolio) may invest without
limitation in these instruments. However, the Subsidiary is otherwise subject
to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment
restrictions as the Portfolio. The portion of the Portfolio's or Subsidiary's
assets exposed to any particular commodity, derivative or other investment will
vary based on market conditions, but from time to time some exposure could be
substantial.
To the extent of the Portfolio's investment through the Subsidiary, it will
be subject to the risks associated with the commodities, derivatives and other
instruments in which the Subsidiary invests. By investing in the Subsidiary,
the 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, 2019, the Portfolio held a $355,833,036 investment in the
Subsidiary, representing 22.53% of the Portfolio's total net 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.

The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the investment
management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the
following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
DFA Commodity Strategy Portfolio. 0.30%
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (the "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive all or a portion of the management fee and to assume the expenses of the
Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of
other funds managed by the Advisor but excluding the expenses that the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities lending cash
collateral in The DFA Short Term Investment Fund 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, 2020, 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. Prior year
waived fees and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio
following such recapture would be less than the
119
expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or
expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in place for the
Portfolio. As of October 31, 2019, there were no previously waived
fees/expenses assumed 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, 2019, approximately $1,108 (in thousands) of
the Subsidiary's management fees were waived pursuant to the Subsidiary fee
waiver agreement.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Portfolio has entered into an arrangement with its
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of the Portfolio's custody expenses. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.
The impact of such credits is generally less than one basis point of the
Portfolio's net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, expenses
reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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, 2019, the total related amount paid by the Fund
to the CCO was $312 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the
Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gains
or losses, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, primarily
attributable to adjustments between financial and tax reporting related to the
Subsidiary, the use 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
accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets
or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows

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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had the following capital

ASC 740 ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES sets forth a minimum
threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the
Portfolio's tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for
income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements. The Portfolio
is not aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the
total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the
next twelve months. The Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three
fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and policies, the
Portfolio may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance
sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their
significant corresponding risks are described below:
1. FOREIGN MARKET RISKS: Investments in foreign markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the
United States of America, including the possibility of future political and
economic developments and the level of foreign governmental supervision and
regulation of foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller,
less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United
States of America. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of international
securities held by the Portfolio may be inhibited.
122
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 of forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency
contracts.
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
two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for
periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard "swap"
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in
rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or
instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. In an uncleared
swap, the swap counterparty is typically a brokerage firm, bank or other
financial institution. In a cleared swap, the Portfolio's ultimate counterparty
is a central clearinghouse rather than a brokerage firm, bank or other
financial institution.
An investment in a commodity swap agreement may involve the exchange of
floating-rate interest payments for the total return on a commodity index. In a
total return commodity swap, the Portfolio will receive the price appreciation
of a commodity index, a portion of the index, or a single commodity in exchange
for paying an agreed-upon fee. The Portfolio may also enter into credit default
swap agreements. The "buyer" in a credit default contract is obligated to pay
the "seller" a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract
provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation
(whether as a single debt instrument or as part of an index of debt
instruments) 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.
123
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 reasonably
expects a swap cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in
seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly
changing the market value of investment, 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.
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had non-cash collateral consisting of
short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries pledged as collateral for swap
agreements as follows (amount in thousands):

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 (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
124
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.
The Subsidiary's securities have been segregated as collateral for open
futures contracts.

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 forward currency 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.

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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolio under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2019.
128
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had a security on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral.
The Portfolio invests the cash collateral, as described below, and records a
liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities
are on loan. Loans of securities are expected at all times to be secured by
collateral 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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 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. Income received from the Money
Market Series is netted with fees for securities lending and collateral
investment expenses and with other payments to and from borrowers of
securities. 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 or unaffiliated money market funds that are
registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include
both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation 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, 2019:

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolio's early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
M. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, the following number of shareholders held the
following approximate percentages 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.

The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes
130
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.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolio through the date on which 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
OPINION ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and
liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, 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, 2019, the related consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the consolidated statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31,
2019, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively
referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Portfolio's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect
to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in
accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether
due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned
as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the
transfer agent of the investee fund. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

approximately 13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks
underperformed large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap
universe, underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as
measured by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth 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. As of October 31, 2019,
the Portfolio held approximately 500 securities. Average cash exposure
throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 14.29% for
the Portfolio and 14.33% for the S&P 500(R) Index, the Portfolio's benchmark.
The Portfolio performed in line with the benchmark before fees and expenses.

DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.
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 and 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" reflects
the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started
with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with
the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the
period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by
the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with those
of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons
because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a
5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs by comparing this
hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in
shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP,
6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 used. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.

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 twelve
portfolios, one of which, the U.S. Large Company Portfolio (the "Portfolio"),
is presented 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
the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards
Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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)
Securities held by the 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 ask 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 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.
144
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 Summary
Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Directors have
requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
3. OTHER: 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 received distributions 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolio's
investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor
based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
U.S. Large Company Portfolio. 0.06%
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
Portfolio, as described in the notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the
Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2020, 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. During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had
expense limits based on a percentage of average net assets on an annualized
basis, and the Advisor recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses
(amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses
assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year
ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject
to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected
below (amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is not
obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived
145
or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months
before the date of recovery. With respect to the Fee Waiver Agreement, prior
year expenses can be recaptured only if the current expense ratio is less than
the prior year expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees were
waived and/or expenses assumed.

(1)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 is within thirty-six months and will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to exceed the applicable
Annualized Expense Ratio identified above.
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, 2019, the total related amounts paid by the Fund
to the CCO were $30 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the
Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
As of October 31, 2019, the total liability for deferred compensation to

F. 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 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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains
or losses, or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the
differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31,
2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

2019......................... 154,842 59,465 -- 214,307
As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term
capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal
income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):

-------------- ------------- -------------- -------------
U.S. Large Company
Portfolio......... $29,212 $49,422 $5,600,114 $5,678,748
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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio did not have capital loss
carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through
October 31 of the indicated expiration dates, as applicable.
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
---------- ------------ -------------- --------------
U.S. Large Company
Portfolio........... $4,262,503 $5,758,645 $(158,548) $5,600,097
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolio's investment objectives and policies, the
Portfolio may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance
sheet risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
concentrations of credit and market risk. These instruments and their
significant corresponding risks are described below:
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolio.
1. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Portfolio, however, does not intend to sell futures
contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. Upon entering
into a futures contract, the Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S. government
securities to a broker, equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of
the exchange on which the contract is traded to a broker. 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
148
the Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed.
When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss,
which is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or
loss on futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at
the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance 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 Portfolio could lose more than
the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Portfolio to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty
credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the
exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures,
guarantees the futures against default.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amount
in thousands):

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the Portfolio 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, 2019, that the Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
150
I. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which the Portfolio received cash collateral. In addition,
the Portfolio received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or
long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
U.S. Large Company
Portfolio......... $99,880
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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for
securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments
to and from borrowers of securities. 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 or unaffiliated money
market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this
paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed
securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation 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, 2019:

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolio's early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
L. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no other subsequent events requiring recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Shareholders
of U.S. Large Company Portfolio
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of U.S. Large Company Portfolio
(one of the portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc.,
hereafter referred to as the "Portfolio") as of October 31, 2019, the related
statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31,
2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as
the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio's
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian, broker and the transfer agent of the
investee fund. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
U.S. equities had mostly positive returns for the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE SERIES
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series is designed to capture the returns of U.S.
large company low relative price (value) stocks. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher profitability within the large-cap value segment of the U.S. market. As
of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 330 securities. Average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.15% for the
Series and 11.21% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. With low relative price (value)
stocks generally underperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the
Series' greater emphasis on value stocks detracted from performance relative to
the benchmark. At the sector level, the Series' exclusions of real estate
investment trusts (REITs) and certain utilities also detracted from relative
performance, as REITs and utilities generally outperformed in the U.S.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
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 and 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" reflects
the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started
with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with
the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the
period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by
the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with those
of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons
because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a
5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs by comparing this
hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in
shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP,
6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 used. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
The DFA Investment Trust Company (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Trust consists of eleven portfolios, one of which, The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series (the "Series"), is included in this section of the report. The remaining
operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The Series is an
investment company, and accordingly, follows the accounting and reporting
guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting
Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment
Companies."
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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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 Series, including over-the-counter securities, are
valued at the last quoted sale price of the day. Securities held by the Series
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
Series values the securities within the range of the most recent quoted bid and
ask 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 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 Series 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 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.
165
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 methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Trustees have requested or received
a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
3. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities and foreign currency are 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 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 estimates the
character of received distributions 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, using the effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable
to the 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2019, 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%
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, 2019, the total related amounts paid by the Trust to
the CCO were $73 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of the
Series are included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
166
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
As of October 31, 2019, 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 (amount in thousands):
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. $680
E. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Series' transactions related to
investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind redemptions
and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands), were as follows:
PURCHASES SALES
---------- ----------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. $3,093,702 $2,922,384

======== ========== ========== === === ======== ====== ======= ======
F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Series 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 its partners.
As of October 31, 2019, 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

----------- ------------ -------------- --------------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. $22,130,188 $9,582,563 $(1,569,086) $8,013,477
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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 the Series'
167
financial statements. The Series 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 Series' federal tax
returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the
Internal Revenue Service.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Series' investment objectives and policies, the
Series may invest in certain financial instruments that have off-balance sheet
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements and
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 Series.
1. 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, does not intend to sell futures contracts to
establish short positions in individual securities. Upon entering into a
futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government
securities to a broker in an amount 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 records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement
of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance 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. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Series to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit
risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange's
clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the
futures against default.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amount

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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
There were no borrowings by the Series under the lines of credit during the
year ended October 31, 2019.
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.
Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one
business day's notice.
The Series did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended
October 31, 2019.
169
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled
meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered
into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board
of Trustees of the Trust.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Series under Rule
17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, the Series had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which the Series received cash collateral. In addition,
the Series received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term
U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amount in
thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
The U.S. Large Cap Value Series. $337,733
The 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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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, the
Series 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 Series will generally invest
the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term
Investment Fund (the "Money Market Series"), an affiliated registered money
market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management
fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. The 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 or unaffiliated money market funds
that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies
include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities.
Additionally, the Series will be
170
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 for taxation 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, 2019:

K. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Series' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
M. 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 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 (the "Trustee") on behalf of the committee of
unsecured creditors of Tribune (the
171
"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 United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit (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 individual creditor plaintiffs filed a petition
for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the "Supreme
Court"), seeking review of the Second Circuit's ruling. Thereafter, the
individual creditor plaintiffs moved the Second Circuit to review its prior
ruling in light of the Supreme Court's decision in MERIT MANAGEMENT GROUP, LP
v. FTI CONSULTING, INC., 138 S.Ct. 883 (2018) ("Merit Mgmt."), which addressed
the scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. The
Second Circuit agreed to review the matter and withdrew its mandate with
respect to the affirmance of the dismissal order. Consequently, the Supreme
Court dismissed the individual creditor plaintiffs' petition for certiorari.
The Second Circuit's review is pending.
On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the shareholder defendants' motion to
dismiss the claims against them in the Committee Action. The Trustee moved for
leave from the Court to file an amended complaint to assert new constructive
fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants in light of the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Court denied the motion, ruling that the proposed
amendment would unduly prejudice the shareholder defendants and would be futile
because the Trustee's proposed constructive fraudulent transfer claims would be
barred by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions,
notwithstanding the Merit Mgmt. decision. The Trustee appealed the Court's
dismissal order and order denying the Trustee's motion for leave to amend to
the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit appeal is pending.
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 borne by The U.S. Large Cap Value Series as incurred and in a
manner similar to any other expenses incurred by The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series
through the date on which 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 of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders
of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of The U.S. Large Cap Value Series
(one of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter
referred to as the "Series") as of October 31, 2019, the related statement of
operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Series as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series' financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian, broker and the transfer agent of the
investee fund. We believe that our audits 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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a
Trustee/Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as
well as other recent professional experience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at (888)
576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper
copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary
or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
LARGE CAP INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The Large Cap International Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S. large
company stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. with increased exposure to stocks with smaller total market
capitalizations, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability
stocks within the large-cap segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 1,400 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.38% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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 stocks with smaller relative market
capitalizations and consequent lesser allocation to stocks with larger market
capitalizations had a negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark,
as these stocks underperformed their larger counterparts. At the sector level,
the Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) had a
negative impact on relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in
developed ex U.S. markets.
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, lower relative price (value), and higher
profitability. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 5,300
securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.67% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% for the MSCI
16
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. With small-cap stocks
underperforming large-cap stocks in developed ex U.S. markets for the period,
the Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on small-caps had a negative impact
on performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed primarily of large-
and mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on low relative price
(value) stocks also detracted from relative performance, as value stocks
underperformed high relative price (growth) stocks.
GLOBAL SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The Global Small Company Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of
global small company stocks by purchasing shares of seven funds (which shall be
collectively referred to below as the "Underlying Funds") managed by
Dimensional that individually invest in Canada, the United States, the
United Kingdom, Europe (including Israel and excluding the U.K.), Japan, the
Asia Pacific region (ex Japan), and emerging markets. The Underlying Funds
generally exclude stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative
price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Underlying Funds collectively held
approximately 10,600 securities in 41 eligible developed and emerging markets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.29% for the
Portfolio and 8.03% for the MSCI All Country World Small Cap 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 by the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Underlying Funds' greater emphasis on stocks with smaller
market capitalizations had a negative impact on performance relative to the
benchmark, as these stocks underperformed. At the sector level, the Underlying
Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from
relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The International Small Company Portfolio invests in 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 Portfolio generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and
highest relative price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Master Funds collectively
held approximately 4,400 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 6.44% for the
Portfolio and 8.61% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Funds' 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. At the sector level, the Master Funds' exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark, as REITs generally outperformed in developed ex U.S. markets. With
micro-caps underperforming small-caps for the period, the Master Funds' greater
allocation to micro-cap stocks also detracted from relative performance.
JAPANESE SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The Japanese Small Company Portfolio invests in 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 Master Fund
generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative
price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held approximately
1,800 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.01% for the
Portfolio and 9.31% 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 allocations to small- and micro-caps
17
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks with smaller
market capitalizations underperformed. The Master Fund's exclusion of stocks
with the lowest profitability and highest relative price had a negative impact
on relative performance, as those stocks outperformed. At the sector level, the
Master Fund's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from
relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in Japan.
ASIA PACIFIC SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The Asia Pacific Small Company Portfolio invests in 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 Master Fund generally excluded stocks with the
lowest profitability and highest relative price. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Master Fund held approximately 810 securities in 4 eligible countries. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.81% for the
Portfolio and 11.11% 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 equity markets rather than by the behavior of a
limited number of stocks. The Master Fund's greater emphasis on stocks with
smaller market capitalizations detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark, as small-caps underperformed mid-caps in Asia Pacific (ex Japan)
markets for the year. At the sector level, the Master Fund's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) also detracted from relative performance, as
REITs generally outperformed in Asia Pacific (ex Japan) markets. The Master
Fund's exclusion of stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative
price had a negative impact on relative performance, as those securities also
outperformed.
UNITED KINGDOM SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio invests in 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 Master
Fund generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest
relative price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held approximately 350
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.14% for the
Portfolio and 9.41% for the MSCI United Kingdom 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 exclusion of stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark, as those securities underperformed for the year.
Conversely, at the sector level, the Master Fund's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts (REITs) detracted from relative performance, as REITs
generally outperformed in the U.K.
CONTINENTAL SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
The Continental Small Company Portfolio invests in 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 Master Fund generally excluded
stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held approximately 1,100 securities in 15
eligible countries. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.94% for the
Portfolio and 6.25% for the MSCI Europe ex U.K. 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 eligible markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
number of stocks. The Master Fund and its benchmark use different methodologies
to determine which small-cap stocks are eligible for purchase or to hold. This
methodology variance led to country-by-country differences between the maximum
market capitalization of small-cap stocks bought and held by the
18
Master Fund relative to the benchmark, which in turn led to differences in
holdings between the Master Fund and the benchmark. These holdings differences
contributed positively to the Master Fund's performance relative to the
benchmark. The Master Fund's exclusion of stocks with the lowest profitability
and highest relative price also contributed positively to relative performance,
as those securities underperformed for the year. Conversely, at the sector
level, the Master Fund's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs)
detracted from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in
eligible markets.
GLOBAL REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Publicly traded global real estate investment trusts (REITs) had positive
returns for the period. REITs generally outperformed U.S., developed non-U.S.,
and emerging markets equities. The U.S. REIT market, the world's largest, had
positive performance for the period but underperformed non-U.S. REITs. Among
non-U.S. REIT markets, Israel, Greece, and Thailand were among the strongest
performers, while Turkey, the Netherlands, and Italy lagged. At the REIT
industry level, industrial and residential REITs generally outperformed, while
hotel and resort REITs and retail REITs generally underperformed.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. REITs and REIT-like securities traded
outside of the U.S. market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and
methodology between a Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative
performance over the referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange
rates at the closing of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use
rates at 4 p.m. London time. The Portfolios 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, 2019, these differences generally detracted from the
Portfolios' relative performance.
DFA INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA International Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified portfolio of real estate securities in developed ex U.S. and
emerging markets. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 280
securities in 21 eligible developed ex U.S. and emerging markets. Average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 22.54% for the
Portfolio and 22.87% for the S&P Global ex US REIT Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was generally determined by broad trends in international
real estate securities markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number
of stocks. Countries included in the benchmark but not in the Portfolio,
particularly Thailand, generally outperformed, detracting from the Portfolio's
relative performance.
DFA GLOBAL REAL ESTATE SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of real estate securities in domestic and international
markets, including emerging markets. As of the date of this report, the
Portfolio's investments included the DFA International Real Estate Securities
Portfolio, the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio, and individual securities.
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held, either directly or through the
underlying portfolios, approximately 440 securities in 22 eligible developed
and emerging markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than
1% of the Portfolio's assets.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 24.55% for the
Portfolio and 21.68% for the S&P Global REIT Index (net dividends), the
Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Portfolio's diversified investment
approach, performance was generally determined by broad trends in global real

Portfolio's broader inclusion of specialized REITs had a positive impact on
performance relative to the benchmark as did withholding tax rate differences

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
DFA INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
The DFA International Small Cap Value Portfolio invests in small-cap value
stocks in developed ex U.S. markets, with an emphasis on those with higher
profitability. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,100
securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.94% for the
Portfolio and 8.61% 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. With low relative price (value) stocks underperforming high
relative price (growth) stocks, the Portfolio's focus on value stocks detracted
from performance relative to the style neutral benchmark. At the sector level,
the Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) also had a
negative impact on relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in
developed ex U.S. markets.

INTERNATIONAL VECTOR EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The International Vector 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, lower relative price (value), and higher
profitability. The Portfolio's increased exposure to small capitalization and
value stocks may be achieved by decreasing the allocation to or excluding the
largest high relative price (growth) stocks in developed ex U.S. markets. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 4,700 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.49% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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. With small-cap stocks underperforming large-cap stocks in developed ex
U.S. markets for the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on
small-caps had a negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark,
which is composed primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio's
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks also detracted from
relative performance, as value stocks underperformed high relative price
(growth) stocks.
INTERNATIONAL HIGH RELATIVE PROFITABILITY PORTFOLIO
The International High Relative Profitability Portfolio invests in developed
ex U.S. large-cap stocks with higher profitability. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller total market capitalizations, lower relative price (value),
and higher-profitability within the large-cap high relative profitability
segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio
held approximately 560 securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 13.19% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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 focus on stocks with higher profitability contributed
positively to performance relative to the benchmark, as higher-profitability
stocks generally outperformed lower-profitability stocks within the large-cap
segment of the market for 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. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio, directly and through the Underlying Funds, held approximately 5,100
securities in 41 eligible developed ex U.S. and emerging markets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.75% for the
Portfolio and 11.27% 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' focus on low
relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on performance relative to
the style-neutral benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed high
relative price (growth) stocks globally. With small-caps underperforming
large-caps globally for the period, the Underlying Funds' inclusion of and
greater emphasis on small-cap stocks also detracted from performance relative
to the benchmark which is composed primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks.
WORLD EX U.S. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests in small- and mid-cap
value stocks in developed ex U.S. and
22
emerging markets, with an emphasis on those with higher profitability. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 4,200 securities in 40
eligible developed ex U.S. and emerging markets. Average cash exposure
throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.99% for the
Portfolio and 8.77% 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. With low relative price (value) stocks
underperforming high relative price (growth) stocks in developed ex U.S.
markets, the Portfolio's focus on value stocks detracted from performance
relative to the style-neutral benchmark. At the sector level, the Portfolio's
exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) also had a negative impact
on relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in developed ex U.S.
and emerging markets.
WORLD EX U.S. CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of stocks in developed ex U.S. and emerging markets with increased
exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative price
(value), and higher profitability. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held
approximately 9,200 securities in 43 eligible developed ex U.S. and emerging
markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.64% for the
Portfolio and 11.27% 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. With small-cap stocks
underperforming large-cap stocks in developed ex U.S. and emerging markets for
the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on small-caps had a
negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed
primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on low
relative price (value) stocks also detracted from relative performance, as
value stocks underperformed high relative price (growth) stocks in developed ex
U.S. and emerging markets.
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, 2019, the Underlying Funds collectively held more than 13,300
equity securities in 44 eligible developed and emerging markets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 9.94% for the
Portfolio and 12.59% 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 by the behavior of a limited group of stocks.
With small-caps underperforming large-caps globally for the period, the
Underlying Funds' inclusion of and emphasis on small-cap stocks detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark (which is composed primarily of large-
and mid-cap stocks). With low relative price (value) stocks generally
underperforming high relative price (growth) stocks globally, the Underlying
Funds' greater emphasis on value stocks also had a negative impact on relative
performance.
SELECTIVELY HEDGED GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a combination of other 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
23
currency premiums. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Underlying Funds collectively held
approximately 13,100 securities in 44 eligible developed and emerging markets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.10% for the
Portfolio and 12.59% 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 by the behavior of a limited group of stocks
in a particular industry or country) and by the effect of the Portfolio's
currency hedging activity. With small-caps underperforming large-caps globally
for the period, the Underlying Funds' inclusion of and emphasis on small-cap
stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark (which is composed
primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks). With low relative price (value) stocks
generally underperforming high relative price (growth) stocks globally, the
Underlying Funds' greater emphasis on value stocks also had a negative impact
on relative performance. The Portfolio's strategy of selectively hedging
foreign currency exposure contributed positively to performance relative to the
benchmark (which does not hedge currency exposure), as the U.S. dollar
generally strengthened against the currencies to which the Portfolio had hedged
its exposure.
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Portfolio invests in large-cap stocks in emerging
markets 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 with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher-profitability within the large-cap segment of emerging markets. As of
October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held approximately 1,200 securities in 21
eligible emerging markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.06% for the
Portfolio and 11.86% 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's greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative
impact on performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks in emerging markets for the period.
EMERGING MARKETS SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio invests in small company stocks in
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 generally excludes stocks with the lowest profitability and highest
relative price. The Master Fund's investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Master Fund held
approximately 4,200 securities in 18 eligible emerging markets. Average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 12.96% for the

Portfolio's benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment
approach, performance was principally determined by broad trends in emerging
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Master
Fund's greater allocations to Taiwan and Brazil had a positive impact on
relative performance, as small-caps in Taiwan and Brazil outperformed for the
period.

the Master Fund's inclusion of small-caps also detracted from performance

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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" reflects
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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred and
three operational portfolios, of which twenty-three (the "Portfolios") are
included 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 the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"),
Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
Of the Portfolios, seven invest all of their assets in a corresponding
series or fund (each such Portfolio, a "Feeder Fund"). Of the Feeder Funds, six
invest all of their assets in a corresponding series of The DFA Investment
Trust Company ("DFAITC") and one invests all of its assets in the Dimensional
Emerging Markets Value Fund ("DEM") (each such series within DFAITC and DEM, a
"Master Fund"). Six of the Portfolios generally allocate their assets among
other funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (each such Portfolio, a
"Fund of Funds"). The International Small Company Portfolio invests in five
Master Funds within DFAITC. The Global Small Company Portfolio invests in six
Master Funds within DFAITC and one underlying fund within the Fund (each such
underlying fund within the Fund, an "Underlying Fund"). The DFA Global Real
Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds within the Fund and
directly in securities. The World ex U.S. Value Portfolio invests in three
Master/Underlying Funds within the Fund, DFAITC, and DEM. The World Core Equity
Portfolio and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio each invest in three
Underlying Funds within the Fund. As of October 31, 2019, the following
Portfolios were the owner of record of the following approximate percentages of
the total outstanding shares of the following Master/Underlying Funds as
detailed below:

* DFA Global Real Estate Securities Portfolio invests in two Underlying Funds
as indicated and securities listed on its Summary Schedule of Investments.
To achieve its investment objective, each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds
invests substantially all of its assets in corresponding Master and/or
Underlying Funds as indicated above. The DFA Global Real Estate Securities
Portfolio may pursue its investment objective by investing its assets in its
Underlying Funds and/or directly in securities of companies in the real estate
industry. Each Feeder Fund and Fund of Funds also invests in short-term
temporary cash investments and futures. In addition, each 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, the
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 use 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,
and 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)
126
Securities held by 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, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, International High Relative Profitability Portfolio and Emerging
Markets Targeted Value 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 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 International Equity Portfolios value the securities within the range of
the most recent quoted bid and ask 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 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 at which 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 pricing of the International Equity
Portfolios' 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 calculated
closing prices of the foreign investments 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 uses 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.
127
Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the
Master/Underlying Funds) are valued at their respective daily net asset values
as reported by their administrator. The Feeder Funds', International Small
Company Portfolio's, Global Small Company Portfolio's and World ex U.S. Value
Portfolio's investments in series of either DFAITC or DEM reflect their
proportionate interest in the net assets of such corresponding Master Fund(s).
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 methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
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
ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable
sources. To facilitate the translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign
currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two
parties to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for
settlement generally within two business days. 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 foreign
exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices
of securities, whether realized or unrealized. However, the Selectively Hedged
Global Equity Portfolio does isolate the effect of foreign currency rate
fluctuations 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 of
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 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
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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
128
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, 2019, 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 received distributions 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, using 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.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the
Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the
inception of the Portfolios.
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.
The Feeder Funds, International Small Company Portfolio, Global Small
Company Portfolio, and World ex U.S. Value Portfolio recognize their pro-rata
shares of net investment income and realized and unrealized gains/losses on a
daily basis from their respective Master Fund(s) 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. Additionally, 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 Portfolio, Emerging Markets Small Cap Portfolio,
Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, World ex U.S. Core Portfolio, Emerging
Markets Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio are
subject to tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes
are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the

Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreements (each, a "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 Agreements
for the non-Feeder Funds, and a portion of the Fee Waiver Agreement for certain
Feeder Funds below, will remain in effect through February 28, 2020, 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 Funds, as described in the notes below, will remain in
effect permanently, unless terminated by a Feeder Fund. During the year ended
October 31, 2019, 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 assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below.
The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived
fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the
previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the
Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected below (amounts in
thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the non-feeder Portfolios listed, is not
obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses
previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date
of recovery. With respect to each Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year waived fees
and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following
such recapture would be less than the expense cap that was in place when such
prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current
expense cap in place for a Portfolio. With respect to the World ex U.S. Value
Portfolio, World ex U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, World Core Equity Portfolio
and Selectively Hedged Global Equity Portfolio, the Advisor shall also not be
reimbursed for any management fees previously waived to offset a Portfolio's
proportionate share of the management fees paid by such Portfolio through its
investment in other funds managed by the Advisor.

extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio
to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of a
class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the
Portfolio are less than 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 is within thirty-six months and will not cause the annualized
Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the
applicable Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above. Prior to July 21,
2015, the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive its administration fee
and to assume Portfolio Expenses to the extent necessary to limit the
Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio, on an annualized basis, to the Expense

(4)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

the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its investment of
securities lending cash collateral in the Money Market Series, to 0.50% of
the average net assets of a class of a Portfolio on an annualized basis (the
"Permanent Fee Waiver"). In addition to the Permanent Fee Waiver, the
Advisor has contractually agreed to further waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the other direct expenses of a class of each
Portfolio (excluding expenses incurred through its investment in other
investment companies managed by the Advisor) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the
extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of each class of a

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
annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to
exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above. Except, a

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. Prior to February 28, 2015, the Advisor had
contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and to
assume the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses to 0.65% of the Portfolio's average net assets
on an annualized basis.
(6)Effective February 28, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive
all or a portion of its management fee and to assume the expenses of the
Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder
of its Master/Underlying Funds but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through investment of its securities lending cash
collateral in the Money Market Series and its investment in unaffiliated
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a
percentage 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 listed above, 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. From
February 28, 2012 to February 27, 2015, the Advisor had contractually agreed
to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee and to assume the Portfolio
Expenses of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio
Expenses to 0.32% of the Portfolio's average net assets on an annualized
basis.
(7)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the
Portfolio's management fee of 0.47% to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in its Master/Underlying Funds, except for the fees paid through
its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money Market
Series. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor also has
agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fee that remains payable
by the Portfolio (i.e., the management fee remaining after the proportionate
share of the Master/Underlying Funds' management fees have been offset (the
"Remaining Management Fee")) to the extent necessary to reduce the
Portfolio's ordinary operating expenses (including expenses incurred through
its investment in other investment companies but excluding the expenses that
the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities lending
cash collateral in the Money Market Series) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the
rate listed above as a percentage of average net assets on an annualized
basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). The maximum amount that may be
waived to limit Portfolio Expenses is the amount of the Remaining Management
Fee. Further, at any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Portfolio are
less than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount listed above, the
Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such
reimbursement is within thirty-six months and will not cause the Portfolio's
annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Portfolio's Expense Limitation
Amount, as listed above.

(8)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the
Portfolio's management fee of 0.58% to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in its Master/Underlying Funds, except for the fees paid through
its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money Market
Series. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor has also
agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fee and to assume the
ordinary operating expenses of a class of the Portfolio (including expenses
incurred through its investment in other investment companies but excluding
the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its
securities lending cash collateral in the Money Market Series) ("Portfolio
Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a
class of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of the
average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the
"Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a
class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such
class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to seek reimbursement
for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the
extent that such reimbursement is within thirty-six months and will not
cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the
Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed above.
(9)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the expenses of a class of the Portfolio
(including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of its
Master/ Underlying Funds but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through its investment of its securities lending cash
collateral in the Money Market Series and its investment in unaffiliated
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the rate listed
above as a percentage of average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on
an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount for such class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the
right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement is within
thirty-six months and will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for

Amount, as listed above.
(10)Effective February 28, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive
up to the full amount of the Portfolio's management fee of 0.30% to the
extent necessary to offset the proportionate share of the management fees
paid by the Portfolio through its investment in its Master/Underlying
Funds, except for the fees paid through its investment of securities
lending cash collateral in the Money Market Series (including the
Portfolio's proportionate share of any management fees that a
Master/Underlying Fund paid through its investment in an affiliated cash
management fund). In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor
has also agreed to assume the expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the
extent necessary to reduce the ordinary operating expenses (including
expenses incurred through its investment in other investment companies but
excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
investment of its securities lending cash collateral in the Money Market
Series) ("Portfolio Expenses") of a class of the Portfolio so that such
Portfolio Expenses do not exceed the rate listed above as a percentage of
the average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis
(the "Expense Limitation Amount"). From June 27, 2014 to February 27, 2019,
the Expense Limitation Amount was 0.35% of the average net assets of such
class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. Prior to June 27, 2014, the
Expense Limitation Amount was 0.40% of the average net assets of such class
of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. At any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation
Amount for such class of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the
right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously
assumed to the extent that such recovery is within thirty-six months and
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares
of the Portfolio to exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount.
(11)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the
Portfolio's management fee of 0.30% to the extent necessary to offset the

Market Series. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor has

investment in other investment companies but excluding the expenses that
the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities
lending cash collateral in the Money Market Series) ("Portfolio Expenses")
of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a percentage of average net
assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense
Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of
the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such class of
the Portfolio listed above, the Advisor retains the right to seek
reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously
assumed to the extent that such reimbursement is within thirty-six months
and will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of
shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount, as listed
above.
(12)Effective July 21, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to
permanently waive all or a portion of the management fee of the 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, except for the fees paid indirectly
through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money
Market Series, to 0.42% of the average net assets of a class of the
Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Permanent Fee Waiver"). Effective

companies managed by the Advisor) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent
necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of each class of the Portfolio to
the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of a class
of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount").
At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are
less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such class of shares of the
Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares
of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount. Except, the
Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees waived in
connection with the Permanent Fee Waiver.
(13)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, except for the fees paid indirectly through its
investment of securities lending cash collateral in The DFA Short Term
Investment Fund (the "Money Market Series"), to the rate listed above as a
percentage of the average net assets of a class of a Portfolio on an
annualized basis.
(14)Effective July 21, 2015, the Advisor has contractually agreed to

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, except for the fees paid indirectly
through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money
Market Series, to 0.50% 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 to
(including for the period prior to July 21, 2015) assume the direct
expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding management fees
and custodian fees) to the extent necessary to limit the annualized
expenses of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses
133
the Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment in other investment
companies) to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average net
assets of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio (the "Annualized Expense
Ratio"). At any time that the annualized expenses of the Class R2 shares of
the Portfolio are less than the Annualized Expense Ratio listed 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
is within thirty-six months and does not cause the annualized expense ratio
of the Class R2 shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Annualized Expense
Ratio, as listed above. Except, the Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse
the Advisor for fees waived in connection with the Permanent Fee Waiver.

whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of the Portfolios' custody expenses. Custody expense in the

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly,
the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.

ASC 740 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 investments
in corresponding Master/Underlying Funds), 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.
Portfolios that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as The
United Kingdom Small Company Portfolio's Master Fund that concentrates
investments in the United Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the
political and economic conditions within such countries. For example, there is
continuing uncertainty around the future of the euro and the European Union
(EU) following the United Kingdom's (UK) vote to exit the EU in June 2016.
Brexit may cause greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency
fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business
confidence, and increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. While it is not
possible to determine the precise impact these events may have on the
Portfolios, during this period and beyond, the impact on the UK, EU countries,
other countries or parties that transact with the UK and EU, and the broader
global economy could be significant and could adversely affect the value and
liquidity of the Portfolios' investments.
143
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
2. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The Portfolios listed below 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) or 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 the Selectively Hedged Global Equity
Portfolio's currency exposure with respect to a foreign market will be based
primarily on the Portfolio's existing exposure to a given foreign currency.
Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded by the
Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements
of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency contracts. 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: Each Portfolio listed below 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 Portfolio. The Portfolios, however, do not intend to sell
futures contracts to establish short positions in individual securities. 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 in an amount 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 entrance 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 Portfolio 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.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that
will help a Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund on behalf of
applicable Portfolios 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, on behalf of a
Portfolio, and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives
and forward currency 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, a Portfolio
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
146
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 Portfolios do not offset derivative
assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in
the Statements 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
related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolios as of October 31, 2019

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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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
147
$700 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 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available line
of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
148
J. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 advisor (or affiliated
investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions
entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

K. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral. The
Portfolios also received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or
long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NON-CASH

World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio.................. 60,982
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio............... 693,992
Emerging Markets Targeted Value Portfolio............ 1,651
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
149
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, cash collateral being maintained by
the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 with securities
on loan 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. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. 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 or unaffiliated money market funds
that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies
include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities.
Additionally, 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 for
taxation 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, 2019:

L. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES:
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 Emerging Markets Value Portfolio Class R2 Shares.
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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
O. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, the following number of shareholders held the

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
P. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
153
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the
investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO
The DFA International Value Portfolio invests in 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.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification,
with increased exposure to stocks with smaller total market capitalizations,
lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability within the large-cap
value segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of October 31, 2019, the Master
Fund held approximately 550 securities in 22 eligible developed markets.
Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.13% for the
Portfolio's Class R2 shares, 3.37% for the Portfolio's Institutional
Class shares, and 11.08% 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. With low relative price (value) stocks underperforming high relative
price (growth) stocks for the period, the Master Fund's focus on value stocks
detracted from performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark.

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 and 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"
reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who
started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with
those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making
comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate
expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs
by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples
that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

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 twelve
portfolios, one of which, the DFA International Value Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), is presented 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting
Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment
Companies."
The Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in The DFA
International Value Series (the "Series"), a corresponding series of The DFA
Investment Trust Company. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio owned 74% of
the Series. The financial statements of the Series are included elsewhere in
this report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of
the Portfolio.
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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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)
The Portfolio's investment reflects its proportionate interests in the net
assets of the Series. The valuation is classified 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 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.
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 methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
167
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Directors have
requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
3. OTHER: The Portfolio 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 Portfolio
estimates the character of received distributions that may be considered return
of capital distributions. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are
directly charged. Common expenses of the Fund or the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Income, gains and losses, and common expenses of
the 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolio's
investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor
based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
DFA International Value Portfolio........................... 0.40%
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
Portfolio, as described in the notes below. A portion of the Fee Waiver
Agreement for the Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2020,
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 Portfolio, as described in the notes below, will
remain in effect permanently, unless terminated by the Portfolio. During the
year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had expense limits based on a
percentage of average net assets on an annualized basis, and the Advisor
recovered previously waived fees and/or assumed expenses (amounts in
thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed
(recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended
October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to
future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected below
(amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is not obligated
to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously
assumed by the Advisor
168
more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery. With respect to the
Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year waived fees and/or expenses assumed can be
recaptured only if the expense ratio following such recapture would be less
than the expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees were waived
and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in place for the
Portfolio.

(1)The Advisor has contractually agreed to permanently waive all or a portion
of the management fee of the 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, except for the
fees paid indirectly through its investment of securities lending cash
collateral in the DFA Short Term Investment Fund, to the rate listed above
as a percentage of the average net assets of the Institutional Class of the
Portfolio on an annualized basis.
(2)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, except for the fees paid indirectly
through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in The DFA
Short Term Investment Fund, 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 is within thirty-six months and 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.
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, 2019, the total related amounts paid by the Fund
to the CCO were $30 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by the
Portfolio are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
As of October 31, 2019, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amount in thousands):
DFA International Value Portfolio............ $297
E. 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 its shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes.
169
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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gains
or losses, or unrealized appreciation, as appropriate, in the period that the
differences arise. Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31,
2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term
capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal
income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (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 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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio had the following capital
loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains with no
expiration date (amounts in thousands):

(amounts in thousands):

TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
---------- ------------ -------------- --------------
DFA International Value Portfolio............ $9,121,084 $60,162 -- $60,162
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.

G. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES:
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.
H. 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.
171
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.
I. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolio's early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
J. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, the following number of shareholders held the
following approximate percentages of the Portfolio's outstanding shares. One or
more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares
for the benefit of several other underlying investors.

The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolio through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no other subsequent events requiring recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Shareholders
of DFA International Value Portfolio
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of DFA International Value Portfolio (one of the
portfolios constituting Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred
to as the "Portfolio") as of October 31, 2019, the related statement of
operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio's
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of the security owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the transfer agent of the investee fund. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
THE DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE SERIES
The DFA International Value Series invests in developed ex U.S. large
company value stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification, with increased exposure to stocks with smaller total
market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability
within the large-cap value segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of
October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 550 securities in 22 eligible
developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1%
of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.60% for the
Series and 11.08% 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. With
low relative price (value) stocks underperforming high relative price (growth)
stocks for the period, the Series' focus on value stocks detracted from
performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark.
THE JAPANESE SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Japanese Small Company Series invests in Japanese small company stocks.
The Series generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest
relative price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 1,800
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.47% for the
Series and 9.31% 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 allocations to small- and micro-caps detracted from
179
performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks with smaller market
capitalizations underperformed. The Series' exclusion of stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price had a negative impact on relative
performance, as those stocks outperformed. At the sector level, the Series'
exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from relative
performance, as REITs generally outperformed in Japan.
THE ASIA PACIFIC SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Asia Pacific Small Company Series invests in small company stocks in
Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore. The Series generally excluded
stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 810 securities in 4 eligible
countries. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.27% for the
Series and 11.11% 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' greater emphasis on stocks with smaller market
capitalizations detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as
small-caps underperformed mid-caps in Asia Pacific (ex Japan) markets for the
period. At the sector level, the Series' exclusion of real estate investment
trusts (REITs) also detracted from relative performance, as REITs generally
outperformed in Asia Pacific (ex Japan) markets. The Series' exclusion of
stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price had a negative
impact on relative performance, as those securities also outperformed.
THE UNITED KINGDOM SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The United Kingdom Small Company Series invests in small company stocks in
the U.K. The Series generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and
highest relative price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately
350 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.67% for the
Series and 9.41% for the MSCI United Kingdom 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' exclusion of stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative
price contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark, as those
securities underperformed for the period. Conversely, at the sector level, the
Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from
relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.K.
THE CONTINENTAL SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Continental Small Company Series invests in small company stocks in the
developed markets of Europe (excluding the U.K.) and Israel. The Series
generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative
price. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 1,100
securities in 15 eligible countries. Average cash exposure throughout the year
was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.43% for the
Series and 6.25% for the MSCI Europe ex U.K. 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 eligible
markets rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series
and its benchmark use different methodologies to determine which small-cap
stocks are eligible for purchase or to hold. This methodology variance led to
country-by-country differences between the maximum market capitalization of
small-cap stocks bought and held by the Series relative to the benchmark, which
in turn led to differences in holdings between the Series and the benchmark.
These holdings differences contributed positively to the Series' performance
relative to the benchmark. The Series' exclusion of stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price also contributed positively to
relative performance, as those securities underperformed for the year.
Conversely, at the sector level, the Series' exclusion of real estate
180
investment trusts (REITs) detracted from relative performance, as REITs
generally outperformed in eligible markets.
THE CANADIAN SMALL COMPANY SERIES
The Canadian Small Company Series invests in small company stocks in Canada.
The Series generally excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest
relative price. The investment strategy is process-driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately 320
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 1.00% for the
Series and 6.45% 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 exposure to small-cap stocks with smaller relative market
capitalizations detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks
with smaller market capitalizations underperformed in Canada for the period. At
the sector level, the Series' exclusion of real estate investment trusts
(REITs) also detracted from relative performance, as REITs generally
outperformed in Canada.
THE EMERGING MARKETS SERIES
The Emerging Markets Series invests in large-cap stocks in emerging markets.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification
with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower
relative price (value), and higher-profitability within the large-cap segment
of emerging markets. As of October 31, 2019, the Series held approximately
1,200 securities in 21 eligible emerging markets. Average cash exposure
throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.40% for the
Series and 11.86% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' 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 Series' greater
emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks underperformed high
relative price (growth) stocks in emerging markets for the period.
THE EMERGING MARKETS SMALL CAP SERIES
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series invests in small company stocks in
emerging markets. The Portfolio generally excludes stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Series
held approximately 4,200 securities in 18 eligible emerging markets. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 13.47% for the
Series and 11.86% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net dividends), the
Series' benchmark. As a result of the Series' diversified investment approach,
performance was principally determined by broad trends in emerging markets
rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Series' greater
allocations to Taiwan and Brazil had a positive impact on relative performance,
as small-caps in Taiwan and Brazil outperformed for the period.

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 and 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" reflects
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.

"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP,
6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 used. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
The DFA Investment Trust Company (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, The
Trust consists of eleven portfolios, eight of which, 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 are included in this section of the report
(collectively, the "Series"). The remaining operational portfolios are
presented in separate reports. The Series are investment companies, and
accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"),
Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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 Series, 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 Series 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 Series value the securities within the range of the
most recent quoted bid and ask 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 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 Series 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 Series 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.
225
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 Series are computed. Due to
the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities
exchanges and the time the Series price their shares at the close of the NYSE,
the Series 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 Series'
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 Series 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 Series
uses data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws
upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When
a Series uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Series' 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 methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of the Series, whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are
translated to U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask
prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources.
To facilitate the translation, the Series enter into foreign currency
contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties
to buy and sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement
generally within two business days. 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 Series do not isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations
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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series
and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The date may not be sooner than the earlier of: (i)
226
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, 2019, 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 and 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 received distributions 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, using 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 Series 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. Additionally, 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 tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes
are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2019, investment

EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Series have entered into arrangements with their custodian
whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of the 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.

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.
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
----------- ------------ -------------- --------------

The Emerging Markets Series............. 4,314,649 2,254,714 (457,609) 1,797,105
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Series... 6,588,698 1,409,380 (1,413,493) (4,113)
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.

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.
Series that have significant exposure to certain countries, such as The
United Kingdom Small Company Series that concentrates investments in the United
Kingdom, can be expected to be impacted by the political and economic
conditions within such countries. For example, there is continuing uncertainty
around the future of the euro and the European Union (EU) following the United
Kingdom's (UK) vote to exit the EU in June 2016. Brexit may cause greater
market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in
economic activity, a decrease in business confidence, and increased likelihood
of a recession in the UK. While it is not possible to determine the precise
impact these events may have on the Series, during this period and beyond, the
impact on the UK, EU countries, other countries or parties that transact with
the UK and EU, and the broader global economy could be significant and could
adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Series' investments.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Series.
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Series listed below 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, a Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government securities
to a broker in an amount 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 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 entrance 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. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Series to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty credit
risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange's
clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the
futures against default.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amounts
in thousands):

* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total single or consecutive days
during the year ended October 31, 2019, that each Series' available line of
credit was used.
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
233
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.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, activity by the Series under the
interfund lending program was as follows:

I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled
meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered
into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board
of Trustees of the Trust.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Series under Rule
17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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, the
Series could experience delay in recovering the loaned securities or only
recover cash or a security of equivalent value.
Subject to their stated investment policies, each Series will generally
invest the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short
Term Investment Fund (the "Money Market Series"), an affiliated registered
money market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a
management fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market
Series. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for
securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments
to and from borrowers of securities. The 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 or unaffiliated money
market funds that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this
paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed
securities. Additionally, 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
for taxation 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

K. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Series' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
M. OTHER:
The Series and the Trust are subject to claims and suits that arise from
time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune
Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all
shareholders of The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune
Company went private in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the
return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently
believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will
not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of
operations, or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent
uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.
236
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series
through the date on which 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 of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders
of 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
OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, of 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 (eight of the series constituting The DFA
Investment Trust Company, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Series")
as of October 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended
October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes, and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended
October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of each of the Series as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019, and each of the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series' financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the
investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
The Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund invests in value stocks of large
and small companies in emerging markets. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to stocks
with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher-profitability within the value segment of emerging markets. As of
October 31, 2019, the Fund held approximately 2,500 securities in 19 eligible
emerging markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.24% for the
Fund and 11.86% 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's focus on low
relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on performance relative to
the style-neutral benchmark, as value stocks underperformed high relative price
(growth) stocks in emerging markets for the period. With small-cap stocks
underperforming large-cap stocks, the Fund's inclusion of small-caps also
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed
primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks. At the country level, the Fund's focus
on value stocks had a particularly negative impact in China, as Chinese value
stocks underperformed.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
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 and 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"
reflects 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.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
(UNAUDITED)
The SEC requires that all funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with
the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters as an exhibit to their
reports on Form N-PORT. For the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund, this
would be for the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form
N-PORT filing must be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter.
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund filed its most recent Form N-PORT with
the SEC on September 27, 2019. They are available upon request, without charge,

Advisors LP, 6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; by visiting

Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the
operation of the Public Reference Room).
SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP,
6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 used. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.

DIMENSIONAL EMERGING MARKETS VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Fund meets the definition as an investment company and follows the
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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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 ask 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 at which the net asset
value of the Fund is computed. Due to the time differences between the closings
of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the pricing of the Fund's
shares (at the close of the NYSE), the Fund will fair-value its foreign
254
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 calculated closing prices of the foreign investments 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 uses data furnished by an independent
pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market
values of foreign investments). When the Fund uses fair value pricing, the
values assigned to the Fund's foreign investments may not be the quoted or
published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.
These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Fund are valued using the settlement price
established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. These valuations
are generally categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments by each major
security type, industry and/or country is disclosed previously in this note. A
valuation hierarchy table has been included at the end of the Summary Schedule
of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in
those securities.
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 ask
prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources.
To facilitate the translation, the Fund enters into foreign currency contracts.
A foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and
sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally
within two business days. 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 foreign exchange rate fluctuations 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 of
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
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses. As of
October 31, 2019, 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 $596 (in thousands).
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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 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
255
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, 2019, 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
received distributions 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. Additionally, 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 tax on short-term capital gains for investments in India. Such
taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon sale of individual securities.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's investment management fee
was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following
effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund........... 0.10%
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to reduce a
portion of the Fund's custody expense. Custody expense in the accompanying
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, 2019, expenses reduced were the following
(amount in thousands):
FEES PAID
INDIRECTLY
----------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund........... $2,320
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, 2019, the total related amounts paid by the Fund to
the CCO were $14 (in thousands) and are included in Other Expenses on the
Statement of Operations.
256
D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's transactions related to
investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind redemptions
and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands), were as follows:
PURCHASES SALES
---------- ----------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund........... $2,952,782 $2,501,837
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, transactions related to Affiliated
Investment Companies, excluding in-kind redemptions, are presented below.
The amounts presented below may differ from the respective amounts presented

======== ========== ========== ==== ==== ========= ====== ======= ==
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.
As of October 31, 2019, 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

----------- ------------ -------------- --------------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund........... $17,010,015 $3,410,804 $(2,796,163) $614,641
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.
257
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 foreign or U.S. 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 pledges U.S. Government
securities to a broker in an amount equal to the minimum "initial margin"
requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent
payments are received from or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily
fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are
known as "variation margin" and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized
gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed,
the Fund records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement
of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities or indices, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for
these instruments and from the possibility that the Fund could lose more than
the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Fund to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty 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.
Securities have been segregated as collateral for open futures contracts.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amount

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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
259
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following 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, 2019, that the Fund's available line
of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year ended
October 31, 2019.
H. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, if any, were executed by
the Fund pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors),
common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled meetings,
the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered into by the
Fund complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Fund under Rule
17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

I. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, the Fund had securities on loan to brokers/dealers,
for which the Fund received cash collateral. The Fund received non-cash
collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S.
government agency securities as follows (amount in thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund.. $257,882
260
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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 policies, 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. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. 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 or unaffiliated money market funds that are
registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies include
both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation 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, 2019:

J. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Fund's early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.

The Fund is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the
ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy,
certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune
Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private in 2007 in a
leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the
shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims
against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse
impact on our financial position, our results of operations, or our cash flows,
these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of
these matters may change in the future.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund
through the date on which 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
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of Dimensional Emerging Markets
Value Fund (the "Fund") as of October 31, 2019, the related statement of
operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the
investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a
Trustee/Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as
well as other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds include
additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of

SEE THE INSIDE FRONT COVER FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO YOUR
FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at
(888) 576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper
copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary
or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
DFA ONE-YEAR FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to achieve a stable real
return in excess of the rate of inflation by generally investing in
high-quality fixed income securities and maintaining a weighted average
portfolio maturity of one year or less. The investment strategy uses a variable
maturity approach and shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve.
The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable maturity ranges of
expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies. Maturity targets
are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums. The weighted
average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 55 days as of October 31, 2019,
from 333 days as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.90% for the
Portfolio, 2.71% for the ICE BofAML U.S. 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, and 3.28%
for the ICE BofAML 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, the Portfolio's benchmarks.
The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted along the Portfolio's eligible
maturity range, producing lower yields at the longer end of the eligible
maturity range and reducing expected capital appreciation opportunities during
the period. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average maturity was
shortened during the period. Interest rates decreased across the eligible
maturity range and realized term premiums were positive for the period. As
such, the Portfolio's exposure to securities with maturities greater than one
year contributed positively to performance relative to the ICE BofAML U.S.
6-Month Treasury Bill Index. Conversely, the Portfolio's shorter weighted
average maturity detracted from performance relative to the ICE BofAML 1-Year
U.S. Treasury Note Index.
16
DFA TWO-YEAR GLOBAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to maximize
risk-adjusted total returns consistent with the preservation of capital by
investing in U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate
securities, and global fixed income instruments maturing in three years or less
(under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net
assets in fixed income securities that mature within two years). The currency
exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities within the
Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar. The investment strategy
uses a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities and country allocations
based on changes in the eligible yield curves. The strategy uses current yields
and identifies favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential
buy and sell strategies for each eligible country. Maturity targets and country
allocations are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums.
The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 208 days as of
October 31, 2019, from 1.50 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.42% for the
Portfolio and 3.49% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index, 1-2 Years,
Currency-Hedged in USD terms, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period,
yield curves in global developed markets generally flattened, indicating
smaller expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was decreased. Realized term premiums, however, were generally
positive in global developed markets for the period. As such, the Portfolio's
allocation to securities with maturities shorter than one year detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark. Conversely, the Portfolio's lack of
exposure to Japanese yen-denominated securities contributed positively to
relative performance.
DFA SELECTIVELY HEDGED GLOBAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to
maximize total returns by investing in U.S. and foreign government securities,
investment grade corporate securities, and global fixed income instruments. The
Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within five years and
maintains a weighted average portfolio maturity and duration of three years or
less. The Portfolio hedges foreign currency exposure on a selective basis to
capture higher interest rates that may be offered in foreign yield curves. The
investment strategy uses both variable maturity and variable credit approaches
and shifts maturities and country allocations based on changes in the eligible
yield curves for each country. Using current yield curves, the strategy
identifies the countries and maturity ranges offering favorable expected
returns. Maturity targets and country allocations are shifted as expected
return premiums change. The Portfolio may emphasize investment grade
obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum or may
deemphasize these securities when Dimensional believes the expected credit
premium for holding such bonds is relatively low. The weighted average maturity
of the Portfolio decreased to 1.72 years as of October 31, 2019, from 2.80
years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.29% for the
Portfolio and 3.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years
(unhedged) in USD terms, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, yield
curves in global developed markets generally flattened, indicating smaller
expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average maturity
was decreased. Realized term premiums, however, were generally positive in
global developed markets for the period. Credit spreads remained relatively
unchanged during the period and realized credit premiums were also generally
positive. The U.S. dollar generally appreciated relative to foreign currencies
during the period. As a result, the Portfolio's exposure to U.S.
dollar-denominated securities and lack of exposure to unhedged euro-denominated
securities contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark. The
Portfolio's allocation to corporate securities also contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark.
DFA FIVE-YEAR GLOBAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to provide a
market rate of return by investing in U.S. and foreign government securities,
high-quality corporate fixed income securities, and currency-hedged global
fixed income instruments maturing in five years or less. The currency exposure
associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities within the Portfolio is
generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar. The investment strategy uses a
variable maturity approach and shifts maturities and country allocations based
on changes in the eligible yield curves. The strategy uses current yields and
identifies favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy
and sell strategies for each eligible country. Maturity targets and country
allocations are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums.
The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 2.03 years as of
October 31, 2019, from 3.83 years as of October 31, 2018.
17
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.88% for the
Portfolio and 5.19% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index, 1-5 Years,
Currency-Hedged in USD terms, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period,
yield curves in global developed markets generally flattened, indicating
smaller expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was decreased. Realized term premiums, however, were generally
positive in global developed markets for the period. The Portfolio's
underweight to U.S. dollar-denominated securities in the four- to five-year
maturity range detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.
Additionally, the Portfolio's lack of exposure to certain lower-quality
government securities in countries such as Italy, which are included in the
benchmark, also detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the
Portfolio's underweight to Japanese yen-denominated securities and overweight
to Canadian dollar-denominated securities contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark.
DFA WORLD EX U.S. GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA World ex U.S. Government Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to
maximize total returns by investing in high-quality debt securities issued
primarily by non-U.S. government issuers and supranational organizations and
their agencies. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S.
dollar-denominated securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to
the U.S. dollar. The Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature
within 15 years and generally maintains a weighted average duration of no more
than a quarter of a year greater than, and no less than one year below, the
weighted average duration of the Portfolio's benchmark. The weighted average
duration of the Portfolio increased to 9.76 years as of October 31, 2019, from
8.71 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.92% for the
Portfolio and 11.42% for the FTSE Non-USD World Government Bond Index,
Currency-Hedged in USD terms, the Portfolio's benchmark. The Portfolio's
underweight to securities denominated in Japanese yen and overweight to
intermediate-term securities denominated in the British pound, Canadian dollar,
euro, and Swedish krona contributed positively to performance relative to the
benchmark.
DFA SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
The DFA Short-Term Government Portfolio is designed to maximize
risk-adjusted total returns by investing in U.S. government and U.S. government
agency securities maturing in five years or less. The investment strategy uses
a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities based on changes in the
yield curve. The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable maturity
ranges of expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies. Maturity
targets are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums. The
weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 11 days as of
October 31, 2019, from 2.67 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.75% for the
Portfolio and 5.79% for the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury and Agency Index,
the Portfolio's benchmark. The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted along the
Portfolio's eligible maturity range, producing lower yields at the longer end
of the eligible maturity range and reducing expected capital appreciation
opportunities during the period. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was shortened during the period. Interest rates decreased across the
eligible maturity range and realized term premiums were positive for the
period. As a result, the Portfolio's underweight to securities in the two- to
five-year maturity range and exposure to securities with maturities shorter
than one year detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.
DFA INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to
provide current income consistent with the preservation of capital from
investing generally in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues with
maturities of between five and 15 years. The weighted average duration of the
Portfolio increased to 6.44 years as of October 31, 2019, from 6.00 years as of
October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.81% for the
Portfolio and 10.99% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index, the
Portfolio's benchmark. Interest rates generally decreased during the period and
realized term premiums were positive. The Portfolio's emphasis on the
intermediate segment of the yield curve contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark, as the intermediate segment outperformed the
combination of the long and short ends of the yield curve.
18
DFA SHORT-TERM EXTENDED QUALITY PORTFOLIO
The DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio is designed to maximize total
returns by investing in U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with an
investment grade credit rating. The Portfolio uses both variable maturity and
variable credit approaches and generally emphasizes investment grade
obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum except
when Dimensional believes the expected credit premium is relatively low. The
Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within five years and
maintains a weighted average portfolio maturity and duration of three years or
less. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar.
The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 1.32 years as of
October 31, 2019, from 2.62 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.11% for the
Portfolio and 6.35% for the ICE BofAML 1-5 Year U.S. Corporate & Government
Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, yield curves in global
developed markets generally flattened, indicating smaller expected term
premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average maturity was decreased.
Realized term premiums, however, were generally positive in global developed
markets for the period. Credit spreads were little changed during the period
and realized credit premiums were also generally positive. The Portfolio's
underweight to securities in the four- to five-year maturity range and
overweight to securities with maturities shorter than one year detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark.
DFA INTERMEDIATE-TERM EXTENDED QUALITY PORTFOLIO
The DFA Intermediate-Term Extended Quality Portfolio is designed to maximize
total returns by investing in U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities with
an investment grade credit rating. The Portfolio uses a variable credit
approach and generally emphasizes investment grade obligations rated in the
lower half of the investment grade spectrum, except when Dimensional believes
the expected credit premium is relatively low. The Portfolio primarily invests
in securities that mature within 15 years and generally maintains a weighted
average duration of no more than a quarter of a year greater than, and no less
than one year below, the weighted average duration of the Portfolio's
benchmark. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar.
The weighted average duration of the Portfolio was relatively unchanged at 6.79
years as of October 31, 2019, compared to 6.71 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 15.27% for the
Portfolio and 14.88% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index, the
Portfolio's benchmark. Although the U.S. yield curve flattened during the
period, it was still upwardly sloped in the intermediate and longer end,
indicating positive expected term premiums for intermediate-term strategies.
Realized term premiums were positive during the period. Credit spreads were
little changed during the period and realized credit premiums were also
positive. The Portfolio's underweight to securities in the one- to five-year
maturity range and overweight to securities in the intermediate segment of the
yield curve contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark.
The Portfolio's underweight to government-related securities also contributed
positively to relative performance.
DFA TARGETED CREDIT PORTFOLIO
The DFA Targeted Credit Portfolio seeks to maximize total returns by
investing in U.S. and foreign corporate debt securities rated in the lower half
of the investment grade spectrum as well as BB-rated securities that mature
within five years. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S.
dollar-denominated securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to
the U.S. dollar. The investment strategy uses both variable maturity and
variable credit approaches and shifts maturities and country allocations based
on changes in the eligible yield curves. The strategy uses current yields and
identifies favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy
and sell strategies for each eligible country. Maturity targets and country
allocations are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums.
While the Portfolio targets debt securities rated single-A, BBB, and BB, it may
vary its exposure to credit within this range. The weighted average maturity of
the Portfolio decreased to 2.25 years as of October 31, 2019, from 3.22 years
as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 6.51% for the
Portfolio and 6.63% for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Credit Index
1-5 Years (hedged to USD), the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, yield
curves in global developed markets generally flattened, indicating smaller
expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average maturity
was decreased. Realized term premiums, however, were generally positive in
global developed markets for the period. Credit spreads remained relatively
unchanged during
19
the period and realized credit premiums were also generally positive. The
Portfolio's underweight to securities in the four- to five-year maturity range
and allocation to securities with maturities shorter than one year detracted
from performance relative to the benchmark. Conversely, the Portfolio's
underweight to government-related securities contributed positively to relative
performance.
DFA GLOBAL CORE PLUS FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Global Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to maximize
total returns by investing in a universe of U.S. and foreign fixed income
securities using a variable credit approach. The Portfolio emphasizes
investment grade obligations rated in the lower half of the investment grade
spectrum, as well as BB-rated securities, except when Dimensional believes the
expected credit premium is relatively low. The Portfolio primarily invests in
securities that mature within 15 years and generally maintains a weighted
average duration of no more than half a year greater than, and no less than one
year below, the weighted average duration of the Portfolio's benchmark. The
currency exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities within
the Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar. The weighted average
duration of the Portfolio increased to 7.21 years as of October 31, 2019, from
7.10 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 12.33% for the
Portfolio and 10.67% for the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index
(hedged to USD), the Portfolio's benchmark. Although global developed yield
curves generally flattened during the period, they were still upwardly sloped
in the intermediate and longer end, indicating positive expected term premiums
for intermediate-term strategies. Realized term premiums were positive during
the period. Credit spreads remained relatively unchanged during the period and
realized credit premiums were also positive. The Portfolio's underweight to
securities in the one- to six-year maturity range and overweight to
intermediate-term securities contributed positively to performance relative to
the benchmark. The Portfolio's overweight to corporate securities and
allocation to BB-rated securities also contributed positively to relative
performance.
DFA INVESTMENT GRADE PORTFOLIO
The DFA Investment Grade Portfolio is designed to maximize total returns
through exposure to a broad portfolio of investment grade debt securities of
U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government issuers using a variable credit
approach. The Portfolio emphasizes investment grade obligations rated in the
lower half of the investment grade spectrum, except when Dimensional believes
the expected credit premium is relatively low. The Portfolio primarily invests
in securities that mature within 15 years and generally maintains a weighted
average duration of no more than a quarter of a year greater than, and no less
than one year below, the weighted average duration of the Portfolio's
benchmark. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar.
The weighted average duration of the Portfolio decreased to 5.67 years as of
October 31, 2019, from 5.81 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 12.60% for the
Portfolio and 11.51% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the
Portfolio's benchmark. Although the U.S. yield curve flattened during the
period, it was still upwardly sloped in the intermediate and longer end,
indicating positive expected term premiums for intermediate-term strategies.
Realized term premiums were positive during the period. Credit spreads were
little changed during the period and realized credit premiums were also
positive. The Portfolio's underweight to securities in the one- to five-year
maturity range and overweight to securities in the intermediate segment of the
yield curve contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark.
The Portfolio's overweight to corporate securities also contributed positively
to relative performance.
DFA DIVERSIFIED FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to provide a market
rate of return for a fixed income portfolio with low relative volatility by
investing directly or through other funds managed by Dimensional ("Underlying
Funds") in a universe of U.S. and foreign debt securities, including
inflation-protected securities. The Underlying Funds may include the DFA
Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Intermediate Government Fixed
Income Portfolio and/or other Underlying Funds. Generally, the Portfolio or the
Underlying Funds will purchase debt securities that mature within 20 years. The
average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 4.61 years as of October 31,
2019, from 4.71 years as of October 31, 2018.
20
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.97% for the
Portfolio and 7.79% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. The Portfolio's exposure to government
securities in the 10- to 15-year maturity range contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark, as realized term premiums were positive.
DFA LTIP PORTFOLIO
The DFA LTIP Portfolio seeks to provide total return composed of income and
capital appreciation consistent with inflation protected long-term instruments.
The Portfolio generally invests in inflation-protected securities issued by the
U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities with maturities longer
than 10 years. The weighted average duration of the Portfolio increased to
24.74 years as of October 31, 2019, from 24.33 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 22.69% for the
Portfolio and 21.40% for the FTSE U.S. Inflation-Linked Securities Index, 20+
Years, the Portfolio's benchmark. The Portfolio's longer duration contributed
positively to performance relative to the benchmark, as realized term premiums
were positive in the U.S. treasury inflation-protected securities market.
DFA INFLATION-PROTECTED SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio is designed to provide
inflation protection and current income by investing in inflation-protected
securities (TIPS) issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities with maturities of between five and 20 years. The weighted
average duration of the Portfolio increased to 7.73 years as of October 31,
2019, from 7.61 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 9.16% for the
Portfolio and 8.96% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, the Portfolio's
benchmark. Real interest rates generally decreased during the period and
realized real term premiums were positive. The Portfolio's emphasis on the
intermediate segment of the real yield curve contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark, as the intermediate segment outperformed
the combination of the long and short ends of the real yield curve.
DFA SHORT-DURATION REAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
The DFA Short-Duration Real Return Portfolio is designed to seek inflation
protection and maximize total returns. The strategy pursues its investment
objective by using both variable maturity and variable credit approaches and
investing in a combination of investment grade debt securities,
inflation-protected securities that mature within five years, and derivative
instruments such as inflation swaps. The Portfolio maintains a weighted average
portfolio duration of three years or less. The weighted average duration of the
Portfolio decreased to 1.76 years as of October 31, 2019, from 2.86 years as of
October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.16% for the
Portfolio and 4.44% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-5 Years Index, the
Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, yield curves in global developed
markets generally flattened, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As a
result, the Portfolio's weighted average duration was decreased. Realized term
premiums, however, were generally positive in global developed markets for the
period. Credit spreads remained relatively unchanged during the period and
realized credit premiums were also generally positive. The Portfolio's
underweight to securities in the four- to five-year maturity range and
overweight to securities with maturities shorter than one year detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark. Conversely, the Portfolio's allocation
to corporate securities contributed positively to relative performance.
DFA MUNICIPAL REAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
The DFA Municipal Real Return Portfolio seeks to provide inflation
protection and current income that is exempt from federal personal income taxes
by investing in a universe of investment grade municipal securities, including
inflation-protected municipal securities, and in derivative instruments to
provide inflation protection. The Portfolio maintains an average portfolio
duration of five years or less. The average duration of the Portfolio decreased
to 4.19 years as of October 31, 2019, from 4.81 years as of October 31, 2018.
21
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.56% for the
Portfolio and 8.19% for the S&P Intermediate Term National AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, municipal yield
curves and the real yield curve were relatively flat, indicating smaller
expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's duration was decreased.
Realized term premiums were, however, positive during the period. As such, the
Portfolio's overweight to shorter-term municipal securities and lack of
exposure to municipal securities with maturities longer than 10 years detracted
from performance relative to the benchmark. The Portfolio's focus on
higher-quality municipal securities also detracted from relative performance,
as lower-quality municipal securities generally outperformed higher-quality
municipal securities. The Portfolio's zero-coupon inflation swaps, designed for
protection from unexpected inflation, detracted from relative performance as
breakeven inflation rates decreased over the period. The benchmark is a nominal
interest rate benchmark that does not contain an inflation-protection component.
DFA CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL REAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
The DFA California Municipal Real Return Portfolio seeks to provide
inflation protection and current income that is exempt from both federal
personal income taxes and California state personal income taxes by investing
primarily in a universe of municipal securities issued by or on behalf of
California state or local governments and their agencies, instrumentalities,
and regional governmental authorities. The Portfolio also invests in derivative
instruments to provide inflation protection. The Portfolio maintains an average
portfolio duration of five years or less. The average duration of the Portfolio
decreased to 4.01 years as of October 31, 2019, from 4.45 years as of
October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.73% for the
Portfolio and 7.56% for the S&P Intermediate Term California AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, the California
municipal yield curve and the real yield curve were relatively flat, indicating
smaller expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's duration was
decreased. Realized term premiums were, however, positive during the period. As
such, the Portfolio's overweight to shorter-term municipal securities and lack
of exposure to municipal securities with maturities longer than 10 years
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The Portfolio's
zero-coupon inflation swaps, designed for protection from unexpected inflation,
detracted from relative performance as breakeven inflation rates decreased over
the period. The benchmark is a nominal interest rate benchmark that does not
contain an inflation-protection component.
DFA MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA Municipal Bond Portfolio is designed to provide current income
exempt from federal personal income tax by investing in a universe of
investment grade municipal securities. The investment strategy uses a variable
maturity approach. The Portfolio will maintain a weighted average duration of
more than three years but less than five years. The weighted average duration
of the Portfolio was relatively unchanged at 3.24 years as of October 31, 2019,
compared to 3.22 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.28% for the
Portfolio and 8.19% for S&P Intermediate Term National AMT-Free Municipal Bond
Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, municipal yield curves
were relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As a result,
the Portfolio was focused on the shorter end of its eligible duration range.
Realized term premiums were, however, positive during the period. As such, the
Portfolio's overweight to shorter-term municipal securities and lack of
exposure to municipal securities with maturities longer than 10 years detracted
from performance relative to the benchmark. The Portfolio's focus on
higher-quality municipal securities also detracted from relative performance,
as lower-quality municipal securities generally outperformed higher-quality
municipal securities.
DFA SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide current income
exempt from federal personal income tax by investing in high-quality municipal
securities. The investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach. The
weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three
years. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 0.76 years
as of October 31, 2019, from 1.08 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.03% for the
Portfolio and 3.43% for the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Municipal Securities
Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, municipal yield curves
were relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As a result,
the Portfolio was focused on the
22
shorter end of its eligible duration range. Realized term premiums were,
however, positive during the period. The Portfolio's overweight to shorter-term
municipal securities detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The
Portfolio's focus on higher-quality municipal securities also detracted from
relative performance, as lower-quality municipal securities generally
outperformed higher-quality municipal securities.
DFA INTERMEDIATE-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio is designed to provide
current income exempt from federal personal income tax by investing in
high-quality municipal securities. The Portfolio will generally maintain a
weighted average duration of no more than half a year greater than, and no less
than one year below, the weighted average duration of the Portfolio's
benchmark. The weighted average duration of the Portfolio was relatively
unchanged at 3.69 years as of October 31, 2019, compared to 3.64 years as of
October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 6.17% for the
Portfolio and 8.19% for the S&P Intermediate Term National AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, municipal yield
curves were relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As a
result, the Portfolio maintained a shorter weighted average duration than its
benchmark. Realized term premiums were, however, positive during the period.
The Portfolio's overweight to securities in the zero- to seven-year maturity
range and underweight to securities with maturities greater than 10 years
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The Portfolio's focus on
higher-quality municipal securities also detracted from relative performance,
as lower-quality municipal securities generally outperformed higher-quality
municipal securities.
DFA CALIFORNIA SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA California Short-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio is designed to
provide current income that is exempt from both federal personal income taxes
and California state personal income taxes by investing primarily in a universe
of municipal securities issued by or on behalf of California state or local
governments and their agencies, instrumentalities, and regional governmental
authorities. The investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach. The
weighted average maturity of the Portfolio generally will not exceed three
years. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 1.16 years
as of October 31, 2019, from 1.24 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 1.88% for the
Portfolio and 3.04% for the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year California including Puerto
Rico Municipal Securities Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period,
the California municipal yield curve was relatively flat, indicating smaller
expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio was focused on the shorter
end of its eligible average maturity range. Realized term premiums were,
however, positive during the period. The Portfolio's allocation to securities
with maturities shorter than one year and underweight to securities in the two-
to three-year maturity range detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark.
DFA CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA California Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Portfolio is designed to
provide current income that is exempt from both federal personal income taxes
and California state personal income taxes by investing primarily in a universe
of municipal securities issued by or on behalf of California state or local
governments and their agencies, instrumentalities, and regional governmental
authorities. The Portfolio will generally maintain a weighted average duration
of no more than half a year greater than, and no less than one year below, the
weighted average duration of the Portfolio's benchmark. The weighted average
duration of the Portfolio increased to 3.65 years as of October 31, 2019, from
3.49 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.30% for the
Portfolio and 7.56% for the S&P Intermediate Term California AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, the California
municipal yield curve was relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term
premiums. As a result, the Portfolio maintained a shorter weighted average
duration than its benchmark. Realized term premiums were, however, positive
during the period. The Portfolio's overweight to securities in the zero- to
six-year maturity range and underweight to securities with maturities greater
than 10 years detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The
Portfolio's focus on higher-quality municipal securities also detracted from
relative performance, as lower-quality municipal securities generally
outperformed higher-quality municipal securities.

DFA NY MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA NY Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide current income that is
exempt from both federal personal income taxes and New York state personal
income taxes by investing primarily in a universe of municipal securities
issued by or on behalf of New York state or local governments and their
agencies, instrumentalities, and regional governmental authorities. The
investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach. The Portfolio maintains
an average portfolio duration of five years or less. The average duration of
the Portfolio decreased to 1.49 years as of October 31, 2019, from 1.73 years
as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.92% for the
Portfolio and 8.08% for the S&P Intermediate Term New York AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period, the New York
municipal yield curve was relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term
premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's duration was decreased. Realized term
premiums were, however, positive during the period. As such, the Portfolio's
overweight to shorter-term municipal securities and lack of exposure to
municipal securities with maturities longer than seven years detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark.
DFA MN MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA MN Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide current income that is
exempt from federal personal income taxes and Minnesota state personal income
taxes by investing primarily in a universe of municipal securities issued by or
on behalf of Minnesota state or local governments and their agencies,
instrumentalities, and regional governmental authorities. The investment
strategy uses a variable maturity approach. The average duration of the
Portfolio decreased to 2.11 years as of October 31, 2019, from 2.90 years as of
October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 4.47% for the
Portfolio and 8.19% for the S&P Intermediate Term National AMT-Free Municipal
Bond Index. During the period, the Minnesota municipal yield curve was
relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As a result, the
Portfolio's duration was decreased. Realized term premiums were, however,
positive during the period. As such, the Portfolio's overweight to shorter-
term municipal securities and lack of exposure to municipal securities with
maturities longer than eight years detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark. Additionally, the Portfolio's focus on Minnesota securities
detracted from performance relative to the S&P Intermediate-Term National
AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index, as the national municipal bond market
outperformed the Minnesota bond market.
DFA OREGON MUNICIPAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The DFA Oregon Municipal Bond Portfolio seeks to provide current income that
is exempt from federal personal income taxes and Oregon state personal income
taxes by investing primarily in a universe of municipal securities issued by or
on behalf of Oregon state or local governments and their agencies,
instrumentalities, and regional governmental authorities. The average duration
of the Portfolio was 3.76 years as of October 31, 2019.
From its inception on September 10, 2019, through October 31, 2019, total
returns were 0.05% for the Portfolio and -0.09% for the S&P Intermediate Term
National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index. During the period, the Oregon municipal
yield curve was relatively flat, indicating smaller expected term premiums. As
a result, the Portfolio's duration was positioned towards the lower end of its
eligible range. Realized term premiums were negative during the period of
September 10, 2019 to October 31, 2019. As such, the Portfolio's overweight to
shorter-term municipal securities and lack of exposure to municipal securities
with maturities longer than 10 years contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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"
reflects 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred and
three operational portfolios, of which twenty-six (the "Portfolios") are
included in this report. The remaining operational portfolios are presented in
separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly,
follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946,
"Financial Services-Investment Companies."
The DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio achieves its investment objective
by investing directly in securities as listed on its Schedule of Investments
and/or in other series of the Fund as indicated below (collectively, the
"Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds' shareholder reports are included in
this report. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio was the owner of record of
the following approximate percentages of the total outstanding shares of the
following Underlying Funds as detailed below:
PERCENTAGE
OWNERSHIP
FUND OF FUNDS UNDERLYING FUNDS AT 10/31/19

DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio 6%
DFA Intermediate Government Fixed Income Portfolio 9%
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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)
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.
260
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. Swap
agreements will be valued at the price provided by an independent third-party
pricing service or source. If a price is not available from an independent
third-party pricing service or source, the swap agreement will be valued in
good faith at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board.
These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Shares held by the Portfolios in other investment companies (such as the
Underlying Funds shares held by the DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio) are
valued at their respective daily net asset values as reported by their
administrator. 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. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Schedules
of Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global
Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA World
ex U.S. Government Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Short-Term Extended Quality
Portfolio, DFA Intermediate-Term Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Targeted
Credit Portfolio, DFA Global Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio (the
"International Fixed Income Portfolios"), DFA Investment Grade Portfolio, DFA
Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Short-Duration Real Return Portfolio
whose values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to
U.S. dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the
U.S. dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate
the translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign currency contracts. A
foreign currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and
sell currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally
within two business days. 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
Fixed Income Portfolios, DFA Investment Grade Portfolio, DFA Diversified Fixed
Income Portfolio and DFA Short-Duration Real Return Portfolio also enter into
forward currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against fluctuations in
currency exchange rates or to transfer balances from one currency to another.
DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed Income Portfolio may hedge the currency
exposure of its foreign securities or leave some or all of the currency
exposure unhedged. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily based
on daily forward exchange rates.
The International Fixed Income Portfolios, DFA Investment Grade Portfolio,
DFA Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Short-Duration Real Return
Portfolio isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations 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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Fixed Income Portfolios, DFA Investment Grade Portfolio, DFA
Diversified Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Short-Duration Real Return Portfolio
and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
3. TREASURY INFLATION-PROTECTED SECURITIES (TIPS): Inflation-protected
securities (also known as inflation indexed securities) are securities whose
principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike
conventional debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments.
Inflation-protected securities include Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities
("TIPS"), which are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The principal value
of TIPS is adjusted for inflation (payable at maturity) and the semi-annual
interest payments by TIPS equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted
principal amount. These inflation adjustments are based upon the Consumer Price
Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The original principal value of TIPS is
guaranteed, even during period of deflation. At maturity, TIPS are redeemed at
the greater of their inflation-adjusted principal or par amount at original
issue. Other
261
types of inflation-protected securities may use other methods to adjust for
inflation and other measures of inflation. Additionally, inflation-protected
securities issued by entities other than the U.S. Treasury may not provide a
guarantee of principal value at maturity.
4. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Directors have
requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
5. 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 received distributions 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, using 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.
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. Additionally, 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.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the
Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the
inception of the Portfolios.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:

Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreements (each, a "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 Agreements
for the Portfolios will remain in effect through February 28, 2020 (February
28, 2021 for the DFA Oregon Municipal Bond Portfolio), 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. During the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 assumed expenses (amounts
in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed
(recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended
October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to
future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected below
(amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated
to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously
assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.
With respect to each Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year waived fees and/or
assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following such
recapture would be less than the expense cap that was in place when such prior
year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current
expense cap in place for a Portfolio.

(1)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of each
of the Portfolios listed above (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through its investment in other investment companies)
("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of each Portfolio, on an annualized basis, to the rates
listed above as a percentage of a class of the respective Portfolio's
average net assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount for such class of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to
exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount.
(2)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 its investment in other
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") of a class of each of the
Portfolios listed above so that such Portfolio Expenses, on an annualized
basis, do not exceed the rate reflected above for a class of each
264
such Portfolio (the "Expense Limitation Amount").At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount for a class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the
right to recover any fees previously waived to the extent that such recovery
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of
the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount.
(3)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of
the Portfolio (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears as a
shareholder of other funds managed by the Advisor, excluding money market
funds, but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly
through its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) ("Portfolio
Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of 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 are
less than the Expense Limitation Amount of a class of shares of the
Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of
the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount.
(4)The Advisor has agreed to waive all or a portion of its 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 Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio, on an
annualized basis, to the rate listed above as a percentage of the average
net assets of a class of the Portfolio (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At
any time that the Portfolio Expenses are less than the Expense Limitation
Amount of a class of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right
to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to
the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio
Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense
Limitation Amount.
(5)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of the
Portfolio's management fee to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid
through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money
Market Series (the "Underlying Funds"). In addition, under the Fee Waiver
Agreement, the Advisor has also agreed to waive all or a portion of the
management fee and to assume the ordinary operating 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 Money Market Series and the expenses that the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through its investment in unaffiliated
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to
limit the Portfolio Expenses of 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's annualized Portfolio Expenses are less than the Portfolio's
Expense Limitation Amount, described above, the Advisor retains the right to
recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the
extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses
of a class of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount. The
Advisor, however, shall not be reimbursed for any management fees previously
waived to offset the Portfolio's proportionate share of the management fees
paid by the Portfolio through its investment in other funds managed by the
Advisor.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Portfolios have entered into arrangements with their
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of the Portfolios' 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
Portfolio's net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, expenses
reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly,
the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
269
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' 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:
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.
275
2. INFLATION PROTECTION RISKS: Because the interest and/or principal
payments on an inflation-protected security are adjusted periodically for
changes in inflation, the income distributed by the DFA Diversified Fixed
Income Portfolio, DFA LTIP Portfolio, DFA Inflation-Protected Securities
Portfolio, DFA Short-Duration Real Return Portfolio, DFA Municipal Real Return
Portfolio and DFA California Municipal Real Return Portfolio may be irregular.
Although the U.S. Treasury guarantees to pay at least the original face value
of any inflation-protected securities the Treasury issues, other issuers may
not offer the same guarantee. Also, inflation-protected securities, including
those issued by the U.S. Treasury, are not protected against deflation. As a
result, in a period of deflation, the principal and income of
inflation-protected securities held by a Portfolio will decline and the
Portfolio may suffer a loss during such periods. While inflation-protected
securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends,
short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in a Portfolio's value.
For example, if interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation, the
Portfolio's investment in these securities may not be protected to the extent
that the increase is not reflected in the securities' inflation measures.
Additionally, positive adjustments to principal generally will result in
taxable income to a Portfolio at the time of such adjustments (which generally
would be distributed by the Portfolio as part of its taxable dividends), even
though the principal amount is not paid until maturity. The current market
value of inflation-protected securities is not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
Portfolios.
3. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The Portfolios listed below 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 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 of forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency
contracts. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and
from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the
U.S. dollar.
4. SWAP AGREEMENTS: The Portfolios noted below may enter into inflation swap
agreements to seek inflation protection. Inflation swap agreements are
contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase
in a price index (the Consumer Price Index with respect to CPI swaps) over the
term of the swap (with some lag on the inflation index), and the other pays a
compounded fixed rate. Inflation swap agreements may be used by the Portfolios
to hedge the inflation risk in nominal bonds (i.e. non-inflation indexed bonds)
thereby creating "synthetic" inflation-indexed bonds. Among other reasons, one
factor that may lead to changes in the values of inflation swap agreements are
changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the
relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If
nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest
rates may rise, which may lead to a change in the value of an inflation swap
agreement. Additionally, payments received by the Portfolios from inflation
swap agreements will result in taxable income, either as ordinary income or
capital gains, which will increase the amount of taxable distributions received
by shareholders.
The Advisor and the Fund do not believe that a Portfolio's obligations under
swap contracts are senior securities and, accordingly, the Portfolio will not
treat them as being subject to the Portfolio's borrowing or senior securities
restrictions. 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. To the extent that a Portfolio reasonably expects a swap
cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar
days or less without the sale or
276
disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, 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. Inflation swap
agreements are not currently subject to mandatory central clearing and
exchange-trading.
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 clearing house, as is the case with cleared swaps. As a result, a
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.
5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Portfolios may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions with institutions that the Advisor has determined are
creditworthy. The Portfolios, through their custodian, receive delivery of
underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral for
certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty's custodian
in a segregated account for the benefit of the Portfolios and the counterparty.
The counterparty will be required to maintain collateral with a value at least
equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including
interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the
event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include
possible delay or restrictions upon the Portfolios' ability to dispose of the
collateral and a possible decline in the value of the collateral during the
period while the Portfolios seek to assert its rights.
Repurchase agreements ("RA") permit the Portfolios, under certain
circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency),
to offset payables and/or receivables under the RA with collateral held and/or
posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the
Portfolios. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction
may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in
the event of the RA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the
terms of the RA, the Portfolios receive securities as collateral with a market
value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Portfolios upon
the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of
the RA counterparty, the Portfolios would recognize a liability with respect to
such excess collateral to reflect the Portfolios' obligation under bankruptcy
law to return the excess to the counterparty.

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 forward currency 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.
279
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets
and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Portfolios are subject to master netting agreements ("MNA") with certain
counterparties that govern the terms of derivative transactions and reduce the
counterparty risk associated with such transactions by specifying offsetting
mechanisms and collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels.
Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are
sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty
organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different MNA,
possibly resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single
counterparty. As the MNA's are specific to unique operations of different asset
types, they allow each Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a
counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions
governed under a single MNA with a counterparty. Certain MNA's contain
provisions which allow for the net settlement of receivable and payable
positions with the same counterparty if defined conditions are met.
The following table presents the Portfolios' gross and net amount of assets
and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any
related collateral received or pledged by the Portfolios as of October 31, 2019

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
282
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolio
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, 2019, that each Fund's available line of
credit was used.
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. 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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
I. SECURITIES LENDING:
Each Portfolio with securities on loan 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 Portfolios' collateral to be lower or higher than
the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be
adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the
borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by
the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities
on loan 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. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. Such Portfolios also
283
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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation 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, 2019:

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.
284
K. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
L. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the
investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
DFA TWO-YEAR FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to maximize total
returns consistent with preservation of capital by investing in high-quality
fixed income securities maturing in three years or less. The weighted average
maturity of the Portfolio will not exceed two years. The investment strategy
uses a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities based on changes in the
yield curve. The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable maturity
ranges of expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies. Maturity
targets are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums. The
average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 0.17 years as of October 31,
2019, from 1.38 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.07% for the
Portfolio and 4.90% for the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate & Government
Index, the Portfolio's benchmark. The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted
along the Portfolio's eligible maturity range, producing lower yields at the
longer end of the eligible maturity range and reducing expected capital
appreciation opportunities during the period. As a result, the Portfolio's
weighted average maturity was shortened during the period. Interest rates
decreased across the eligible maturity range, and realized term premiums were
positive for the period. As such, the Portfolio's exposure to securities with
maturities shorter than one year detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark. The Portfolio's focus on higher-quality corporate securities also
detracted from relative performance, as realized credit premiums were also
positive.

DFA TWO-YEAR GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
The DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio is designed to maximize total returns
consistent with preservation of capital by investing in securities of the U.S.
government and its agencies maturing in three years or less. The investment
strategy uses a variable maturity approach and shifts maturities based on
changes in the yield curve. The strategy uses current yields and identifies
favorable maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy and sell
strategies. Maturity targets are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations
for term premiums. The weighted average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to
15 days as of October 31, 2019, from 1.37 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.63% for the
Portfolio and 4.54% for the ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury & Agency Index,
the Portfolio's benchmark. The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted along the
Portfolio's eligible maturity range, producing lower yields at the longer end
of the eligible maturity range and reducing expected capital appreciation
opportunities during the period. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was shortened during the period. Interest rates decreased across the
eligible maturity range and realized term premiums were positive for the
period. The benchmark can hold securities with maturities between one and three
years, whereas the Portfolio must invest at least 80% of its assets in
securities with maturities of no longer than two years. The Portfolio's
exposure to securities with maturities shorter than one year and lack of
exposure to securities in the two- to three-year maturity range detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark.

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 and 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"
reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who
started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with
those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making
comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate
expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs
by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples
that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

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 twelve
portfolios, two of which, DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year
Government Portfolio (the "Portfolios") are presented in this report. The
remaining operational portfolios are presented in separate reports. The
Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the accounting and
reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946, "Financial
Services-Investment Companies."
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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)
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. 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 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.
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. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Schedules
of Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio,
303
U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity
Portfolio, U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio,
International Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging
Markets Core Equity Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income
Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees'
Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Directors have
requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio... 0.15%
DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio..... 0.15%
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, 2019, the total related amount paid by the Fund
to the CCO was $30 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of
the Portfolios are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
As of October 31, 2019, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):
DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio... $5
DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio..... 8
E. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios made the following
purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities
and in-kind redemptions (amounts in thousands):

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly,
the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term

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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had the following
capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains
with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):
UNLIMITED TOTAL
--------- ------
DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio.......... $ 301 $ 301
DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio............ 1,445 1,445
During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios used the following
capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income
tax purposes (amounts in thousands):
DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio.......... $334
DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio............ 130
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio..... $105,504 $111 $(16) $ 95
DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio....... 121,298 9 (39) (30)
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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.
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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment
306
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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
There were no borrowings by the Portfolios under the lines of credit during
the year ended October 31, 2019.
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. 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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
H. SECURITIES LENDING:
Each Portfolio with securities on loan 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 Portfolios' collateral to be lower or higher than
the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be
adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the
borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by
the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities
on loan 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. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. Such Portfolios 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 or unaffiliated money market funds
that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies
include
307
both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities. Additionally,
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 for taxation 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, 2019:

I. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Fund.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and warranties 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.
J. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
K. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
L. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which 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 Dimensional Investment Group Inc. and Shareholders
of DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio
OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of DFA Two-Year Fixed Income Portfolio
and DFA Two-Year Government Portfolio (two of the portfolios constituting
Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter collectively referred to as the
"Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for
the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019, including the
related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the "financial
statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian and the transfer agent of the investee fund;
when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith,
Douglas W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the
Nominating Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating
Committee for each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested
and interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to
the full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification
for Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor
and other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time
during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly,
Douglas W. Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The
Strategy Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with
respect to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the
Board or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible
new series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds include
additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of

SEE THE INSIDE FRONT COVER FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO YOUR
FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at (888)
576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper
copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary
or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
U.S. equities had mostly positive returns for the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

U.S. SOCIAL CORE EQUITY 2 PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market
capitalization stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and
higher-profitability stocks relative to the market. The Portfolio excludes from
purchase companies and industries that do not pass the Portfolio's social issue
screens. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,300
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.43% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on
small-cap stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as
small-caps generally underperformed large-caps for the period. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth) stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value stocks also
detracted from relative performance.
U.S. SUSTAINABILITY CORE 1 PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Sustainability Core Equity 1 Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market
capitalization stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and
higher-profitability stocks relative to the market. The Portfolio further
adjusts the weights of all eligible companies based on environmental and social
sustainability considerations, emphasizing companies with higher sustainability
scores and excluding or deemphasizing companies with lower sustainability
scores. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,200
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
7
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 13.39% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on
small-cap stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as
small-caps generally underperformed large-caps for the period. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth) stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value stocks also
detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the Portfolio's lesser
allocation to the energy sector (due to the Portfolio's sustainability screens)
contributed positively to relative performance, as the energy sector generally
underperformed.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was positive for the period. As
measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks. Value stocks
underperformed growth stocks as measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY CORE 1 PORTFOLIO
The International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of stocks in developed ex U.S. markets, with increased
exposure to stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative price
(value), and higher profitability. The Portfolio further adjusts the weights of
companies based on environmental and social sustainability considerations,
emphasizing companies with higher sustainability scores and excluding or
deemphasizing companies with lower sustainability scores. The investment
strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October
31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 4,000 securities in 22 eligible
developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1%
of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 11.26% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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 general exclusion of high emissions securities (due to
the Portfolio's sustainability screens) had a positive impact on performance
relative to the benchmark, as these stocks generally underperformed. Partially
offsetting the benefit of the Portfolio's sustainability screens, the
Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on small-caps had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed primarily of large-
and mid-cap stocks, as small-caps underperformed large-caps for the period.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The International Social 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, lower relative price
(value), and higher profitability. The Portfolio excludes from purchase
companies and industries that do not pass the Portfolio's social issue screens.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 4,500 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.18% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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. With small-cap stocks underperforming large-cap stocks in developed ex
U.S. markets for the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on
small-caps had a negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark,
which is composed primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks. The Portfolio's
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks also detracted from
relative performance, as value stocks underperformed high relative price
(growth) stocks. At the sector level, the Portfolio's lesser allocation to
health care (due to the Portfolio's social screens) had a negative impact on
relative performance, as the health care sector generally outperformed.
EMERGING MARKETS SUSTAINABILITY CORE 1 PORTFOLIO
The Emerging Markets Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of stocks in emerging markets, with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalization, lower relative price (value), and
higher profitability. The Portfolio further adjusts the weights of companies
based on environmental and social sustainability considerations, emphasizing
companies with higher sustainability scores and excluding or deemphasizing
companies with lower sustainability scores. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 2,800 securities in 21 eligible emerging markets.
Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's
assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 12.85% for the

FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
DFA SOCIAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to maximize total returns
through exposure to a broad portfolio of investment grade debt securities of
U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government issuers using a variable credit
approach. The Portfolio emphasizes investment grade obligations rated in the
lower half of the investment grade spectrum, except when Dimensional believes
the expected credit premium is relatively low. The Portfolio seeks to limit its
investment to securities that are consistent with the Portfolio's social issue
screens. The Portfolio primarily invests in securities that mature within 15
years and generally maintains a weighted average duration of no more than a
quarter of a year greater than, and no less than one year below, the weighted
average duration of the Portfolio's benchmark. The currency exposure associated
with non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities within the Portfolio is generally
hedged back to the U.S. dollar. The weighted average duration of the Portfolio
decreased to 5.73 years as of October 31, 2019, from 5.92 years on October 31,
2018.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 12.72% for the
Portfolio and 11.51% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the
Portfolio's benchmark. Although the U.S. yield curve flattened during the
period, it was still upwardly sloped in the intermediate and longer end,
indicating positive expected term premiums for intermediate-term strategies.
Realized term premiums were positive during the period. Credit spreads were
little changed during the period and realized credit premiums were also
positive. The Portfolio's underweight to securities in the one- to five-year
maturity range and overweight to securities in the intermediate segment of the
yield curve contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark.
The Portfolio's overweight to corporate securities also contributed positively
to relative performance.
DFA GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio is designed to maximize
total returns through exposure to a broad portfolio of investment grade debt
securities of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government issuers using a
variable credit approach. The Portfolio emphasizes investment grade obligations
rated in the lower half of the investment grade spectrum, except when
Dimensional believes the expected credit premium is relatively low. The
Portfolio seeks to limit its investment to securities that are consistent with
the Portfolio's sustainability screens. The Portfolio generally maintains a
weighted average duration of no more than half a year greater than, and no less
than one year less than, the weighted average duration of the Portfolio's
benchmark. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to the U.S. dollar.
The average duration of the Portfolio was 6.83 years as of October 31, 2019.
From its inception on November 6, 2018, through October 31, 2019, total
returns were 11.65% for the Portfolio and 10.83% for the Bloomberg Barclays
Global Aggregate Bond Index (hedged to USD), the Portfolio's benchmark.
Although global developed yield curves generally flattened during the period,
they were still upwardly sloped in the intermediate and longer end, indicating
positive expected term premiums for intermediate-term strategies. Realized term
premiums were positive during the period. Credit spreads remained relatively
unchanged during the period and realized credit premiums were also positive.
The Portfolio's underweight to securities in the one- to six-year maturity
range and overweight to intermediate-term securities contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark. The Portfolio's overweight to corporate
securities also contributed positively to relative performance. The exclusion
of certain high emissions securities (due to the Portfolio's sustainability
screens) did not have a material impact on performance relative to the
benchmark.

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 and 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" reflects 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund" ) is an open-end management
investment company whose shares are offered without a sales charge, generally
to institutional investors and clients of registered investment advisors. The
Fund offers one hundred and three operational portfolios, eight of which, U.S.
Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio,
International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio, International Social Core Equity
Portfolio, Emerging Markets Social Core Equity Portfolio, DFA Social Fixed
Income Portfolio, Emerging Markets Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio, and DFA
Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), are included
in this report. The remaining ninety-five 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."
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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)
Debt securities held by the DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Global
Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio are valued on the basis of evaluated
prices provided by one or more pricing services or other reasonably reliable
sources including broker/dealers that typically handle the purchase and sale of
such securities. Securities 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 securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the
hierarchy.
Securities held by U.S. Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio and U.S.
Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") and
International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio, International Social Core Equity
Portfolio, Emerging Markets Social Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets
Sustainability Core 1 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
68
bid and ask 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 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 at which 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 pricing of the International Equity
Portfolios' 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 calculated
closing prices of the foreign investments on their primary foreign securities
markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Directors 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 uses 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 Portfolios 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. Valuation hierarchy tables are included at the end of the Summary
Schedules of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of the International Equity Portfolios, DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and
DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio whose values are initially
expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the mean
between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by
generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the translation, the
Portfolios enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract
is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current
market exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days.
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, DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and
DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio do not isolate the effect of
foreign exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the
market prices of securities, whether realized or unrealized.
69
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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios, DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA
Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent
amounts actually received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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 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 Portfolios estimate the character of
received distributions 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,
using 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.
The International Equity Portfolios, DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and
DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio 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 International Equity Portfolios, DFA Social Fixed Income
Portfolio and DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio 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. Additionally, 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 Social Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets
Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio are subject to tax on short-term capital gains
for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis and due upon
sale of individual securities.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios.
70
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios' investment management
fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following
effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
U.S. Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio.............. 0.25%
U.S. Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio............. 0.23%
International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio.... 0.30%
International Social Core Equity Portfolio....... 0.29%
Emerging Markets Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio. 0.50%
Emerging Markets Social Core Equity Portfolio.... 0.47%
DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio................ 0.20%
DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio. 0.24%
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (a "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain fees, including management fees, and in some instances, assume
certain expenses of the Portfolios, as described in the notes below. The Fee
Waiver Agreements for the Portfolios will remain in effect through February 28,
2020 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. During the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 assumed expenses
(amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses
assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year
ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject
to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are also reflected
below (amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not
obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses
previously assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date
of recovery. With respect to each Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year fees waived
and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following
such recapture would be less than the expense cap that was in place when such
prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current
expense cap in place for a Portfolio.

(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee to the extent necessary to reduce the Portfolio's ordinary
operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through its investment in other
investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") of a class of the Portfolio so
that such Portfolio Expenses, on an annualized basis, do not exceed the rate
listed above as a percentage of the class of the Portfolio's average net assets
(the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a
class of the U.S. Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount of a class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to
recover fees previously
71
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such reimbursement
will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of
the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount.
(2) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of each of
the Portfolios listed above (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs
indirectly through its investment in other investment companies) ("Portfolio
Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class
of each Portfolio listed above, on an annualized basis, to the rates listed
above as a percentage of a class of the respective Portfolio's average net
assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount
for such class of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to
recover for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to
the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses
for such class of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the applicable Expense
Limitation Amount identified above. Prior to January 1, 2017, the Expense
Limitation Amounts for the International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio,
International Social Core Equity Portfolio and Emerging Markets Social Core
Equity Portfolio were 0.42%, 0.60% and 0.85%, respectively, of the average net
assets of each such Portfolio on an annualized basis.
(3) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of each
of the Portfolios listed above (including the expenses that the Portfolio bears
as a shareholder of other funds managed by the Advisor, excluding money market
funds, but excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in unaffiliated investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to
the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of each
Portfolio listed above to the rates listed above as a percentage of the average
net assets of a class of the respective Portfolio on an annualized basis (the
"Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that a Portfolio's annualized
Portfolio Expenses are less than the Portfolio's Expense Limitation Amount for
such class of shares of the Portfolio, as described above, the Advisor retains
the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously
assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the annualized
Portfolio Expenses of such class of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the
Expense Limitation Amount.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Portfolios have entered into arrangements with their
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of 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 Portfolio's net
assets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, expenses reduced were as
follows (amounts in thousands):

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 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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows

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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had the following
capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains
with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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 any of 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. Each Portfolios' federal tax returns for the
prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue
Service.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' 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:
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.
2. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA
Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio hedge their foreign currency
exposure to attempt to protect against uncertainty in the level of future
foreign currency exchange rates. The DFA Social Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA
Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates or
to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. The DFA Social
Fixed Income Portfolio and DFA Global Sustainability Fixed Income Portfolio
also may enter into a forward contract to buy or sell the amount of foreign
currency approximating the value of some or all of the portfolio securities
quoted or denominated in such foreign currency. 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 a
Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statements
of Operations as the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency contracts.
3. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International
Equity Portfolios listed below 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International Equity
Portfolios, however, do not intend to sell futures contracts to establish short
positions in
77
individual securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Domestic
Equity Portfolios and the International Equity Portfolios deposit cash or
pledge U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount 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 Domestic
Equity Portfolios and the International Equity 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 entrance 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 Domestic Equity Portfolios and the International Equity Portfolios
entering into stock index futures are subject to equity price risk from those
futures contracts.

the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had limited activity in
futures contracts.
OFFSETTING OF DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that
will help a Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (OTC)
derivatives and forward currency 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, a
Portfolio 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, a Portfolio does not offset derivative
assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in
the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table presents each Portfolio's gross and net amount of assets
and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available line
of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 advisor (or affiliated
investment advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions
entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral.
Additionally, the following Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting
of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency
securities as follows (amounts in thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
U.S. Social Core Equity 2 Portfolio............... $32,028
U.S. Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio.............. 61,117
International Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio..... 12,129
International Social Core Equity Portfolio........ 15,065
Emerging Markets Sustainability Core 1 Portfolio.. 3,710
Emerging Markets Social Core Equity Portfolio..... 27,325
The Portfolios invest the cash collateral, as described below, and record 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
Portfolios' collateral to be lower or higher than the expected thresholds. If
this were to occur, the collateral would be adjusted the next business day to
ensure adequate collateralization. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the
other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral
may be subject to legal proceedings. If the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities
on loan 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted
with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with
other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Portfolios 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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income
rates.

secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
83
M. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, or 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.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agent of the
investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.

science have been at the heart of Dimensional. We recognize that the assets you
entrust to our firm play an important role in your future.
With a 38-year track record, our investment strategies are guided by rigorous
academic research, deep convictions about the power of capital markets, and the
importance of information in security prices.
We aim to add value through implementation by using a systematic approach to
invest in securities with higher expected returns and implementing a robust
portfolio management process that seeks to increase returns and manage risk. We
apply flexible trading algorithms to minimize potential price impact.
We take pride in the many longstanding clients we have had the honor of working
with over the last four decades, and we continue to seek opportunities to raise
the bar both within our company and the industry.
On behalf of more than 1,400 employees at Dimensional aiming to serve you, we
thank you.
Sincerely,
/s/ David P. Butler /s/ Gerard K. O'Reilly

underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

TAX-MANAGED U.S. MARKETWIDE VALUE PORTFOLIO
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of U.S. low relative price (value) stocks by purchasing
shares of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series, a Master Fund managed
by Dimensional that invests in such stocks while considering the federal tax
implications of investment decisions. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Master
Fund held approximately 1,200 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the
year was less than 1% of the Master Fund's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.66% for the
Portfolio and 10.65% for the Russell 3000(R) Value Index, the Portfolio's
benchmark. As a result of the Master Fund's diversified investment approach,
the Portfolio's performance was determined principally by broad trends in the
U.S. equity market rather than by the behavior of a limited number of stocks.
With low relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative
price (growth) stocks, the Master Fund's greater emphasis on value stocks
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. At the sector level, the
Master Fund's exclusions of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certain
utilities had a negative impact on relative performance, as REITs and utilities
generally outperformed in the U.S.

of U.S. securities while considering the federal tax implications of investment
decisions. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,100
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 13.03% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's exclusion of real
estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from performance relative to the
benchmark, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.S.
TAX-MANAGED U.S. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of U.S. small-and mid-cap value stocks. The tax management
strategies employed by the Portfolio are designed to maximize the after-tax
value of a shareholder's investment. The investment strategy is process driven,
emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held
approximately 1,500 securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was
less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 1.93% for the
Portfolio and 3.22% 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's
exclusions of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certain utilities
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as REITs and utilities
generally outperformed in the U.S. Conversely, with mid-caps outperforming
small-caps for the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of mid-caps contributed
positively to performance relative to the small-cap benchmark.
TAX-MANAGED U.S. SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
The Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified
group of U.S. small-cap stocks. The tax management strategies employed by the
Portfolio are designed to maximize the after-tax value of a shareholder's
investment. The Portfolio generally excludes stocks with the lowest
profitability and highest relative price. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,900 securities. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.18% for the
Portfolio and 4.90% 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 stocks
with the lowest profitability and highest relative price detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark, as those stocks outperformed. The
Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) also detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed in the U.S.
T.A. U.S. CORE EQUITY 2 PORTFOLIO
The T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group
of U.S. securities with increased exposure to smaller market capitalization
stocks, lower relative price (value) stocks, and higher-profitability stocks
relative to the market while considering federal tax implications of investment
decisions. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad
diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 2,600
securities. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 10.25% for the
Portfolio and 13.49% 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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on
small-cap stocks detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as
small-caps generally underperformed large-caps for the period. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth) stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value stocks also
detracted from relative performance.
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Performance of non-U.S. developed markets was positive for the period. As
measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks. Value stocks
underperformed growth stocks as measured by the MSCI World ex USA indices.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
TAX-MANAGED DFA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO
The Tax-Managed DFA International Value Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of developed ex U.S. large company value stocks. The
tax-managed strategies employed by the Portfolio are designed to maximize the
after-tax value of a shareholder's investment. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification, with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller total market capitalizations, lower relative price (value),
and higher-profitability within the large-cap value segment of developed ex
U.S. markets. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 540
securities in 22 eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.52% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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. With low relative price (value) stocks underperforming high relative
price (growth) stocks for the period, the Portfolio's focus on value stocks
detracted from performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark.
T.A. WORLD EX U.S. CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio invests in a broadly
diversified group of stocks in developed ex U.S. and emerging markets, with

implications of investment decisions. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 8,700 securities in 43 eligible developed and
emerging markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of
the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.40% for the
Portfolio and 11.27% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net

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. With small-cap stocks
underperforming

large-cap stocks in developed ex U.S. and emerging markets for the period, the
Portfolio's inclusion of and emphasis on small-caps had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, which is composed primarily of large-
and mid- cap stocks. The Portfolio's greater emphasis on low relative price
(value) stocks also detracted from relative performance, as value stocks
underperformed high relative price (growth) stocks in developed ex U.S. and
emerging markets.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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"
reflects 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund consists of one hundred and
three operational portfolios, seven of which (the "Portfolios"), are included
in this section of the report. The remaining ninety-six portfolios are
presented in separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and
accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"),
Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio (the "Feeder Fund") invests
substantially all of its assets in The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
(the "Series"), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. As
of October 31, 2019, the Feeder Fund was the owner of record of 74% of the
total outstanding shares of its 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.
Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value
Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2
Portfolio, Tax-Managed DFA International Value Portfolio and T.A. World ex U.S.
Core Equity Portfolio each invests directly in securities.
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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 Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S.
Targeted Value Portfolio, Tax- Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, and T.A. U.S.
Core Equity 2 Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") and Tax-Managed DFA
International Value Portfolio and T.A. World ex U.S. 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 ask prices.
Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
security is primarily traded.
48
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.
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 pricing of the International Equity
Portfolios' 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 calculated
closing prices of the foreign investments 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 uses data furnished by an independent
pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market
values of foreign investments). When the International Equity Portfolios use
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 Portfolios 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.
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio's investments reflect its
proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series. 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. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the end of the Summary
Schedules of Portfolio Holdings (except for the Feeder Fund). The methodology
or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the
risk associated with investing in those securities.
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 ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally
recognized reliable sources. To facilitate this translation, the Portfolios
enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot
agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market
exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. 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 foreign
exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices
of securities, whether realized or unrealized.
49
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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually
received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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, 2019, 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 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 Portfolios estimate the character of
received distributions that may be considered return of capital distributions.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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.
The Feeder Fund recognizes its pro-rata share of net investment income and
realized and unrealized gains/losses of investment securities, on a daily
basis, from its Series, which is treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes.
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 International Equity 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.
Additionally, 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.
T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio is subject to tax on short-term
capital gains for investments in India. Such taxes are accrued on a daily basis
and due upon sale of individual securities.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio....... 0.35%
Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio................. 0.20%
Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio......... 0.42%
Tax-Managed U.S. Small Cap Portfolio.............. 0.47%*
T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio................. 0.22%

T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio.......... 0.32%
/*/ Effective as of February 28, 2019, the management fee payable by the
Portfolio was reduced from 0.50% to 0.45%.
Pursuant to Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreements (each, a "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually
agreed to waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses
of the Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio,
and T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio, as described in the notes below.
The Fee Waiver Agreements for the Portfolios below will remain in effect
through February 28, 2020, 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. Pursuant to a Fee
Waiver Agreement with the Feeder Fund, the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain management fees paid by the Feeder Fund, as described in the
notes below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Feeder Fund will remain in effect
permanently, unless terminated by the Fund. During the year ended October 31,
2019, 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 assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount
of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses
assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived
fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of
October 31, 2019, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). The Fund, on
behalf of the non-feeder Portfolios listed, is not obligated to reimburse the
Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the
Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery. With respect
to each Fee Waiver Agreement for the non-feeder Portfolios, prior year waived
fees and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio
following such recapture would be less than the expense cap that was in place
when such prior year fees were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than
the current expense cap in place for a Portfolio.

waive all or a portion of the management fee of the Feeder Fund to the
extent necessary to limit the total management fees paid to the Advisor by
the Feeder Fund, including the proportionate share of the management fees
the Feeder Fund pays indirectly through its investment in other funds
managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid indirectly through its

the extent necessary to reduce the expenses of a class of the Portfolio when
its total operating expenses exceed the rate listed above as a percentage of
the average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis
(the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses
of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for
a class of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees
previously waived and/or any expenses previously assumed to the extent that
such recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such
class of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount.
(3)The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of the
T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio

("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio
Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the rate listed above as a
percentage of the average net assets of a class of the Portfolio on an
annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount for such class of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to
exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount.

Portfolio incurs indirectly through investment of its securities lending
cash collateral in the Money Market Series and its investment in
unaffiliated investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent
necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the
rate listed above as a percentage of the average net assets of a class of
the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount").
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Expense Limitation Amount was 0.60% of the
average net assets of such class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. At
any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio are less
than the Expense Limitation Amount for a class of the Portfolio, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the
annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class of shares of the Portfolio to
exceed the Expense Limitation Amount.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, certain Portfolios have entered into arrangements with their
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of each Portfolio's custody expenses. Custody expense in the
accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.

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 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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, 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, 2019,
primarily attributable to net foreign currency gains/losses, realized gains on
securities considered to be "passive foreign investment companies,"
non-deductible expenses, foreign capital gains tax, tax equalization, were
reclassified to the accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no
effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had the following
capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains
with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):

loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax
purposes.

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.
ASC 740 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.

G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' 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:
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: The T.A. World ex U.S. Core 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 decision to hedge the T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity
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 T.A.
World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss, which is
presented in the Portfolio's Statement of Operations as the change in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward currency contracts. When the
contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the T.A. World ex U.S.
Core Equity 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 forward currency contracts.
3. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios listed below 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, a Portfolio deposits cash or pledges U.S.
Government securities to a broker, in an amount 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
Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed. When the
contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss, which is
presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on
futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time
it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance 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.
The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amounts

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. Each portfolio is
permitted to borrow, subject to its investment
58
limitations, up to a maximum of $500 million, as long as total borrowings under
the line of credit do not exceed $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio
is individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances under the
line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at
rates agreed upon by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no
commitment fee on the unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for
the discretionary line of credit may be terminated by either party at any time.
The line of credit agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Directors/Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions
entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, certain of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral.
Additionally, the following Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting
of short- and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency
securities as follows (amounts in thousands):

T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio................. 286,037
Tax-Managed DFA International Value Portfolio..... 1,207
T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio.......... 26,896
Each Portfolio with securities on loan 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 Portfolios' collateral to be lower or higher than
the expected thresholds. If this were to occur, the collateral would be
adjusted the next business day to ensure adequate collateralization. In the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. If the
borrower fails to return loaned securities, cash collateral being maintained by
the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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, a Portfolio with securities on
loan 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted
with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with
other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Portfolios 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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this
60
paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed
securities. Additionally, a 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
for taxation 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, 2019:

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Fund's financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
61
M. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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

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 Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series has been named as a defendant
in a multi-district litigation pending in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "Court"), captioned IN RE TRIBUNE
COMPANY FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE LITIGATION, No. 11-MD-2296-RJS (the "Tribune
MDL"). The Tribune MDL arises from the 2007 leveraged buyout of The Tribune
Company ("Tribune") (the "LBO") and Tribune's subsequent bankruptcy and
reorganization. In connection with the LBO, thousands of Tribune shareholders,
including The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide 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 (the "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 lacked standing to pursue their claims. The parties appealed the
Court's dismissal order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit (the "Second Circuit") and on March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit
affirmed the dismissal, albeit on the grounds that the individual creditor
plaintiffs' claims were preempted by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for
securities transactions. The individual creditor plaintiffs filed a petition
for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the "Supreme
Court"), seeking review of the Second Circuit's ruling. Thereafter, the
individual creditor plaintiffs moved the Second Circuit to review its prior
ruling in light of the Supreme Court's decision in MERIT MANAGEMENT GROUP, LP
v. FTI CONSULTING, INC., 138 S.Ct. 883 (2018) ("Merit Mgmt."), which addressed
the scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. The
Second Circuit agreed to review the matter and withdrew its mandate with
respect to the affirmance of the dismissal order. Consequently, the Supreme
Court dismissed the individual creditor plaintiffs' petition for certiorari.
The Second Circuit's review is pending.
On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the shareholder defendants' motion to
dismiss the claims against them in the Committee Action. The Trustee moved for
leave from the Court to file an amended complaint to assert new constructive
fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants in light of the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Court denied the motion, ruling that the proposed
amendment would unduly prejudice the shareholder defendants and would be futile
because the Trustee's proposed constructive fraudulent transfer claims would be
barred by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions,
notwithstanding the Merit Mgmt. decision. The Trustee appealed the Court's
dismissal order and order denying the Trustee's motion for leave to amend to
the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit appeal is pending.
62
Litigation counsel to The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series in the
Lawsuits has advised management that it does not believe that it is possible to
predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or
quantify the ultimate exposure to The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
arising from the Lawsuits. Until The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
can do so, no reduction of the net asset value of The Tax-Managed U.S.
Marketwide 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
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series at this time.
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide 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
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series will pay or receive, as the case may
be, a price based on the net asset value of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide
Value Series, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys' fees
and costs relating to the Lawsuits will be borne by The Tax-Managed U.S.
Marketwide Value Series as incurred and in a manner similar to any other
expenses incurred by The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments/summary schedules of portfolio holdings,
of Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S. Equity
Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, Tax-Managed U.S. Small
Cap Portfolio, T.A. U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, Tax-Managed DFA International
Value Portfolio and T.A. World ex U.S. Core Equity Portfolio (seven of the
portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter
collectively referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the
related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2019
(collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the Portfolios as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each
of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended
October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the
investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
U.S. equities had mostly positive returns for the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large- cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

TAX-MANAGED U.S. MARKETWIDE VALUE SERIES
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series invests in a broadly
diversified group of U.S. low relative price (value) stocks while considering
the federal tax implications of investment decisions. The investment strategy
is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019,
the Series held approximately 1,200 securities. Average cash exposure
throughout the year was less than 1% of the Series' assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.83% for the
Series and 10.65% for the Russell 3000(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 by
the behavior of a limited number of stocks. With low relative price (value)
stocks generally underperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the
Series' greater emphasis on value stocks detracted from performance relative to
the benchmark. At the sector level, the Series' exclusions of real estate
investment trusts (REITs) and certain utilities had a negative impact on
relative performance, as REITs and utilities generally outperformed in the U.S.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
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 and 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" reflects
the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started
with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with
the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the
period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result by
the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with those
of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons
because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a
5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs by comparing this
hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in
shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and
help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs,
if applicable. The "Annualized Expense Ratio" represents the actual expenses
for the six-month period indicated.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
(UNAUDITED)
The SEC requires that all funds file a complete Schedule of Investments with
the SEC for their first and third fiscal quarters as an exhibit to their
reports on Form N-PORT. For The DFA Investment Trust Company, this would be for
the fiscal quarters ending January 31 and July 31. Such Form N-PORT filing must
be made within 60 days of the end of the quarter. The DFA Investment Trust
Company filed its most recent Form N-PORT with the SEC on September 27 and 30,
2019. They are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect:
(512) 306-7400; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, 6300 Bee
Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's website at
http://www.sec.gov.
-------------------
SEC regulations permit a fund to include in its reports to shareholders a
"Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings" in lieu of a full Schedule of
Investments. The Summary Schedule of Portfolio Holdings reports the fund's 50
largest holdings in unaffiliated issuers and any investments that exceed one
percent of the fund's net assets at the end of the reporting period. The
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; by mailing a request to Dimensional Fund Advisors LP,
6300 Bee Cave Road, Building One, Austin, TX 78746; or by visiting the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 used. The
following table, which presents portfolio holdings as a percentage of total
investments before short-term investments and collateral for loaned securities,
is provided in compliance with this requirement. The categories shown below
represent broad industry sectors. Each industry sector consists of one or more
specific industry classifications.

THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
THE TAX-MANAGED U.S. MARKETWIDE VALUE SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
The DFA Investment Trust Company (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Trust consists of eleven operational portfolios, one of which, The Tax-Managed
U.S. Marketwide Value Series (the "Series"), is presented in this section of
the report. The remaining ten operational portfolios are presented in separate
reports. The Series 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."
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, the
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 uses 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,
and 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 Series, including over-the-counter securities, are
valued at the last quoted sale price of the day.
Securities held by the Series 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 Series values the securities within the range of the
most recent quoted bid and ask 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.
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.
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 Series 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.
76
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
Schedule of Portfolio Holdings. The methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Trustee of the Trust may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/Trustees' Fees & Expenses. As of
October 31, 2019, 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 $190 (in thousands).
The Trustees may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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, 2019, none of the Trustees have requested or received
a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
3. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date.
Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are 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 estimates the character of received
distributions 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, using the
effective interest method. Expenses directly attributable to the Series are
directly charged. Common expenses of the Trust or its Series are allocated
using methods approved by the Board, generally based on average net assets.
C. Investment Advisor:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Series'
investment management fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor
based on the following effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series...... 0.20%
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, 2019, the total related amount paid by the Trust to
the CCO was $73 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the Series is
included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.
77
D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Series made the following purchases
and sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities, in-kind
redemptions and U.S. Government securities (amounts in thousands):

E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Series is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and
therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Any net
investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses have been deemed
to have been "passed down" to its partners.
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
- ---------- ------------ -------------- --------------
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series...... $4,059,954 $3,483,291 $(166,447) $3,316,844
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
ASC 740 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 the Series' financial statements. The Series 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 Series' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
78
F. 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:
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
1. 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, does not intend to sell futures contracts to
establish short positions in individual securities. Upon entering into a
futures contract, the Series deposits cash or pledges U.S. Government
securities to a broker, in an amount 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 records a realized gain or loss, which is presented in the Statement
of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on futures, equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance 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 will be subject to equity price risk
when entering into stock index futures. Counterparty credit risk related to
exchange-traded futures is minimal because the exchange's clearinghouse, as
counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against
default.
The following is a summary of the realized and change in unrealized gains
and losses from the Series' derivative instrument holdings categorized by
primary risk exposure for the year ended October 31, 2019 (amounts in
thousands):

the year ended October 31, 2019, the Series had limited activity in futures
contracts.
G. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
79
The Trust, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the Series under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):

The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series...... --
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive
days during the year ended October 31, 2019, that the Series' available line
of credit was used.
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.
Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days and may be called on one
business day's notice.
The Series did not use the interfund lending program during the year ended
October 31, 2019.
H. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled
meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered
into by the Series complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the Board
of Trustees of the Trust.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Series under Rule
17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

I. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, the Series had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which the Series received cash collateral. Additionally,
the Series received non-cash collateral consisting of short- and/or long-term
U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as follows (amounts in
thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series.......................... $72,251
The 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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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, the
Series 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 Series will generally invest
the cash collateral received for the loaned securities in The DFA Short Term
Investment Fund (the "Money Market Series"), an affiliated registered money
market fund advised by the Advisor for which the Advisor receives a management
fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Series. Income
received from the Money Market Series is netted with fees for securities
lending and collateral investment expenses and with other payments to and from
borrowers of securities. The 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 or unaffiliated money market funds
that are registered or unregistered. For purposes of this paragraph, agencies
include both agency debentures and agency mortgage-backed securities.
Additionally, the 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 for

J. INDEMNITEES; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS:
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees 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.
K. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Series' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Series' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
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 Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series has been named as a defendant
in a multi-district litigation pending in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York (the "Court"), captioned IN RE TRIBUNE
COMPANY FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE LITIGATION, No. 11-MD-2296-RJS (the "Tribune
MDL"). The Tribune MDL arises from the 2007 leveraged buyout of The Tribune
Company ("Tribune") (the "LBO") and Tribune's subsequent bankruptcy and
reorganization. In connection with the LBO, thousands of Tribune shareholders,
including The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide 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 (the "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 lacked standing to pursue their claims. The parties appealed the
Court's dismissal order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit (the "Second Circuit") and on March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit
affirmed the dismissal, albeit on the grounds that the individual creditor
plaintiffs' claims were preempted by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for
securities transactions. The individual creditor plaintiffs filed a petition
for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the "Supreme
Court"), seeking review of the Second Circuit's ruling. Thereafter, the
individual creditor plaintiffs moved the Second Circuit to review its prior
ruling in light of the Supreme Court's decision in MERIT MANAGEMENT GROUP, LP
v. FTI CONSULTING, INC., 138 S.Ct. 883 (2018) ("Merit Mgmt."), which addressed
the scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. The
Second Circuit agreed to review the matter and withdrew its mandate with
respect to the affirmance of the dismissal order. Consequently, the Supreme
Court dismissed the individual creditor plaintiffs' petition for certiorari.
The Second Circuit's review is pending.
82
On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the shareholder defendants' motion to
dismiss the claims against them in the Committee Action. The Trustee moved for
leave from the Court to file an amended complaint to assert new constructive
fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants in light of the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Court denied the motion, ruling that the proposed
amendment would unduly prejudice the shareholder defendants and would be futile
because the Trustee's proposed constructive fraudulent transfer claims would be
barred by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions,
notwithstanding the Merit Mgmt. decision. The Trustee appealed the Court's
dismissal order and order denying the Trustee's motion for leave to amend to
the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit appeal is pending.
Litigation counsel to The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series in the
Lawsuits has advised management that it does not believe that it is possible to
predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or
quantify the ultimate exposure to The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
arising from the Lawsuits. Until The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
can do so, no reduction of the net asset value of The Tax-Managed U.S.
Marketwide 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
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series at this time.
The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide 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
Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series will pay or receive, as the case may
be, a price based on the net asset value of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide
Value Series, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys' fees
and costs relating to the Lawsuits will be borne by The Tax-Managed U.S.
Marketwide Value Series as incurred and in a manner similar to any other
expenses incurred by The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series.
M. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series
through the date on which 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 of The DFA Investment Trust Company and Shareholders
of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide Value Series
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the summary schedule of portfolio holdings, of The Tax-Managed U.S. Marketwide
Value Series (one of the series constituting The DFA Investment Trust Company,
hereafter referred to as the "Series") as of October 31, 2019, the related
statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31,
2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as
the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Series as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended
October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended October 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Series' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Series' financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Series in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian, brokers and the transfer agent of the
investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.

FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, you may not be receiving paper copies of a
Portfolio's annual and semi-annual shareholder reports by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company
that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract or from
your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the reports,
the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website,
and will notify you by mail each time a shareholder report is posted and
provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for
requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from the insurance company or your financial intermediary anytime by following
the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your
financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your
financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your
shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance
company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive
reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your
contract with the insurance company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
U.S. EQUITY MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
U.S. equities had mostly positive returns for the period. The broad U.S.
equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000(R) Index, gained approximately
13.5%. As measured by Russell indices, small-cap stocks underperformed
large-cap stocks, and mid-cap stocks, a subset of the large-cap universe,
underperformed large-cap stocks but outperformed small-cap stocks as measured
by Russell indices. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as measured by
the Russell indices.

VA U.S. TARGETED VALUE PORTFOLIO
The VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group
of U.S. small- and mid-cap value stocks. The investment strategy is process
driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Portfolio held approximately 1,300 securities. Average cash exposure throughout
the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 0.85% for the
Portfolio and 3.22% 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's
exclusions of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certain utilities
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as REITs and utilities
generally outperformed in the U.S. Conversely, with mid-caps outperforming
small-caps for the period, the Portfolio's inclusion of mid-caps contributed
positively to performance relative to the small-cap benchmark.
VA U.S. LARGE VALUE PORTFOLIO
The VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio is designed to capture the returns of U.S.
large company low relative price (value) stocks. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher profitability within the large-cap value segment of the U.S. market. As
of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 320 securities. Average
cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.08% for the
Portfolio and 11.21% for the Russell 1000(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 by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. With low
relative price (value) stocks generally underperforming high relative price
(growth)
8
stocks, the Portfolio's greater emphasis on value stocks detracted from
performance relative to the benchmark. At the sector level, the Portfolio's
exclusions of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and certain utilities also
detracted from relative performance, as REITs and utilities generally
outperformed in the U.S.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
VA INTERNATIONAL VALUE PORTFOLIO
The VA International Value Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S. large
company value stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification, with increased exposure to stocks with smaller total
market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability
within the large-cap value segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 510 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 3.61% for the
Portfolio and 11.08% 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. With low relative price (value) stocks underperforming high relative
price (growth) stocks for the period, the Portfolio's focus on value stocks
detracted from performance relative to the style-neutral benchmark.
VA INTERNATIONAL SMALL PORTFOLIO
The VA International Small Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S. small
company stocks. The Portfolio generally
10
excluded stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative price. The
investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of
October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 3,500 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 6.30% for the
Portfolio and 8.61% 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. At the sector level, the Portfolio's exclusion of real estate
investment trusts (REITs) detracted from performance relative to the benchmark,
as REITs generally outperformed in developed ex U.S. markets. With micro-caps
underperforming small-caps for the period, the Portfolio's greater allocation
to micro-cap stocks also detracted from relative performance.
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
VA SHORT-TERM FIXED PORTFOLIO
The VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio is designed to achieve a stable real
return in excess of the rate of inflation by generally investing in
high-quality fixed income securities and maintaining a weighted average
portfolio maturity of one year or less. The investment strategy uses a variable
maturity approach and shifts maturities based on changes in the yield curve.
The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable maturity ranges of
expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies. Maturity targets
are shifted based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums. The weighted
average maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 50 days as of October 31, 2019,
from 336 days as of October 31, 2018.
11
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 2.86% for the
Portfolio versus 2.71% for the ICE BofAML U.S. 6-Month Treasury Bill Index and
3.28% for The ICE BofAML 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, the Portfolio's
benchmarks. The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted along the Portfolio's
eligible maturity range, producing lower yields at the longer end of the
eligible maturity range and reducing expected capital appreciation
opportunities during the period. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was shortened during the period. Interest rates decreased across the
eligible maturity range and realized term premiums were positive for the
period. As such, the Portfolio's exposure to securities with maturities greater
than one year contributed positively to performance relative to the ICE BofAML
U.S. 6-Month Treasury Bill Index. Conversely, the Portfolio's shorter weighted
average maturity detracted from performance relative to the ICE BofAML 1-Year
U.S. Treasury Note Index.
VA GLOBAL BOND PORTFOLIO
The VA Global Bond Portfolio is designed to provide a market rate of return
by investing in U.S. and foreign government securities, high-quality corporate
fixed income securities, and currency-hedged global fixed income instruments
maturing in five years or less. The currency exposure associated with non-U.S.
dollar-denominated securities within the Portfolio is generally hedged back to
the U.S. dollar. The investment strategy uses a variable maturity approach and
shifts maturities and country allocations based on changes in the eligible
yield curves. The strategy uses current yields and identifies favorable
maturity ranges of expected returns based on potential buy and sell strategies
for each eligible country. Maturity targets and country allocations are shifted
based on Dimensional's expectations for term premiums. The weighted average
maturity of the Portfolio decreased to 2.10 years as of October 31, 2019, from
3.86 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 5.00% for the
Portfolio and 5.19% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index, 1-5 Years,
Currency-Hedged in USD terms, the Portfolio's benchmark. During the period,
yield curves in global developed markets generally flattened, indicating
smaller expected term premiums. As a result, the Portfolio's weighted average
maturity was decreased. Realized term premiums, however, were generally
positive in global developed markets for the period. The Portfolio's
underweight to U.S. dollar-denominated securities in the four- to five-year
maturity range detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.
Additionally, the Portfolio's lack of exposure to certain lower-quality
government securities in countries such as Italy, which are included in the
benchmark, also detracted from relative performance. Conversely, the
Portfolio's underweight to Japanese yen-denominated securities and overweight
to Canadian dollar-denominated securities contributed positively to performance
relative to the benchmark.
VIT INFLATION-PROTECTED SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The VIT Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio is designed to provide
inflation protection and current income by investing generally in
inflation-protected securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies
and instrumentalities with maturities of between five and 20 years. The
weighted average duration of the Portfolio increased to 7.74 years as of
October 31, 2019, from 7.62 years as of October 31, 2018.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 9.18% for the
Portfolio and 8.96% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, the Portfolio's
benchmark. Real interest rates generally decreased during the period and
realized real term premiums were positive. The Portfolio's emphasis on the
intermediate segment of the real yield curve contributed positively to
performance relative to the benchmark, as the intermediate segment outperformed
the combination of the long and short ends of the real yield curve.
VA GLOBAL MODERATE ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
The VA Global Moderate Allocation Portfolio seeks long-term capital
appreciation and current income by investing in a combination of other mutual
funds managed by Dimensional that invest in domestic and international equity
securities, including emerging markets securities, and fixed income securities.
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through a moderate
allocation to both global equity and global fixed income securities. As of the
date of this report, the Portfolio's investments in domestic equity funds
included the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, the U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, VA
U.S. Large Value Portfolio, and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio; the
Portfolio's investments in international equity funds included the
International Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio,
and VA International Value Portfolio (collectively, the "Equity Underlying
Funds"); and the Portfolio's investments in fixed income funds included the DFA
Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA Selectively Hedged Global Fixed
Income Portfolio, VA Global Bond Portfolio, and VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio
12
("Fixed Income Underlying Funds," and, collectively with the Equity Underlying
Funds, the "Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy
is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019,
the Equity Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 13,200 securities
in 44 eligible developed and emerging markets and the Fixed Income Underlying
Funds collectively held approximately 700 fixed income securities in 21
countries, excluding supranationals.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 8.07% for the
Portfolio and 9.83% for the Portfolio's composite benchmark, a hypothetical
composite index composed of 65% MSCI All Country World Index (net dividends),
the Portfolio's equity benchmark, and 35% FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3
Years (hedged to USD), the Portfolio's fixed income benchmark. As a result of
the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified investment approach,
performance was determined principally by broad trends in global equity and
fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited group of
securities. The Portfolio's equity component underperformed the equity
component of the composite benchmark and detracted from the Portfolio's
performance relative to the composite benchmark. The Portfolio's fixed income
component outperformed the fixed income component of the composite benchmark
and contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance relative to the
composite benchmark.
With small-caps underperforming large-caps globally for the period, the
Equity Underlying Funds' inclusion of and emphasis on small-cap stocks
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark (which is composed
primarily of large- and mid-cap stocks). The Equity Underlying Funds' greater
emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks also had a negative impact on
relative performance, as value stocks underperformed high relative price
(growth) stocks globally.
During the period ended October 31, 2019, interest rates generally decreased
and realized term premiums were generally positive. Credit spreads were little
changed during the period and realized credit premiums were also generally
positive. The Fixed Income Underlying Funds' exposure to longer-term and credit
securities contributed positively to performance relative to the fixed income
benchmark.
VA EQUITY ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
The VA Equity Allocation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional that invest
in domestic and international equity securities, including emerging markets
securities. As of the date of this report, the Portfolio's investments in the
domestic equity funds included the U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, the U.S. Large
Company Portfolio, the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio, the VA U.S. Targeted
Value Portfolio, and the DFA Real Estate Securities Portfolio; and the
Portfolio's investments in the international equity funds included the
International Core Equity Portfolio, the VA International Small Portfolio, the
VA International Value Portfolio, and the Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio (collectively, the "Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification. As of October 31, 2019, the
Underlying Funds collectively held approximately 13,300 securities in 44
eligible developed and emerging markets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 9.60% for the
Portfolio and 12.69% for the MSCI 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 by the behavior of a limited group of stocks. With
small-caps underperforming large-caps globally for the period, the Underlying
Funds' inclusion of and emphasis on small-cap stocks detracted from performance
relative to the benchmark (which is composed primarily of large- and mid-cap
stocks). The Underlying Funds' greater emphasis on low relative price (value)
stocks also had a negative impact on relative performance, as value stocks
underperformed high relative price (growth) stocks globally.

(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 and 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" reflects 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 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, the
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 use 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,
and 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 VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio and VA U.S. Large Value
Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") and by VA International Value
Portfolio and VA International Small 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 ask 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.
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 at which 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 pricing of 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 calculated closing prices of the foreign investments 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
62
pricing by the International Equity Portfolios uses data furnished by an
independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information,
the market values of foreign investments). When the International Equity
Portfolios use 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.
Debt securities held by the VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio, VA Global Bond
Portfolio and VIT Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio (the "Fixed Income
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
securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Futures contracts held by the Portfolios 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.
Shares held by the DFA VA Global Moderate Allocation Portfolio and the VA
Equity Allocation Portfolio of the Underlying Funds, which are treated as
regulated investment companies, and the shares held by the Portfolios in other
investment companies, are valued at their respective daily net asset values as
reported by their administrator. These securities 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. Valuation hierarchy tables have been included at the
end of the Portfolios' Summary Schedules of Portfolio Holdings/Schedules of
Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
2. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Securities and other assets and liabilities
of the International Equity Portfolios and VA Global Bond Portfolio whose
values are initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated to U.S.
dollars using the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices for the U.S.
dollar as quoted by generally recognized reliable sources. To facilitate the
translation, the Portfolios enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign
currency contract is a spot agreement between two parties to buy and sell
currencies at current market exchange rates, for settlement generally within
two business days. 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 VA Global Bond
Portfolio also enters 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 foreign
exchange rate fluctuations from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices
of securities, whether realized or unrealized. However, the VA Global Bond
Portfolio does isolate the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations 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 of
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 VA Global Bond Portfolio and the U.S.
dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
63
3. TREASURY INFLATION-PROTECTED SECURITIES (TIPS): Inflation-protected
securities (also known as inflation indexed securities) are securities whose
principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike
conventional debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments.
Inflation-protected securities include Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities
("TIPS"), which are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The principal value
of TIPS is adjusted for inflation (payable at maturity) and the semi-annual
interest payments by TIPS equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted
principal amount. These inflation adjustments are based upon the Consumer Price
Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The original principal value of TIPS is
guaranteed, even during period of deflation. At maturity, TIPS are redeemed at
the greater of their inflation-adjusted principal or par amount at original
issue. Other types of inflation-protected securities may use other methods to
adjust for inflation and other measures of inflation. Additionally,
inflation-protected securities issued by entities other than the U.S. Treasury
may not provide a guarantee of principal value at maturity.
4. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, none of the Directors have
requested or received a distribution of proceeds of a deferred fee account.
5. 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 Portfolios estimate the character of
received distributions 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,
using 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.
Organizational costs are expensed during the fiscal year of inception of the
Portfolios. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the
inception of the Portfolios.
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 International Equity 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.
Additionally, 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.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio.................. 0.35%
VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio..................... 0.25%
VA International Value Portfolio.................. 0.40%
VA International Small Portfolio.................. 0.50%
VA Short-Term Fixed Portfolio..................... 0.20%*
VA Global Bond Portfolio.......................... 0.21%**
VIT Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio...... 0.10%
DFA VA Global Moderate Allocation Portfolio....... 0.25%
VA Equity Allocation Portfolio.................... 0.30%
* Effective as of February 28, 2019, the management fee payable by the VA
Short-Term Fixed Portfolio was reduced from 0.25% to 0.18%.
** The VA Global Bond Portfolio's investment management fees are based on an
effective annual rate of 0.25% of the first $100 million of average daily
net assets and 0.20% of average daily net assets exceeding $100 million.
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (a "Fee Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed to
waive certain fees, and in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the
VIT Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio, DFA VA Global Moderate Allocation
Portfolio and VA Equity Allocation Portfolio, as described in the notes below.
The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolios will remain in effect through
February 28, 2020, 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. During the year ended October 31,
2019, the Portfolios had expense limits based on a percentage of average net

and/or assumed expenses (amounts in thousands), as listed below. The net amount
of waived fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses
assumed) during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived
fees/expenses assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of
October 31, 2019, are also reflected below (amounts in thousands). The Fund, on
behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for fees
previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more than
thirty-six months before the date of recovery. With respect to the Fee Waiver
Agreement, prior year waived fees and/or assumed expenses can be recaptured
only if the expense ratio following such recapture would be less than the
expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees were waived and/or
expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in place for a
Portfolio.

(1) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its
management fee and to assume the ordinary operating expenses of a class of the
Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in other investment companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the
extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
the rate listed above as a percentage of the Portfolio's average net assets on
an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the
Portfolio Expenses are less than the Expense Limitation Amount, the Advisor
retains the right to recover any fees previously waived and/or expenses
previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not cause the
Portfolio's annualized Portfolio Expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation
Amount.

(2) Effective February 28, 2019, the Advisor has agreed to waive all or a
portion of its management fee and to assume the expenses of the Institutional
Class shares 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
of the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio, on an annualized basis, to
the rate listed above as a percentage of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets (the "Expense Limitation Amount"). Prior to February 28, 2019, the
Expense Limitation Amount was 0.40% of the average net assets of such class of
the Portfolio on an annualized basis. At any time that the Portfolio Expenses
of the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will
not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses of such class of shares to exceed
the Expense Limitation Amount.
(3) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up to the full amount of
the Portfolio's management fee of 0.30% to the extent necessary to offset the
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in other funds managed by the Advisor, except for the fees paid
through its investment of securities lending cash collateral in the Money
Market Series. In addition, under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor has
also agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fee and to assume the
ordinary operating expenses of a class of the Portfolio (including the expenses
that the Portfolio bears as a shareholder of other funds managed by the
Advisor, excluding money market funds, but excluding the expenses that the
Portfolio incurs indirectly through its investment in unaffiliated investment
companies) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the
Portfolio Expenses of 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's annualized Portfolio Expenses are less than the Portfolio's Expense
Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will
not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
exceed the Expense Limitation Amount. The Advisor, however, shall not be
reimbursed for any management fees previously waived to offset the Portfolio's
proportionate share of the management fees paid by the Portfolio through its
investment in other funds managed by the Advisor.
EARNED INCOME CREDIT:
Additionally, the Portfolios have entered into arrangements with their
custodian whereby net interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to
reduce a portion of the Portfolios' 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
Portfolio's net assets. During the year ended October 31, 2019, expenses
reduced were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly,
the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios did not have any net investment
income and short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains distributions
designated for federal income tax purposes due to the use of accumulated

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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had the following

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 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 any of 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.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' investment objectives and policies,
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:
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 Portfolios may be inhibited.
2. INFLATION PROTECTION RISKS: Because the interest and/or principal
payments on an inflation-protected security are adjusted periodically for
changes in inflation, the income distributed by the VIT Inflation-Protected
Securities Portfolio may be irregular. Although the U.S. Treasury guarantees to
pay at least the original face value of any inflation-protected securities the
Treasury issues, other issuers may not offer the same guarantee. Also,
inflation-protected securities, including those issued by the U.S. Treasury,
are not protected against deflation. As a result, in a period of deflation, the
principal and income of inflation-protected securities held by the Portfolio
will decline and the Portfolio may suffer a loss during such periods. While
inflation-protected securities are expected to be protected from long-term
inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in
the Portfolio's value. For example, if interest rates rise due to reasons other
than inflation, the Portfolio's investment in these securities may not be
protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the securities'
inflation measures. Additionally, positive adjustments to principal generally
will result in taxable income to the Portfolio at the
71
time of such adjustments (which generally would be distributed by the Portfolio
as part of its taxable dividends), even though the principal amount is not paid
until maturity. The current market value of inflation-protected securities is
not guaranteed and will fluctuate.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
3. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The VA Global Bond 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) or to transfer balances from one currency to another currency. 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 of forward currency contracts. 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 forward currency
contracts. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and
from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the
U.S. dollar.
4. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios listed below may purchase or sell
futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign or U.S. equity
securities and indices, to adjust market exposure based on actual or expected
cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. The Portfolios, however, do not
intend to sell futures contracts to establish short positions in individual
securities or to use derivatives for purposes of speculation or leveraging
investment returns.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio deposits cash or pledges
U.S. Government securities to a broker in an amount 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
Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When
the contracts are closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss, which
is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on
futures, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time
it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks may arise upon entrance 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. A Portfolio entering into stock index futures
is 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
73
is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs
over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and forward currency 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
Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table presents the VA Global Bond Portfolio's gross and net
amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting
arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
74
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available line
of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Directors/Trustees and/or common Officers. At its regularly
scheduled meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions
entered into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
75
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

VA International Small Portfolio................ 3,894 4,486 502
J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which such Portfolios received cash collateral.
Additionally, the following Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting
of short-and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities
as follows (amounts in thousands):
NON-CASH

----------
VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio................ $14,175
VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio................... 1,993
VA International Value Portfolio................ 416
VA International Small Portfolio................ 7,568
Each Portfolio with securities on loan 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, cash collateral being maintained by
the borrower is insufficient to cover the value of loaned securities, and 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 their stated investment policies, each Portfolio with securities
on loan 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted
with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with
other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Portfolios 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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income
rates.

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
77
M. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

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 VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio has been named as a defendant in a
multi-district litigation pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Court"), captioned IN RE TRIBUNE COMPANY
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE LITIGATION, No. 11-MD-2296-RJS (the "Tribune MDL"). The
Tribune MDL arises from the 2007 leveraged buyout of The Tribune Company
("Tribune") (the "LBO") and Tribune's subsequent bankruptcy and reorganization.
In connection with the LBO, thousands of Tribune shareholders, including the VA
U.S. Large Value Portfolio, 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 (the "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 lacked standing to pursue their claims. The parties appealed the
Court's dismissal order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit (the "Second Circuit") and on March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit
affirmed the dismissal, albeit on the grounds that the individual creditor
plaintiffs' claims were preempted by the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for
securities transactions. The individual creditor plaintiffs filed a petition
for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the "Supreme
Court"), seeking review of the Second Circuit's ruling. Thereafter, the
individual creditor plaintiffs moved the Second Circuit to review its prior
ruling in light of the Supreme Court's decision in MERIT MANAGEMENT GROUP, LP
v. FTI CONSULTING, INC., 138 S.Ct. 883 (2018) ("Merit Mgmt."), which addressed
the scope of the Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions. The
Second Circuit agreed to review the matter and withdrew its mandate with
respect to the affirmance of the dismissal order. Consequently, the Supreme
Court dismissed the individual creditor plaintiffs' petition for certiorari.
The Second Circuit's review is pending.
On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the shareholder defendants' motion to
dismiss the claims against them in the Committee Action. The Trustee moved for
leave from the Court to file an amended complaint to assert new constructive
fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants in light of the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Court denied the motion, ruling that the proposed
amendment would unduly prejudice the shareholder defendants and would be futile
because the Trustee's proposed constructive fraudulent transfer claims would be
barred by the
78
Bankruptcy Code's safe harbor for securities transactions, notwithstanding the
Merit Mgmt. decision. The Trustee appealed the Court's dismissal order and
order denying the Trustee's motion for leave to amend to the Second Circuit.
The Second Circuit appeal is pending.
Litigation counsel to the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio in the Lawsuits has
advised management that it does not believe that it is possible to predict with
any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or quantify the
ultimate exposure to the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio arising from the
Lawsuits. Until the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio can do so, no reduction of
the net asset value of the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio 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 VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio at this time.
The VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio 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 VA
U.S. Large Value Portfolio will pay or receive, as the case may be, a price
based on the net asset value of the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio, with no
adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys' fees and costs relating to
the Lawsuits will be borne by the VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio as incurred and
in a manner similar to any other expenses incurred by the VA U.S. Large Value
Portfolio.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings/schedules of investments,
of VA U.S. Targeted Value Portfolio, VA U.S. Large Value Portfolio, VA
International Value Portfolio, VA International Small Portfolio, VA Short-Term
Fixed Portfolio, VA Global Bond Portfolio, VIT Inflation-Protected Securities
Portfolio, DFA VA Global Moderate Allocation Portfolio and VA Equity Allocation
Portfolio (nine of the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group
Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the
related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to
as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
Portfolios as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agents of the
investee funds; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and

full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.

Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you

your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may

from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at (888)

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
U.S. LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of U.S.
large-cap growth stocks with higher profitability. The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification with increased exposure to
stocks with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative price (value), and
higher profitability within the U.S. large-cap growth universe. As of October
31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 200 securities. Average cash
exposure throughout the year was less than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 16.87% for the
Portfolio and 17.10% for the Russell 1000(R) Growth 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 by the behavior of a limited number of stocks. At the sector
level, the Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs)
detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as REITs generally
outperformed in the U.S. Conversely, the Portfolio's emphasis on stocks with
higher profitability contributed positively to relative performance, as
higher-profitability stocks generally outperformed lower-profitability stocks.
U.S. SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified group
of U.S. small-cap growth stocks with higher profitability. Growth is measured
primarily by book-to-market ratio. In assessing profitability, Dimensional 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, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 550
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, 2019, total returns were 1.43% for the
Portfolio and 4.13% for the Russell 2000(R) Growth 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
greater emphasis on higher-profitability stocks within the small-cap growth
universe detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as these stocks
underperformed.
INTERNATIONAL LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The International Large Cap Growth Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S.
large cap growth stocks. The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification, with increased exposure to stocks with smaller market
capitalization, lower relative price (value), and higher-profitability within
the large-cap growth segment of developed ex U.S. markets. As of October 31,
2019, the Portfolio held approximately 550 securities in 22 eligible developed
markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less than 1 % of the
Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 15.01% for the
Portfolio and 16.25% for the MSCI World ex USA Growth 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 stocks with smaller relative
market capitalizations and consequent lesser allocation to stocks with larger
market capitalizations had a negative impact on performance relative to the
benchmark, as these stocks underperformed their larger counterparts.

INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
The International Small Cap Growth Portfolio invests in developed ex U.S.
small-cap growth stocks, with an emphasis on those with higher profitability.
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio held approximately 1,400 securities in 22
eligible developed markets. Average cash exposure throughout the year was less
than 1% of the Portfolio's assets.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, total returns were 7.64% for the
Portfolio and 10.29% for the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Growth 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 greater allocations to small- and
micro-caps detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as stocks with
smaller market capitalizations underperformed. With higher-profitability growth
stocks generally underperforming lower-profitability growth stocks, the
Portfolio's greater emphasis on higher-profitability stocks detracted from
relative performance. The Portfolio's exclusion of real estate investment
trusts (REITs) had a negative impact on performance relative to the benchmark,
as REITs generally outperformed in developed ex U.S. markets.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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" reflects
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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are generally offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and
clients of registered investment advisors. The Fund offers one hundred and
three operational portfolios, four of which, U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio,
U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio, International Large Cap Growth Portfolio and
International Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), are included in
this report. The remaining ninety-nine portfolios are presented in separate
reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and accordingly, follow the
accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946,
"Financial Services-Investment Companies."
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, the
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 use 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,
and 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 U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio and U.S. Small Cap Growth
Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolios") and International Large Cap Growth
Portfolio and International Small Cap Growth 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 ask 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.
30
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 at which 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 pricing of the International Equity
Portfolios' 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 calculated
closing prices of the foreign investments 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 use 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios' 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 methodology or inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
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 ask prices for the U.S. dollar as quoted by generally
recognized reliable sources. To facilitate this translation, the Portfolios
enter into foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is a spot
agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at current market
exchange rates, for settlement generally within two business days. 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 foreign
exchange rate fluctuations 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 of
securities transactions, and the difference between amounts of interest,
dividends and any foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the
International Equity Portfolios and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually
received or paid.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the 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
31
International Value Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, Emerging
Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year
Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions made under the Plan and the change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and income are included in
Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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 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 Portfolios estimate 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 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.
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 International
Equity 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. Additionally, 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios' investment management
fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following
effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio.......................................... 0.17%
U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio.......................................... 0.35%
International Large Cap Growth Portfolio................................. 0.25%
International Small Cap Growth Portfolio................................. 0.50%
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and/or Expense Assumption
Agreement (the "Fee Waiver Agreement") for the Portfolios, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and assume
the ordinary operating expenses of a class of each Portfolio (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 other investment companies)
("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses
of a class of each Portfolio, on an annualized basis, to the rates listed below
as a percentage of a class of the respective Portfolio's average net assets
(the "Expense Limitation Amount"). At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of a
class of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount for such class
of shares of the Portfolio, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees
previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such
recovery will not cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for such class
32
of shares of the Portfolio to exceed the applicable Expense Limitation Amount
identified below. The Fee Waiver Agreement for the Portfolios will remain in
effect through February 28, 2020, and may only be terminated by the Fund's
Board of Directors prior to that date. The Fee Waiver Agreement shall continue
in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund or the
Advisor.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 assumed expenses (amounts in
thousands), as listed below. The net amount of waived fees/expenses assumed
(recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed) during the year ended
October 31, 2019 and the previously waived fees/expenses assumed subject to
future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019 are also reflected below
(amounts in thousands). The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated
to reimburse the Advisor for fees previously waived or expenses previously
assumed by the Advisor more than thirty-six months before the date of recovery.
With respect to the Fee Waiver Agreement, prior year waived fees and/or assumed
expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following such recapture
would be less than the expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees
were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in
place for a Portfolio.

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the permanent differences as of October 31, 2019, 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 accounts
mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets or net
asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term

International Small Cap Growth Portfolio.. 339 975 -- 19,497 20,811
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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios had the following
capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains
with no expiration date (amounts in thousands):

During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios did not use capital
loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax
purposes.
As of October 31, 2019, 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

International Small Cap
Growth Portfolio....... 195,141 33,967 (14,471) 19,496
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is
attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on
regulated futures contracts, net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency
contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment
company investments.
ASC 740 ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES sets forth a minimum
threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each
Portfolio's tax positions and has concluded that no additional provision for
income tax is required in any Portfolio's financial statements. 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 periods remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with the Portfolios' 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:
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 International Equity Portfolios may be inhibited.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative instruments used by
the Portfolios.
2. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios listed below 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 equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of
the exchange on which the contract is traded to a broker. 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 entrance into futures contracts from potential
imperfect price correlations between the futures contracts and the underlying
securities, from the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these
instruments and from the possibility that the Portfolios could lose more than
the initial margin requirements. Entering into stock index futures subjects the
Portfolios to equity price risk from those futures contracts. Counterparty
credit risk related to exchange-traded futures is minimal because the
exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures,
guarantees the futures against default.

The average volume (based on the open positions at each fiscal month-end) of
derivative activity for the year ended October 31, 2019 was as follows (amount

H. 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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
38
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the Portfolios 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, 2019, that each Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 days' notice.
The Portfolios did not use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
I. AFFILIATED TRADES:
Cross trades for the year ended October 31, 2019, 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 a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment
advisors), common Directors and/or common Officers. At its regularly scheduled
meetings, the CCO certifies to the Board that the 17a-7 transactions entered
into by the Portfolios complied with the Rule 17a-7 Procedures adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Fund.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, cross trades by the Portfolios under
Rule 17a-7 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

J. SECURITIES LENDING:
As of October 31, 2019, some of the Portfolios had securities on loan to
brokers/dealers, for which each such Portfolio received cash collateral.
Additionally, the Portfolios received non-cash collateral consisting of short-
and/or long-term U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency securities as
follows (amounts in thousands):
NON-CASH
COLLATERAL
MARKET
VALUE
----------
U.S. Large Cap Growth Portfolio..................................... $51,484
U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio..................................... 35,770
International Large Cap Growth Portfolio............................ 2,739
International Small Cap Growth Portfolio............................ 7,708
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
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, cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient to
cover the value of loaned securities, and 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, a Portfolio with securities on
loan 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. Income received from the Money Market Series is netted
with fees for securities lending and collateral investment expenses and with
other payments to and from borrowers of securities. 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 or
unaffiliated money market funds that are registered or unregistered. For
purposes of this paragraph, agencies include both agency debentures and agency
mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, a 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 for taxation at qualified dividend income rates.

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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
M. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, or 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.
N. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which the financial statements were issued and
has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the summary schedules of portfolio holdings, of U.S. Large Cap Growth
Portfolio, U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio, International Large Cap Growth
Portfolio and International Small Cap Growth Portfolio (four of the portfolios
constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter collectively
referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the related statements
of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five
years in the period ended October 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
Portfolios as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2019 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodians, brokers and the transfer agent of the
investee fund; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds include
additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of
the SAI and prospectus of each Fund advised by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP by

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
DIMENSIONAL RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional Retirement Income Fund seeks capital appreciation and income
by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed by Dimensional that
invest in equity and fixed income securities. During the period covered by this
report, the Fund's investments in equity funds included the U.S. Large Company
Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, Large Cap International Portfolio,
International Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
(collectively, the "Equity Underlying Funds") and the Portfolio's investments
in fixed income funds included the DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio and the
DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio (collectively, the "Fixed Income
Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing
broad diversification.
5
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 7.72% for the
Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the Fund's
equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index, 1-3
Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As a
result of the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in global
equity and fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited group
of securities.
The Equity Underlying Funds are intended to constitute the Fund's growth
assets and invest in stocks across all eligible countries, with a greater
allocation than the equity benchmark to the U.S. and lesser allocations to
developed ex U.S. and emerging markets countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's Equity Underlying Funds
collectively underperformed the equity benchmark. The Equity Underlying Funds'
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks globally. At the sector level, the Equity
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
The Fund's holdings of the Fixed Income Underlying Funds outperformed the
fixed income benchmark for the period. The Fixed Income Underlying funds had an
average duration of approximately 4.7 years over the 12 months ended
October 31, 2019, compared to an average duration of approximately 1.9 years
for the fixed income benchmark. The Fixed Income Underlying Funds' longer
duration relative to the fixed income benchmark was the primary driver of
outperformance during a period in which realized term premiums were positive.

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"
reflects the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who
started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, a
$7,500 account value divided by $1,000 = 7.5), then multiply the result
by the number given for your fund under the heading "Expenses Paid
During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
This section is intended to help you compare your fund's costs with
those of other mutual funds. The hypothetical "Ending Account Value" and
"Expenses Paid During Period" are derived from the fund's actual expense
ratio and an assumed 5% annual return before expenses. In this case,
because the return used is not the fund's actual return, the results do
not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making
comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate
expenses based on a 5% annual return. You can assess your fund's costs
by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples
that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table is 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund" or "IDG") 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 one
hundred and three operational portfolios, one of which, the Dimensional
Retirement Income Fund (the "Portfolio"), is included in this 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"), Topic 946, "Financial
Services-Investment Companies."
The Portfolio achieves its investment objective by investing substantially
all of its assets in other series of the Fund and Dimensional Investment Group
Inc. ("DIG") (collectively, the "Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds'
shareholder reports are not covered by this report. A copy of the Underlying
Funds' shareholder reports is available from the EDGAR database on the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio was the
------------------
owner of record of the following approximate percentages of the total
outstanding shares of the following Underlying Funds as detailed below:
PERCENTAGE
OWNERSHIP
FUND OF FUNDS UNDERLYING FUNDS AT 10/31/2019

Large Cap International Portfolio (IDG) --
International Core Equity Portfolio (IDG) --
DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio (IDG) --
DFA One-Year Fixed Income Portfolio (IDG) --
Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio (IDG) --
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, the
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 uses 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, though not limited to, equity securities and
futures contracts. Underlying Fund shares are valued at their respective
daily net asset values as reported by their administrator, as the
Underlying Funds are treated as regulated investment companies and are
also included as Level 1 investments.
. 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)
14
A valuation hierarchy is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments.
The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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/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 investments 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 Portfolio
estimates the character of received distributions 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, using the effective interest method. Expenses
directly attributable to the Portfolio are directly charged. Common expenses of
the Fund or the Portfolio are allocated using methods approved by the Board,
generally based on average net assets.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolio.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolio's investment management
fee was accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following
effective annual rate of average daily net assets:
Dimensional Retirement Income Fund*..................................... 0.01%
* Effective as of February 28, 2019, the management fee payable by the
Portfolio was reduced from 0.03% to 0.00%.
Effective February 28, 2019, pursuant to an Expense Assumption Agreement
(the "Expense Assumption Agreement") for the Portfolio, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to assume the ordinary operating expenses of the
Institutional Class of the Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through its investment in other investment companies managed
by the Advisor) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to 0.06% of the average net
assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the
"Expense Limitation Amount"). The Expense Assumption Agreement for the
Portfolio will remain in effect through February 28, 2020, and may only be
terminated by the Fund's Board of Directors prior to that date. The Expense
Assumption Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter
unless terminated by the Fund or the Advisor. At any time that the Portfolio
Expenses of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio are less than the Expense
Limitation Amount, the Advisor retains the right to recover any fees previously
waived
15
and/or expenses previously assumed to the extent that such recovery will not
cause the annualized Portfolio Expenses for Institutional Class shares of the
Portfolio to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount. The net amount of waived
fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed)
during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses
assumed subject to recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are
reflected below (amounts in thousands). Prior to February 28, 2019, pursuant to
a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for the Portfolio, the Advisor
had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and to
assume the ordinary operating expenses of the Institutional Class of the
Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in other investment companies managed by the Advisor) to the
extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
the expense limitation amount listed below as a percentage of the average net
assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. The
Fund, on behalf of 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. With respect to the
Expense Assumption Agreement, prior year fees waived and/or assumed expenses
can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following such recapture would be
less than the expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees were
waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in place
for the Portfolio.

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, 2019, the total related amount paid by the Fund
to the CCO was $312 (in thousands). The total related amount paid by the
Portfolio is included in Other Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

======= ====== ====== ==== ====== ======= ===== ==== ===
F. 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 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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings, 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, 2019,
primarily attributable to realized gains on securities considered to be
"passive foreign investment companies," 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 accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no effect on net
assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET INVESTMENT LONG-

As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term
capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal
income tax purposes due to the utilization of accumulated earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares.

As of October 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings

SHORT-TERM LONG-TERM APPRECIATION (ACCUMULATED
CAPITAL GAINS CAPITAL GAINS (DEPRECIATION) LOSSES)
-------------- ------------- -------------- -------------
Dimensional Retirement Income Fund................ -- $22 $944 $966
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 this 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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolio did not have any capital
loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
Dimensional Retirement Income Fund................ $18,718 $944 -- $944
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
ASC 740 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.
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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
18
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the Portfolio under the
lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except percentages and
days):
MAXIMUM
WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AMOUNT OUTSTANDING
AVERAGE AVERAGE NUMBER OF INTEREST BORROWED BORROWINGS
INTEREST LOAN DAYS EXPENSE DURING AS OF
RATE BALANCE OUTSTANDING* INCURRED THE PERIOD 10/31/2019
-------- -------- ------------ -------- ---------- -----------
Dimensional Retirement Income Fund...... 3.01% $136 35 -- $206 --
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive
days during the year ended October 31, 2019, that the Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
H. 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.
I. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements

J. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, the following number of shareholders held the
following approximate percentages of the Portfolio's outstanding shares. One or
more of the shareholders may be omnibus accounts, which typically hold shares
for the benefit of several other underlying investors.
APPROXIMATE
PERCENTAGE
NUMBER OF OF OUTSTANDING
SHAREHOLDERS SHARES
------------ --------------
Dimensional Retirement Income Fund................ 5 84%
The Portfolio is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in
the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
The Board of Directors of the Fund, on behalf of the Dimensional 2005 Target
Date Retirement Income Fund (the "2005 Target Date Fund"), approved a Plan of
Reorganization, under which the 2005 Target Date Fund, another portfolio of the
Fund, will be reorganized (the "Reorganization") with and into the Portfolio.
The 2005 Target Date Fund and the Portfolio have identical investment
objectives and fundamental investment restrictions. The Portfolios are part of
Dimensional's suite of target date retirement income funds that seek to achieve
an asset allocation consistent with the fund's position on the evolving asset
allocation "glide path" disclosed in its prospectus. Based on the design of the
glide path, each such fund generally becomes more conservative (e.g., by
reducing its allocation to equity underlying funds and increasing its
allocation to fixed income underlying funds) until reaching a final static
asset allocation or "landing point" fifteen years after its target date, at
which time the fund will have approximately the same asset allocation as the
Portfolio. Accordingly, as disclosed in the 2005 Target Date Fund's prospectus,
the 2005 Target Date Fund will have approximately the same asset allocation as
the Portfolio as of 2020, which is fifteen years past the 2005 Target Date
Fund's targeted retirement date. Shareholder approval of the Reorganization is
not required and will not be solicited. It is currently expected that the
Reorganization will be completed on or about February 10, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and
Shareholders of Dimensional Retirement Income Fund
OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Dimensional Retirement Income Fund (one of the
portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter
referred to as the "Portfolio") as of October 31, 2019, the related statement
of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statement of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial
statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31,
2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019 and
the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
BASIS FOR OPINION
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio's
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian and the transfer agent of the investee funds.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dimensional Fund Advisors L.P. investment company group since 1981.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds include
additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of

FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at (888)

You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper

or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND 2020-2060
REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
The Dimensional Target Date Retirement Income Portfolios listed below are
designed for investors planning to retire in or within a few years of the
target date associated with each Portfolio and are planning to withdraw the
value of their investment in a Portfolio over many years after the target date:
Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2035 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
9
Dimensional 2045 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2050 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Each Portfolio allocates investments to equity and fixed income mutual funds
managed by Dimensional (the "Underlying Funds"). Over time, each Portfolio's
allocation to the Underlying Funds is expected to change based on an asset
allocation strategy that generally becomes more conservative (reducing its
allocation to equity Underlying Funds and increasing its allocation to fixed
income Underlying Funds).
In particular, the asset allocation strategy for each Portfolio reduces
equity risk and seeks to lower the volatility of the inflation-adjusted income
the Portfolio may be able to support in retirement as the target date
associated with that Portfolio approaches. This means that Portfolios that are
still far from their target date will generally focus on asset growth through a
higher allocation to the equity and fixed income Underlying Funds earmarked as
growth assets. Over time, the percentage of growth assets allocated to equity
Underlying Funds is generally expected to decrease relative to the percentage
allocated to fixed income Underlying Funds.
In addition, over time, the Portfolios will also gradually decrease their
focus on asset growth and increase their focus on hedging against changes to
the cost of funding in-retirement consumption. Beginning approximately 20 years
prior to a Portfolio's target date, an increasing portion of the Portfolio will
be allocated to fixed income Underlying Funds that are intended to hedge
against changes to the cost of funding in-retirement consumption, rather than
focus on asset growth. Therefore, in evaluating the performance of this portion
of the Portfolio, we believe investors should focus on changes to their cost of
funding in-retirement consumption rather than on asset growth. During periods
in which real interest rates decrease, the present-day cost of funding an
investor's future in-retirement consumption generally increases. As a result,
the portion of the Portfolio allocated to the fixed income Underlying Funds,
which is intended to hedge against changes to cost of funding in-retirement
consumption, should be evaluated alongside changes in the cost of funding
in-retirement consumption.
For the one-year period ending October 31, 2019, in aggregate, the equity
and fixed income Underlying Funds used for growth assets had positive returns
and contributed to the Portfolios' growth assets. For Portfolios that had a
portion of assets allocated to fixed income Underlying Funds for hedging
changes to the costs of in-retirement consumption (e.g., Portfolios with target
dates of 2035 and earlier), these Underlying Funds generally had positive
returns, as interest rates generally decreased; however, as previously
discussed, the cost of funding investors' consumption in retirement increased
due to the decrease in interest rates.
DIMENSIONAL 2020 TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund seeks capital
appreciation and income by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed
by Dimensional that invest in equity and fixed income securities. During the
period covered by this report, the Fund's investments in equity funds included
the U.S Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, Large Cap
International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging
Markets Core Equity Portfolio (collectively, the "Equity Underlying Funds") and
the Portfolio's investments in fixed income funds included the DFA Short-Term
Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA
Inflation- Protected Securities Portfolio and the DFA LTIP Portfolio
(collectively, the "Fixed Income Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 12.94% for
the Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the
Fund's equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index,
1-3 Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As
a result of the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
global equity and fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
group of securities.
The Equity Underlying Funds are intended to constitute part of the Fund's
growth assets and invest in stocks across all eligible countries, with a
greater allocation than the equity benchmark to the U.S. and lesser allocations
to developed ex U.S. and emerging markets countries.
10
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's Equity Underlying Funds
collectively underperformed the equity benchmark. The Equity Underlying Funds'
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks globally. At the sector level, the Equity
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
The Fund's holdings of the DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio and the
DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio are also intended to be part of the
Fund's growth assets and seek to capture term and credit premiums within global
investment grade bonds. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, these
holdings outperformed the fixed income benchmark. The Fixed Income Underlying
Funds' inclusion of corporate bonds was the primary driver of outperformance
relative to the fixed income benchmark (which holds only bonds government
bonds) during a period in which realized credit premiums were positive.
The Fund's holdings of the DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio and
the DFA LTIP Portfolio are intended to hedge against changes to the cost of
funding in-retirement consumption by targeting the duration of investors'
retirement consumption liabilities. These holdings had an average duration of
approximately 12.7 years over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, compared to
an average duration of approximately 1.9 years for the fixed income benchmark.
These holdings outperformed the fixed income benchmark for the period. The
Fixed Income Underlying Funds' longer duration relative to the fixed income
benchmark was the primary driver of outperformance during a period in which
realized term premiums were positive.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 12.94% for
the Fund and 13.89% for the S&P STRIDE Glide Path 2020 Index, a target date
benchmark.
DIMENSIONAL 2025 TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund seeks capital
appreciation and income by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed
by Dimensional that invest in equity and fixed income securities. During the

the Portfolio's investments in fixed income funds included the DFA Short-Term
Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA
Inflation- Protected Securities Portfolio, and the DFA LTIP Portfolio
(collectively, the "Fixed Income Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 14.33% for
the Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the
Fund's equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index,
1-3 Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As

the Fund and 15.89% for the S&P STRIDE Glide Path 2025 Index, a target date
benchmark.
DIMENSIONAL 2030 TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund seeks capital
appreciation and income by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed
by Dimensional that invest in equity and fixed income securities. During the
period covered by this report, the Fund's investments in equity funds included
the U.S Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, Large Cap
International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging
Markets Core Equity Portfolio (collectively, the "Equity Underlying Funds") and
the Portfolio's investments in fixed income funds included the DFA Short-Term
Extended Quality Portfolio, DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio, DFA
Inflation- Protected Securities Portfolio, and the DFA LTIP Portfolio
(collectively, the "Fixed Income Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 14.20% for
the Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the
Fund's equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index,
1-3 Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As
a result of the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
global equity and fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited
group of securities.
The Equity Underlying Funds are intended to constitute part of the Fund's
growth assets and invest in stocks across all eligible countries, with a
greater allocation than the equity benchmark to the U.S. and lesser allocations
to developed ex U.S. and emerging markets countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's Equity Underlying Funds
collectively underperformed the equity benchmark. The Equity Underlying Funds'
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks globally. At the sector level, the Equity
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
The Fund's holdings of the DFA Short-Term Extended Quality Portfolio and the
DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio are also intended to be part of the
Fund's growth assets and seek to capture term and credit premiums within global
investment grade bonds. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, these
holdings outperformed the fixed income benchmark. The Fixed Income Underlying
Funds' inclusion of corporate bonds was the primary driver of outperformance
relative to the fixed income benchmark (which holds only government bonds)
during a period in which realized credit premiums were positive.
The Fund's holdings of the DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio and
the DFA LTIP Portfolio are intended to hedge against changes to the cost of
funding in-retirement consumption by targeting the duration of investors'
retirement consumption liabilities. These holdings had an average duration of
approximately 22.7 years over the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, compared to
an average duration of approximately 1.9 years for the fixed income benchmark.
These holdings outperformed the fixed income benchmark for the period. The
Fixed Income Underlying Funds' longer duration relative to the fixed income
benchmark was the primary driver of outperformance during a period in which
realized term premiums were positive.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 14.20% for
the Fund and 16.23% for the S&P STRIDE Glide Path 2030 Index, a target date
benchmark.

DFA INVESTMENT DIMENSIONS GROUP INC.
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
(UNAUDITED)
The following Expense Tables are shown so that you can understand the impact
of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a
shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for
portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports, among
others. Operating expenses and 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"
reflects 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ORGANIZATION:
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. (the "Fund" or "IDG") 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 one
hundred and three operational portfolios, of which nine portfolios (the
"Portfolios") are included in this report. The remaining operational portfolios
are presented in separate reports. The Portfolios are investment companies, and
accordingly, follow the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Certification ("ASC"),
Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies."
The Portfolios achieve their investment objectives by investing
substantially all of their assets in other series of IDG and Dimensional
Investment Group Inc. ("DIG") (collectively, the "Underlying Funds"). The
Underlying Funds' shareholder reports are not covered by this report. A copy of
the Underlying Funds' shareholder reports is available from the EDGAR database
on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. As of October 31, 2019, the

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, the
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 use 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, though not limited to, equity securities and
futures contracts. Underlying Fund shares are valued at their respective
daily net asset values as reported by their administrator, as the
Underlying Funds are treated as regulated investment companies and are
also included as Level 1 investments.
. 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)
43
A valuation hierarchy is included at the end of the Schedules of
Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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/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 investments 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 received distributions 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, using 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to the Portfolios.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Portfolios' investment management
fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based on the following
effective annual rates of average daily net assets:
Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2035 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2045 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2050 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund*............. 0.01%
* Effective as of February 28, 2019, the management fee payable by each
Portfolio was reduced from 0.03% to 0.00%.
Effective February 28, 2019, pursuant to an Expense Assumption Agreement
(the "Expense Assumption Agreement") for each Portfolio, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to assume the ordinary operating expenses of the
Institutional Class of a Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through its investment in other investment companies managed
by the Advisor) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the
44
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the expense limitation amount
listed below as a percentage of the average net assets of the Institutional
Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). The Expense Assumption Agreement for each Portfolio will remain in
effect through February 28, 2020, and may only be terminated by the Fund's
Board of Directors prior to that date. The Expense Assumption Agreement shall
continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund
or the Advisor. At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Institutional
Class of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount, 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 Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio
to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount listed below. The net amount of waived
fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed)
during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses
assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are
reflected below (amounts in thousands). Prior to February 28, 2019, pursuant to
a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for each Portfolio, the Advisor
had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and to
assume the ordinary operating expenses of the Institutional Class of a
Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in other investment companies managed by the Advisor) to the
extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
the expense limitation amount listed below as a percentage of the average net
assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. The
Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor
for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more
than thirty-six months before the date of such reimbursement. With respect to
the Expense Assumption Agreement, prior year fees waived and/or assumed

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings 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, 2019,
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 accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no
effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows

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 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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios did not have any capital
loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... $107,789 $11,416 -- $11,416
Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 152,863 19,749 -- 19,749
Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 140,692 20,028 -- 20,028
Dimensional 2035 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 114,262 16,063 -- 16,063
Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 92,885 13,223 -- 13,223
Dimensional 2045 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 69,218 9,796 -- 9,796
Dimensional 2050 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 55,523 8,729 -- 8,729
Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 30,186 3,110 -- 3,110
Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 21,320 2,063 -- 2,063
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
ASC 740 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.
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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
52
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
under the lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except
percentages and days):
MAXIMUM

AVERAGE AVERAGE NUMBER OF INTEREST BORROWED BORROWINGS

Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 2.56% 92 6 -- 143 --
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive
days during the year ended October 31, 2019, that each Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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
53
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
H. 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.
I. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
J. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.
APPROXIMATE
PERCENTAGE
NUMBER OF OF OUTSTANDING
SHAREHOLDERS SHARES

Dimensional 2020 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 8 78%
Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 8 73%
Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 9 82%
Dimensional 2035 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 7 69%
Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 8 78%

Dimensional 2050 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 7 76%
Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 7 79%
Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund......... 6 74%
The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes
54
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.
K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the
Portfolios through the date on which 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

OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of Dimensional 2020 Target Date
Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2025 Target Date Retirement Income Fund,
Dimensional 2030 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2035 Target
Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2040 Target Date Retirement Income
Fund, Dimensional 2045 Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2050
Target Date Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2055 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund and Dimensional 2060 Target Date Retirement Income Fund (nine of
the portfolios constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter
collectively referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the
related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to
as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
Portfolios as of October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian and the transfer agent of the investee funds.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a
Trustee/Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as
well as other recent professional experience.

FUND'S ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORTS.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ACCESS TO SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of each Portfolio's annual and
semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you
specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Portfolio or from
your financial intermediary. Instead, the reports will be made available on a
Portfolio's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is
posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you
will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may
elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically
from a Portfolio anytime by contacting the Portfolio's transfer agent at
(888) 576-1167 or by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future shareholder reports in paper free of
charge. You can inform a Portfolio that you wish to continue receiving paper
copies of your shareholder reports by contacting your financial intermediary
or, if you invest directly with the Portfolio, by calling (888) 576-1167, to
let the Portfolio know of your request. Your election to receive reports in
paper will apply to all DFA Funds held directly or to all funds held through
your financial intermediary.

For Portfolios investing in non-U.S. equities traded outside of the U.S.
market time zone, differences in the valuation timing and methodology between a
Portfolio and its benchmark index may impact relative performance over the
referenced period. The Portfolios price foreign exchange rates at the closing
of the U.S. market, while their benchmark indices use rates at 4 p.m. London
time. The Portfolios 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, 2019,
these differences generally detracted from the Portfolios' relative performance.
FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
Bond yields decreased in the U.S. during the 12 months ended October 31,
2019. Long-term yields decreased more than short-term yields did. As a result,
long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds for the period. Bond
yields also generally decreased in Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K.,
resulting in outperformance of longer-term bonds in these markets as well.
Long-term bonds generally outperformed short-term bonds in global developed
fixed income markets for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019. For
example, the FTSE World Government Bond Index 1-3 Years (hedged to USD)
returned 4.10%, while the FTSE World Government Bond Index 20+ Years (hedged to
USD) returned 24.96%. Within the U.S., the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 1-3 Years returned 4.62%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury
Bond Index 20+ Years returned 28.19%.

Many of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable maturity
approach that identifies a maturity range with higher expected returns. When
the yield curve is flat or inverted, short-term securities are believed to
offer higher expected returns. When the yield curve is upwardly sloped,
portfolio maturities may be lengthened to seek the higher expected returns
associated with longer maturities. These higher returns may be achieved by
capital appreciation (from holding bonds through an upwardly sloped term
structure) as well as by earning higher current yields. During the period under
review, the short-term Portfolios employing a variable maturity approach
generally reduced their durations, reflecting the relatively flat to inverted
short-term segments of eligible yield curves. The intermediate-term Portfolios
employing a variable maturity approach generally continued to maintain a
duration near the longer end of their eligible range, reflecting the upward
slope of the term structure from the intermediate to longer end of eligible
yield curves.
Some of Dimensional's fixed income strategies use a variable credit approach
that varies exposure to lower-quality securities. When credit spreads are
narrow, higher-quality securities are emphasized. When credit spreads are wide,
additional credit exposure may be taken in order to position a Portfolio to
seek higher expected returns by capturing high expected credit premiums. Credit
spreads remained narrow during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019. Many of
the portfolios employing a variable credit approach held less than their
maximum allowable weight in credit.
TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2019
2005-2015 REVIEW
The Dimensional Target Date Retirement Income Portfolios listed below are
designed for investors in retirement and who are planning to withdraw the value
of their investment in a Portfolio over many years after the target date:
Dimensional 2005 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement Income Fund
Each Portfolio allocates investments to other equity and fixed income mutual
funds managed by Dimensional (the "Underlying Funds"). Over time, each
Portfolio's allocation to the Underlying Funds is expected to change based on
an asset allocation strategy that generally becomes more conservative (reducing
its allocation to equity
6
Underlying Funds and increasing its allocation to fixed income Underlying
Funds).
Each Portfolio uses equity Underlying Funds as growth assets and uses fixed
income Underlying Funds to hedge against changes to the cost of funding
in-retirement consumption. Over time, the percentage allocated by a Portfolio
to growth assets is expected to decrease and the percentage allocated to
hedging assets is expected to increase.
In evaluating the performance of the hedging portion of the Portfolio, we
believe investors should focus on changes to their cost of funding
in-retirement consumption rather than on asset growth. During periods in which
real interest rates decrease, the present-day cost of funding an investor's
future in-retirement consumption generally increases. As a result, the portion
of the Portfolio allocated to the fixed income Underlying Funds, which is
intended to hedge against changes to cost of funding in-retirement consumption,
should be evaluated alongside changes in the cost of funding in-retirement
consumption.
For the one-year period ending October 31, 2019, in aggregate, the equity
Underlying Funds had positive returns and contributed to the Portfolios' growth
assets. The fixed income Underlying Funds generally had positive returns, as
interest rates generally decreased; however, as previously discussed, the cost
of funding investors' consumption in retirement increased due to the decline in
interest rates.
DIMENSIONAL 2005 TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional 2005 Target Date Retirement Income Fund seeks capital
appreciation and income by investing in a combination of mutual funds managed
by Dimensional that invest in equity and fixed income securities. During the
period covered by this report, the Fund's investments in equity funds included
the U.S Large Company Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, Large Cap
International Portfolio, International Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging
Markets Core Equity Portfolio (collectively, the "Equity Underlying Funds") and
the Portfolio's investments in fixed income funds included the DFA One-Year
Fixed Income Portfolio and the DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio
(collectively, the "Fixed Income Underlying Funds"). The investment strategy is
process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 8.27% for the
Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the Fund's
equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index, 1-3
Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As a
result of the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified investment
approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in global
equity and fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited group
of securities.
The Equity Underlying Funds are intended to constitute the Fund's growth
assets and invest in stocks across all eligible countries, with a greater
allocation than the equity benchmark to the U.S. and lesser allocations to
developed ex U.S. and emerging markets countries.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the Fund's Equity Underlying Funds
collectively underperformed the equity benchmark. The Equity Underlying Funds'
greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks had a negative impact on
performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks globally. At the sector level, the Equity
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
The Fund's holdings of the Fixed Income Underlying Funds are intended to
hedge against changes to the cost of funding in-retirement consumption by
targeting the duration of investors' retirement consumption liabilities. These
holdings had an average duration of approximately 5.3 years over the 12 months
ended October 31, 2019, compared to an average duration of approximately 1.9
years for the fixed income benchmark. The Fund's holdings of the Fixed Income
Underlying Funds outperformed the fixed income benchmark for the period. The
Fixed Income Underlying Funds' longer duration relative to the fixed income
benchmark was the primary driver of outperformance during a period in which
realized term premiums were positive.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 8.27% for the
Fund and 8.60% for the S&P STRIDE Glide Path 2005 Index, a target date
benchmark.
DIMENSIONAL 2010 TARGET DATE RETIREMENT INCOME FUND
The Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund seeks capital
appreciation and income by investing
7
in a combination of other mutual funds managed by Dimensional that invest in
equity and fixed income securities. During the period covered by this report,
the Fund's investments in equity funds included the U.S Large Company
Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 1 Portfolio, Large Cap International Portfolio,
International Core Equity Portfolio, and Emerging Markets Core Equity Portfolio
(collectively, the "Equity Underlying Funds") and the Portfolio's investments
in fixed income funds included the DFA Inflation-Protected Securities Portfolio
and the DFA LTIP Portfolio (collectively, the "Fixed Income Underlying Funds").
The investment strategy is process driven, emphasizing broad diversification.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 10.09% for
the Fund, 11.97% for the S&P Global Broad Market Index (net dividends), the
Fund's equity benchmark, and 4.10% for the FTSE World Government Bond Index,
1-3 Years, Currency-Hedged in USD Terms, the Fund's fixed income benchmark. As
a result of the Equity and Fixed Income Underlying Funds' diversified
investment approach, performance was determined principally by broad trends in
global equity and fixed income markets rather than by the behavior of a limited

performance relative to the benchmark, as value stocks generally underperformed
high relative price (growth) stocks globally. At the sector level, the Equity
Underlying Funds' exclusion of real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted
from relative performance, as REITs generally outperformed globally.
The Fund's holdings of the Fixed Income Underlying Funds are intended to
hedge against changes to the cost of funding in-retirement consumption by
targeting the duration of investors' retirement consumption liabilities. These
holdings had an average duration of approximately 7.7 years over the 12 months
ended October 31, 2019, compared to an average duration of approximately 1.9
years for the fixed income benchmark. The Fund's holdings of the Fixed Income
Underlying Funds outperformed the fixed income benchmark for the period. The
Fixed Income Underlying Funds' longer duration relative to the fixed income
benchmark was the primary driver of outperformance during a period in which
realized term premiums were positive.
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2019, the total return was 10.09% for
the Fund and 10.95% for the S&P STRIDE Glide Path 2010 Index, a target date
benchmark.

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 and 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" reflects 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.

Investment Group Inc. ("DIG") (collectively, the "Underlying Funds"). The
Underlying Funds' shareholder reports are not covered by this report. A copy of
the Underlying Funds' shareholder reports is available from the EDGAR database
on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. As of October 31, 2019, the

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, the
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 use 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, though not limited to, equity securities and
futures contracts. Underlying Fund shares are valued at their respective
daily net asset values as reported by their administrator, as the
Underlying Funds are treated as regulated investment companies and are
also included as Level 1 investments.
. 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)
A valuation hierarchy is included at the end of the Schedules of
Investments. The methodology or inputs used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those
securities.
2. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: Each eligible Director of the Fund may elect
to participate 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: the U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio, U.S. Core
Equity 1 Portfolio, U.S. Core Equity 2 Portfolio, U.S. Vector Equity Portfolio,
U.S. Micro Cap Portfolio, DFA International Value Portfolio, International Core
Equity Portfolio, Emerging Markets Portfolio, Emerging Markets Core Equity
Portfolio, and/or DFA Two-Year Global Fixed Income Portfolio. Contributions
made under the Plan and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
and income are included in Directors'/ Trustees' Fees & Expenses.
The Directors may receive their distributions of proceeds by 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. The 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, 2019, 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/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 investments in affiliated investment companies that
represent a
22
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 received distributions 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, using 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.
C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR:
The Advisor, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, provides investment management
services to each Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the
Portfolios' investment management fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to
the Advisor based on the following effective annual rates of average daily net
assets:
Dimensional 2005 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund*.......................... 0.01%
Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund*.......................... 0.01%
Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund*.......................... 0.01%
* Effective as of February 28, 2019, the management fee payable by each
Portfolio was reduced from 0.03% to 0.00%.
Effective February 28, 2019, pursuant to an Expense Assumption Agreement
(the "Expense Assumption Agreement") for each Portfolio, the Advisor has
contractually agreed to assume the ordinary operating expenses of the
Institutional Class of a Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio
incurs indirectly through its investment in other investment companies managed
by the Advisor) ("Portfolio Expenses") to the extent necessary to limit the
Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to the expense limitation amount
listed below as a percentage of the average net assets of the Institutional
Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis (the "Expense Limitation
Amount"). The Expense Assumption Agreement for each Portfolio will remain in
effect through February 28, 2020, and may only be terminated by the Fund's
Board of Directors prior to that date. The Expense Assumption Agreement shall
continue in effect from year to year thereafter unless terminated by the Fund
or the Advisor. At any time that the Portfolio Expenses of the Institutional
Class of a Portfolio are less than the Expense Limitation Amount, 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 Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio
to exceed the Expense Limitation Amount listed below. The net amount of waived
fees/expenses assumed (recovered previously waived fees/expenses assumed)
during the year ended October 31, 2019, and the previously waived fees/expenses
assumed subject to future recovery by the Advisor as of October 31, 2019, are
reflected below (amounts in thousands). Prior to February 28, 2019, pursuant to
a Fee Waiver and Expense Assumption Agreement for each Portfolio, the Advisor
had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and to
assume the ordinary operating expenses of the Institutional Class of a
Portfolio (excluding the expenses that the Portfolio incurs indirectly through
its investment in other investment companies managed by the Advisor) to the
extent necessary to limit the Portfolio Expenses of a class of the Portfolio to
the expense limitation amount listed below as a percentage of the average net
assets of the Institutional Class of the Portfolio on an annualized basis. The
Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, is not obligated to reimburse the Advisor
for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Advisor more
than thirty-six months before the date of such reimbursement. With respect to
the Expense Assumption Agreement, prior year fees waived and/or assumed
expenses can be recaptured only if the expense ratio following such recapture
would be less than the expense cap that was in place when such prior year fees
were waived and/or expenses assumed, and less than the current expense cap in
place for a Portfolio.

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, 2019, the total related amount paid by the Fund
to the CCO was $312 (in thousands). The total related amounts paid by each of
the Portfolios are included in Other Expenses on the Statements of Operations.
D. DEFERRED COMPENSATION:
As of October 31, 2019, the total liability for deferred compensation to
Directors is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the

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 that these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or distributable
earnings 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, 2019,
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 accounts mentioned above. These reclassifications had no
effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared and paid during
the years ended October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2019, were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET INVESTMENT

SHORT-TERM LONG-TERM TAX EXEMPT

2019................................................ 1,014 4 -- 1,018
As of October 31, 2019, the following net investment income and short-term
capital gains and long-term capital gains distributions designated for federal
income tax purposes are due to the use of accumulated earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders upon redemption of shares (amounts in thousands):

As of October 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings
(accumulated losses) were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Income Fund........................... -- 80 1,599 1,679
Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund........................... -- 49 4,025 4,074
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 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. As of October 31, 2019, the Portfolios did not have any capital
loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.
During the year ended October 31, 2019, the following Portfolio used the
following capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains for
federal income tax purposes (amount in thousands):
Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund........................... $36
As of October 31, 2019, the total cost and aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of securities for federal income tax purposes were
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, as follows
(amounts in thousands):
NET
UNREALIZED
FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED APPRECIATION
TAX COST APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) (DEPRECIATION)
-------- ------------ -------------- --------------
Dimensional 2005 Target Date Retirement

Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund........................... 18,066 1,599 -- 1,599
Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund........................... 47,511 4,025 -- 4,025
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash
sales.
ASC 740 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.
27
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 April 10, 2019, with its domestic custodian bank. A line of credit
with similar terms was in effect through April 10, 2019. 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 April 8, 2020.
The Fund, together with other Dimensional-advised portfolios, has also
entered into an additional $700 million unsecured line of credit with its
international custodian bank effective January 4, 2019. A line of credit with
similar terms was in effect through January 4, 2019. 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 $700 million in the aggregate. Each portfolio is individually, and not
jointly, liable for its particular advances under the line of credit.
Borrowings under the line of credit are charged interest at rates agreed upon
by the parties at the time of borrowing. There is no commitment fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The agreement for the discretionary line
of credit may be terminated by either party at any time. The line of credit
agreement expires on January 3, 2020.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, borrowings by the following Portfolios
under the lines of credit were as follows (amounts in thousands, except
percentages and days):
WEIGHTED
AVERAGE WEIGHTED NUMBER OF INTEREST MAXIMUM AMOUNT OUTSTANDING
INTEREST AVERAGE DAYS EXPENSE BORROWED DURING BORROWINGS

Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement Income
Fund......................................... 3.00% 220 68 $ 1 535 81
* Number of Days Outstanding represents the total of single or consecutive
days during the year ended October 31, 2019, that each Portfolio's available
line of credit was used.
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 use the interfund lending program during the year
ended October 31, 2019.
H. 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.
28
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.
I. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period
for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date.
The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and
interim periods within those annual periods. Management has evaluated the
requirements of this update and does not expect any material impact to the
Portfolios' financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements"
("ASU 2018-13"). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and
additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU
2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted
by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Portfolios' early adoption of all of the ASU 2018-13
disclosure requirements are reflected within these financial statements
prepared as of October 31, 2019.
J. OTHER:
As of October 31, 2019, 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.

Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement
Income Fund........................... 7 71%
The Portfolios are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time
in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company
Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of
The Tribune Company who tendered shares when The Tribune Company went private
in 2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds
received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that
resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations,
or our cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and
management's view of these matters may change in the future.
K. SUBSEQUENT EVENT EVALUATIONS:
The Board of Directors of the Fund, on behalf of the Dimensional 2005 Target
Date Retirement Income Fund (the "2005 Target Date Fund"), approved a Plan of
Reorganization, under which the 2005 Target Date Fund will be reorganized with
and into the Dimensional Retirement Income Fund (the "Retirement Income Fund"),
another portfolio of the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The 2005 Target Date Fund
and the Retirement Income Fund have identical investment objectives and
fundamental investment restrictions. The Portfolios are part of Dimensional's
suite of target date retirement income funds that seek to achieve an asset
allocation consistent with the fund's position on the evolving asset allocation
"glide path" disclosed in its prospectus. Based on the design of the glide
path, each such fund generally becomes more conservative (e.g., by reducing its
allocation to equity underlying funds and increasing its allocation to fixed
income underlying funds) until reaching a final static asset allocation or
"landing point" fifteen years after its target date, at which time the fund
will have approximately the same asset allocation as the Retirement Income
Fund. Accordingly, as disclosed in the 2005 Target Date Fund's prospectus, the
2005 Target
29
Date Fund will have approximately the same asset allocation as the Retirement
Income Fund as of 2020, which is fifteen years past the 2005 Target Date Fund's
targeted retirement date. Shareholder approval of the Reorganization is not
required and will not be solicited. It is currently expected that the
Reorganization will be completed on or about February 10, 2020. Management has
evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Dimensional 2010 Target
Date Retirement Income Fund and Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement Income
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 Directors of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc. and
Shareholders of Dimensional 2005 Target Date Retirement Income Fund,
Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund and Dimensional 2015 Target
Date Retirement Income Fund
OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of Dimensional 2005 Target Date
Retirement Income Fund, Dimensional 2010 Target Date Retirement Income Fund and
Dimensional 2015 Target Date Retirement Income Fund (three of the portfolios
constituting DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., hereafter collectively
referred to as the "Portfolios") as of October 31, 2019, the related statements
of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019,
including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial
statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of
October 31, 2019, 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 ended October 31, 2019, and each of the financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios'
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures
included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by
correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the investee funds. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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,
Abbie J. Smith and Ingrid M. Werner. 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 acts as a liaison between the Fund's
independent registered certified public accounting firm and the full Board.
There were two Audit Committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Nominating Committee is composed of George M. Constantinides,
Roger G. Ibbotson, Myron S. Scholes, Edward P. Lazear, Abbie J. Smith, Douglas
W. Diamond, Darrell Duffie and Ingrid M. Werner. Each member of the Nominating
Committee is a disinterested Trustee/Director. The Nominating Committee for
each Board makes recommendations for nominations of disinterested and
interested members on the Board to the disinterested Board members and to the
full Board. The Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate's qualification for
Board membership and the independence of such candidate from the Advisor and
other principal service providers. The Nominating Committee met one time during
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Each Board's Strategy Committee is composed of Gerard K. O'Reilly, Douglas W.
Diamond, Edward P. Lazear, Myron S. Scholes and Darrell Duffie. The Strategy
Committee assists the Board in carrying out its fiduciary duties with respect
to the oversight of the Fund and its performance. At the request of the Board
or the Advisor, the Strategy Committee (i) reviews the design of possible new
series of the Fund, (ii) reviews performance of existing portfolios of the
Funds and discusses and recommends possible enhancements to the portfolios'
investment strategies, (iii) reviews proposals by the Advisor to modify or
enhance the investment strategies or policies of each portfolio, and
(iv) considers issues relating to investment services for each portfolio of the
Fund. There were three Strategy Committee meetings held during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2019.
Certain biographical information for each disinterested Trustee/Director and
interested Trustee/Director of the Funds is set forth in the tables below,
including a description of each Trustee/Director's experience as a Trustee/
Director of the Funds and as a Director or Trustee of other funds, as well as
other recent professional experience.
The statements of additional information (together, "SAI") of the Funds include
additional information about each Trustee/Director. You may obtain copies of

(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, 2019 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, 2019: $1,435,444
Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2018: $1,820,299
(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.
