The core strategy targets the entire stock market, so
simple characteristics data do not describe its
complexity. For this reason, the portfolio is analyzed as
a breakout of size and price-to-book components. This,
too, could oversimplify, because the core is an
integrated structure, not a fund of funds or a simple set
of nine categories. But it should give of a sense of the
economic forces driving price changes.

Quarterly and yearly portfolio, size and price-to-book, and market component performance data are calculated at the end of the quarter. Market component weights and the number of
securities are the quarterly average of the first of each month; for this reason, the number of securities may not match the quarter-end characteristics. Market component weights and
performance data use the following breaks: large, mid, and small cap are based on total market capitalization; value, neutral, and growth are based on price-to-book (P/B) ratio breaks.
Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the
performance shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, visit www.dimensional.com.
