The Portfolio is a Feeder Portfolio and pursues its objective by investing substantially all of its assets in its corresponding master fund, the Dimensional Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Emerging Markets Value Fund”), which has the same investment objective and policies as the Portfolio. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, it will invest at least 80% of its net assets in emerging markets investments that are defined in the Prospectus as Approved Markets securities.
